[RWP] Patch and bank changes: Something I should know, but can't figure out

[Chris Belle]

It's been my experience though that many of them don't accept them.

But yeh, that goes without saying.

I've never tried hypersonic2 in reaper,
or do you mean the original
hypersonic?

Bank and patch show up fine in sonar on that,
but we're talkin reaper here.

  Midi in reaper drives me nuts.
