How do I change the default patch for the M1? I'd like to have a descent GrandPiano sound as default. I tried "Save All Data as Default", and it changed the default patch... but not the one i'd hoped!
What am i doing wrong?

M1 piano
Hay Klooster,
I just saw a Roland U22 mod for $30 on C list......I would pick it up if you want a decent sounding piano as the M1 has its own sound of a piano, but not a real sounding one IMO...I have the Korg piano ROM card set and still use my M1 but the U220 had a better one for $30. The U220 is old tech and hard to use compared to the M1 but the sound quality was top notch with a volume control resistance defeat switch to improve it a bit. For $30 the U220 is hard to beat....I have 2 so do not need another, but would never sell one for $30....I paid over $600 over for the first in 1991 and was happy to get such a good deal...things change....$30 buys a lot now;-) I got tired of my Triton and am back with WS AD and 2 M1's. I have heard the Triton sound amazing but I like the old Korg sound and simple things..its up to the player so some of the old gear is a real deal if you can live with 16 voices and without USB, etc.
Aloha, John^^

Think Peace...
I don't know the answer to your question. But if it's a realistic grand piano you're after, then the free one from Tascamgiga.com will probably be better than anything the M1 or Wavestation offers. It sounds pretty good to me. 
GIGA Continuous Velocity Piano
The world's first instrument utilizing GIGA's Spectral Morphing technology instead of massive multisampling. This instrument utilizes only a single velocity sample, which is precisely and continuously expanded via the Spectral Interpolate Velocity (SIV) mode of GIGA's Spectral Morphing filters, to cover the full dynamic range, pp to ff, it is a FREE download from the TASCAM website.

No, just download it, install and use either as a vsti or standalone.
Actually, this has been around for well over a year (although I only recently found out about it myself). There's a rather long thread about it here. Not read it all, yet, but I gather some people have had problems with conflicting dongle drivers... Luckily I've not noticed any problems, and have full Legacy Collection licence(s) (Analog Edition 2007 + Digital Edition). That said, if you have other software that uses the same dongle, then you may need to some update drivers/licences (yes, computers are great, when they work..)
Just seen this video on youtube showing some tweaks for the CVPiano to improve CPU efficiency.
