<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Synths
don’t own banks. A bank number is from 0 to 16383, and a patch number is
either 0 to 127 or 1 to 128, depending on the base. It is up to the synth to
determine how it interprets that information. It isn’t standardized in any
way.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Try
bank 0 and use patches 1 through 128. See if anything happens. Most softsynths
respond to banks starting with bank 0. For hardware synths, though, the rules
are entirely different. Roland, for example, has a complex scheme that uses
the MSB of the bank number to select the area of memory used by that bank. If
you don’t know how to interpret that info, then you end up with bank numbers
like 8378 that seem to be selected at random.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Most
new synths don’t respond to bank/patch change, anyway. That’s old tech. Expect
new synths not to include it.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Since
most synths also use entirely inaccessible UIs, you can’t manipulate those
with a screen reader.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">The
only alternative is to have a program that, when you press a hot key, will
click on part of the synth’s interface. This lets you make a key that will,
for example, select the next preset by clicking the next preset button in the
inaccessible UI.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">For
Jaws, there is an add on tool called Hot Spot Clicker that makes creating and
using sets of hot spots fairly easy. It detects the program or synth that
you’re currently using by examining info like the window title, and enables
hotkeys that are appropriate for clicking just the controls of that
synth.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Of
course, HSC only works for Jaws, and the ReaAccess project is attempting to
stay screen reader neutral, so HSC might not be the best choice. You can
accomplish similar tasks with AutoIt, but they are much harder to develop, and
rquire that you know a little bit about basic programming concepts. Solutions
that you make with AutoIt, though, are completely independent of a screen
reader. Maybe you all can get a framework going for installing a set of AutoIt
hot spots as part of ReaAccess. You’ll need sighted people to help you locate
the controls, but, once they do, you can make hotkeys that click on those
points.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
