IWBNI it were possible to specify patches that involve the use of bank selection in the file instrument.txt. Notes: The file instrument.txt is used by the Document Setup Wizard to create instruments for a new document. As it is now, simple program changes that do not involve bank selection may be specified for a given instrument by using the Patch field in the INS record for the instrument.

This could be implemented by allowing one to use any of the following formats to specify the value of the Patch field in an INS record:
 

Patch Field Data Formats
Program Change Type	Data Format	Example
Program Change	i	Patch = 75
Bank Select 0, Bank Select 32, Program Change	bbp i j k	Patch = bbp 2 8 108
Bank Select 0, Program Change	b0p i j	Patch = b0p 8 116
Bank Select 32, Program Change	b32p i j	Patch = b32p 6 85
Program Change, Program Change	pp i j	Patch = pp 3 94

Note: The program change types listed here are the same as those in the Patch list box on the Instrument Definition dialog box.
