Hi:

My son has procured an A50 Roland keyboard which he is using to input to Encore on a PC. We can get midi out of the keyboard (sometimes) but really don't know how to set up the keyboard.

What we are trying to do is understand how to set up say patch A11 to output a piano sound using the whole keyboard on MIDI channel 1.

We have been spending a lot of time in the manual and playing with the A50 and we have determined that some of the patches have sounds.

We can change patches and we can protect and unprotect memory
and we can copy patches and we can even set up key 28 to key 103 to output on midi channel 1 with a transpose of 0. (Page 45)

The thing we can't do yet and it is frustrating us no end, is to assign a sound (any sound) to a patch. When we cycle through the patches there are some patches with sounds, but we haven't figured out how to control this.

Can anyone help us.........
