To edit the name of the program, tap the cursor icon on the right edge of the section. Use the virtual keyboard
that appears to enter a new name, and then tap Do It.
To create a new program of the currently selected type, tap the + icon. A new program of the same type will be
created and appended with a number (e.g., Program 002).

Use the MIDI Ch field to select the MIDI channel the
program uses. Use this setting when you are working with
a virtual instrument plugin that supports multi-mode.

plugin the program is using.
