128; SONAR numbers patches from 0 to 127, so patch #004 in SONAR is the same
patch number as patch #005 on the Roland). Let’s look at some of the other Roland
XP-10 patch name lists in the right window of the Define Instruments and Names
dialog box to see if another one has the right patch names in it, and rename it Var
#01.
To Substitute and Rename a Patch List
1. Use the Options-Instruments command to open the Assign Instruments
dialog box, and click the Define button to open the Define Instruments and
Names dialog box.
2. In the Names Tree window on the right, click the + sign on the Patches folder
to expand the tree of patch name lists.
3. Scroll down to the Roland XP-10 Var #08 list and click its + sign to expand it.
4. Compare the names on the Var #08 list with the patch names of the Vari 1
instruments on the Roland’s display screen. You’ll see they are the same.
5. Let’s substitute the Var #08 list for the Var #01 list that SONAR currently
lists as the XP-10’s second bank, which has a bank change number of 128:
• In the Instruments tree in the left window, click the Roland XP-10 entry
to expand it, and then expand the Patch Names for Banks list that’s
directly under it.
• Expand the Patch Names tree in the right window and find the Roland
XP-10 Var #01 list (if there is one) and right-click it to display the popup
menu.
• Choose Edit from the popup menu, and change the name from Roland
XP-10 Var #01 to Roland XP-10 Var #011.
• In the same tree find the Roland XP-10 Var #08 list and change the name
from Roland XP-10 Var #08 to Roland XP-10 Var #01.
• Drag the newly renamed list from the Patch Names tree in the right
window to the Patch Names for Banks tree in the left window.
• In the Bank Number dialog box, enter 128, and click OK.
6. Click the Close button to close the Define Instruments and Names dialog box
and click OK to close the Assign Instruments and Names dialog box.
Examine the new bank and patch data in a track that uses 1-Roland XP-10 as an
output. In the Bnk field, select 128 Roland XP-10 Var #01, then look at the
dropdown list of patches in the Pch field. The list should now have the same names
that the Roland keyboard uses for its Vari 1 bank.
The Roland XP-10, like most MIDI keyboards, allows you to create your own
sounds and store them in one or more User banks. You can create patch name lists
in SONAR that are the same as the names you gave to each of your own sounds.
