Feature Request: Bank Select by MSB, LSB

[JohnK]

This would be a relatively low priority, however, I find myself using the bank select quite often.The issue I have with it, for synths that do not report their patch/bank back to Cakewalk, is that I have to pull out a calculator every-time to multiply out the MSB by 128 and add the LSB, to get to the desired bank, from which to select the patch.

A simple idea (not necessarily simple to execute) would be if when in the bank select in edit by text (as shown in the first attached image), if a pop-up appeared that allowed entering the bank number by MSB  and LSB would make it soooo much simpler and less painful. For example, the number 272 below is MSB=2 LSB=16. I did a very quick mock-up to give an idea of how it may look more useful (attached image 2). Labels would probably help, but the mock-up is done.

Of course the feature request below would alleviate a lot of the need, but not completely.
