Accessing sounds from QuickTime Music Synthesizer?

[logicpro8user]

Hi,

 

I appreciate this will sound like very, very simple stuff but it has been bugging me for a while and I would really like to know the answer:

 

When using Apple DLS Music Device in Logic 8 I am only able to access the 128 GM Sounds that are in "Quicktime Music Synthesizer".

However, I know there are loads more GS based sounds such as 60's Strings and 60's Electric Piano but I don't know how to input the relevant bank changes to access these.

 

I have read all about GM Midi 2, MSB/LSB etc etc but none of it seems to make any sense.

 

I can see and hear all the various GM/GS in tiny apps like SimpleSynth (Apple DLS Soundset) and would just like to know how to incorporate these into Logic 8.

 

I know how to use Soundfonts but would like to know how to access the sounds straight from the internal "Quick Time Music Synthesizer" via the Apple DLS Music Device audio unit.

 

Thanks for any help!!
