One of my favorite techniques for band management is to create a
segment file with the band in it, and place that segment as a secondary
segment anywhere I want to use the band. This prevents me from having to
maintain 600 copies of essentially the same data.
However, setting the band (even if it's allready been set) is an
expensive operation - so don't nest them, or loop the segments
internally, as that will often cause hitching if the same patch is being
called multiple times.

Subject: [directmusic] newbie question: band management ?
Hi from France,
I'm a musician and I am trying to use DMP as i find that it has
interesting interactivity advantages over traditional arrangers. I spent
several days on help material already, that didn't help much ...
I am confused on how to use bands conveniently.
As a start, I set up a simple segment which has no band track and only
one style track. This style has one only band and midi pattern; band is
set as default. I found that updating band's instrument or level and pan
settings (double clicking band in project tree) will not update segment
playback.
Setting a band track in segment makes editing easier but will lead to
errors and loss of data as the link with band's style seems to get
broken: copying segment's band back to style tree makes things even more
confusing, as the original style is not replaced but renamed; then I
hardly understand which one becomes active or default...
I guess that this issue is too obvious to be anything else than a lack
of comprehension from me. Can someone please give me a few tips on bands
management?
Thanks for ur time :)
Roger
