New banks are added after the selected bank, or at the beginningwhen no existing bank is selected. You can click on any entry in thebank list and change its name by typing in the lower text box labeledSelected bank’s title. This will change only the way the label appearsin bundles, where it is convenient not to have the model numberrepeated again (since the model number is usually part of the patchtype name, as described in the “Define Custom Patch Type” section).Furthermore, some MIDI devices have several banks of the same patchtype. In this case, you can add the same patch type two or more times(once for each bank), as long as you change each name. For example asynthesizer may have an internal bank and a card bank of voices. Firstadd the patch type for voices to the device, rename it to “internalvoices,” then add the patch type again and rename the second one to“card voices.”PatchTalk ScriptsAfter you have created a device and its patch types, you’ll need tocreate a set of scripts for each patch type:• Create a new bank for the new patch type by choosing File>NewBank.The Custom menu appears next to the Load/Send menu. It containsa command for each script.• Choose an item from the Custom menu to edit the script for it.A text editing window containing that script opens so you canenter and edit the script.Figure 5: Script Editing WindowGet Patch and SendPatchYou write these scripts to describe how to transfer a single patch to orfrom the MIDI device. They usually instruct Galaxy to send systemexclusive data to the MIDI device and, in the case of Get Patch, toreceive it as well. There might also be PatchTalk instructions fordecoding or encoding the data before and after transmission overMIDI.Opcode Publication 1950906 - 9 - PatchTalk Guide
