Just had a quick look at this (only had time to try the effects). These
seem to work correctly so far. No crashes or other problems so far.

However, I noticed the Edit button has disappeared! Is it being hidden by
the
instrument name window?

Sorry Will, I've jumped straight from a tentative "does my bum look big in
this?"
to "let's get furiously artistic with LFOs and envelopes", without due
consideration of the program bank handling. As David found, a right click is
the
key there. Once you're in there, keep in mind that I've done limited testing
on
the editing functionality. For various reasons I've been struggling with
holding
the level of focus that requires, so it's been slow going.

NP - puzzled but not seriously inconvenienced :)

Finally, I wanted to bring in all my old instrument banks. The 'reload
database' function worked but seems to have put all the instruments in
totally
random order - and there is no way to re-order them :(

Very good point, and I should have seen it coming. Actually I did, but
unwisely
ignored it. The scan currently just loads in the order they come off disk. It
needs to honour the "0111-Rude_Farty_Noises.xiz" labelling, so I'll work on
that
forthwith.

Ah, that'll be good then!

Please folks, be cautious about how much time and emotional commitment you
invest
while things are undergoing violent change. That applies to both the program
bank
concepts and the midi controller assignments. They're both in flux, and
eventually
we'll refine what we really want and how it's to work, but for now things are
not what you'd call stable in those areas.

Tsk, tsk. How will you know if you've got it right without a few crazy
testers :D
