Hi! I'm considering purchasing Patchmeister. Could you tell me if it is known to work with the Proteus MPS and Roland JV-80? How about performance maps, can it accept them as well as patch/bank data? Thanks, Andy

I don't know for sure what all PatchMeister supports, except as it relates to the gear I am using! Since the Proteus line is supported, it would be relatively simple to support the MPS if it isn't already supported. I also believe that the JV-80 is supportable if it isn't already supported too.

Andy, I just got a mailing from Blue Ribbon which includes the latest list of synths directly supported by PatchMeister. ART: DR1 Alesis: HR-16, Quadraverb, SR-16 Casio: CZ-1, CZ-101, CZ-5000 E-mu: Procussion, Proteus 1/XR, Proteus 2/XR, Proteus 3/XR Ensoniq: ESQ-1, Mirage, SQ-R, SQ-R Plus Kat: DrumKat Kawai: K1, K4, Spectra Korg: M1, P3, T1-T3 Oberheim: Matrix 1000 Peavey: DPM-3 Roland: D-110, D-5, D-50, MT-32, R-5, U-220, Sound Canvas, U-110 SC1: DrumTracks Tascam: 644 & 688 MIDIStudio Yamaha: DX-7, RX11, SPX-90, SY-22, SY-55, SY-99, TG33, TG77, TF1, TX-7, TX-816, TX-81Z Blue Ribbon SoundWords: One Stop Music Shop The Proteus MPS and Roland JV-80 aren't mentioned as being specifically supported, but, that doesn't mean that it can't be done or isn't in development. I don't own PatchMeister, myself, but, possibly Melissa can comment on whether future support is planned for the synths you mentioned, and your other questions. David

Thanks for the info. The thing is, I'm not that worried about tweaking existing drivers to get them to work with the MPS and JV-80. I've looked at the demo of Patchmeister and doesn't appear that it would be that difficult. But recently I read in this forum that Patchmeister will absolutely not work with the Kurzweil 2000. I wanted to make sure that this isn't the case for the other keyboards.

Andrew, Tha PatchMeister will work with the MPS and JV-80. You'll just have to create the drivers for them yourselves, or call Blue Ribbon and request that they create them.
