I am using the GS Wave Table Software Synth with an external midi keyboard. How do I change the Instrument patch. I just get the default piano patch but would like to change to a different instrument. I do not see any user interface that lets me do this. I am not using any DLS Soft Synth. Any suggetions?

You have to insert patch changes into your MIDI file, or send program changes from your keyboard while recording. Since the GS Wave Table Software Synth appears as an external MIDI device to ACID, you have limited internal control.

Q: Why use the GS Wave Table software synth? It is the same thing as the DLS synth ACID supports internally. By using the internal DLS synth, you can control patches/voicing directly from with in ACID and you can add FX to the signal path/bus of the DLS synth and you can load in different DLS synth banks.
