Pro Tools 6.4 Le & Patch Names, Seeing patch names in PT 6.4 LE Options

[Jazzvox]

I want to know if anyone has had any luck getting PT 6.4 to show the patch names for their keyboard/midi controller
.
I am using a Roalnd XP-80 keyboard and I cannot get PT to show any of the patch names.

Each time I try and change the patch list I get numbers and it says no patch list selected.

If anyone has any solutions I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thanks a million...

hi

-how are you trying to change them, adding new .midnam files? I figured out how to convert old patchlists from freemidi/OMS to the midnam format and get PT to read them (or build new ones), but I dont remember what to do right now. If you want I can figure it out again because I need to do it sometime for my Nanosynth user bank. I did it before, but then I accidentally deleted the file during an uninstall of Pro Tools. If I remember right, the midnam files that PT reads must be called the exact name of the device and use the same header (i think thats what it is called) info in the XML file as all the rest of them in the folder. Its sorta stupid, I agree, but it can be done.

Cherrypicker is cool software for this stuff, though patchlists need the above tinkering in textedit before use in PT. ALso Digi has a page somewhere about editing midnams by hand in a text editor.
