Does anyone know how the bank/sub and pgm relate to the sub 37 in Ableton. I would just like it to open the patch when the project opens, its possible it has offsets so not sure what to enter.
regards in advance
I so hope this week is the one where the editor is released, fingers crossed.

It's fairly straight forward although I don't remember it off the top of my head. You basically ignore the bank numbers and think of it as 256 presets. From Ableton you may have to treat it as 2 banks of 128. If I remember to look when I get home in a few hours, I'll get you exact details.

Sorry this took so long
Code: Select all
Ableton Sub 37
Bank 1 Bank 1..8
Bank 2 Bank 9..16
Sub Bank not used
Program 1..128 Preset
Some examples
Sub 37 Ableton
Bank 1, Preset 1 Bank 1, Program 1
Bank 2, Preset 1 Bank 1, Program 17
Bank 2, Preset 5 Bank 1, Program 21
Bank 6, Preset 10 Bank 1, Program 90
Bank 10, Preset 10 Bank 2, Program 26
The general formula would be
IF Sub37_Bank < 9
Ableton_Bank = 1
Ableton_Program = ((Sub37_Bank - 1) * 16) + Sub37_Preset
IF Sub37_Bank >= 9
Ableton_Bank = 2
Ableton_Program = ((Sub37_Bank - 9) * 16) + Sub37_Preset
Hopefully my math isn't off an that's clear enough. If nothing else, experiment just with Ableton's Bank and Program and you'll figure it out.
