Thanks Bryan,
I'll study what you sent me ( only had a brief look before I went on holiday) and hopefully I'll make some sense of it. I USED to know a fair bit about midi and I used to fiddle round with sys ex messages (for my Roland synth modules). Haven't done anything like that for years, so hopefully I can get the old brain ticking again ( haahaa)

Hoped I had actually missed instructions in the manual " on how to", but obviously no such luck.

Most appreciative of your offer of help. I might also check with xg user group just in case someone has already done it and is willing to share.

thanks again
best wishes
Rikki

What I sent you was the updates for the 740 and 2000. The 550 updates aren't finalised yet as I'm waiting for someone to tell if the program changes run from 0-127 or 1-128, not by looking in the manual but by using a real 550.

Look on page 192 of your manual (if it's the same as my copy). It gives all the banks and program changes for the 9000Pro. What it won't do is tell you how to do it. You need some experience in programming, MIDI, sysex, music and a lot of native cunning. I had to do it all myself. If you unzip the updates I sent and read the readme files you'll get some idea of what to do. You can compare the updates with the originals (which are included). They are all text files so you can view them with Notepad or Wordpad. You can always email me for further guidance.

Bryan
