Instruments In Mac Osx, Expanders patches names in Mac OS X Options

[Playbach]

I have a JV 1010 expander (Roland) and I wonder how to create a list of patches as we could do with OMS names (OS8 and 9)

I have understood that there is a folder "bank" in the library folder in which we could put XML files describing the instruments adresses and that these banks must correspond to the expanders virtually connected in the CoreMidi panel.

Can someone know how to create manually this type of files (format, syntax, example, ...) ?

Thanks a lot for your help..

I saw this, once, it lets you take old OMS Factory Names and convert them to XML... it kinda worked, I never really investigated enough to see if it really worked-worked for pathces I didnt have, I still dont get the results of working with MIDI in X, its smoother..but..I dont get to see Bank names of instruments like I did in 9, anyway, at least it will let you see your XML file and how it was written.... everything is XML these days, which is good cause XML is easy...and yes, in Library there is a an Audio folder and in there is where you will drop these files...

hope this helps.....
