168 Chapter 5 The Environment
Multi Instrument Window
Double-clicking on a multi-instrument opens the multi-instrument window:
Name and Short Name
At the top left, under Device Name, you can enter the full name of the multi-instrument.
To the top right, under Short Device Name, you can also enter a short name. This short
name is used in the Arrange window track list, when the program name is displayed.
The short name is shown directly beside the icon, so leave a space in front of it, if you
want uniform (name) spacing in the track list.
Depending on whether or not you have checked the sub-channel’s Prg box, the
following information will appear in the Arrange window track list:
• the name of the multi-instrument and channel number (if the box is not checked) or
• the short name, channel number and program name (if the box is checked).
Program Names
There are 128 program names in the multi-instrument window. A total of 15 banks of
128 program names are available. There are several ways of entering the program
names:
• by double-clicking on the name (via the text input field),
• by copying (via the Clipboard) from a different multi-instrument, or from a word
processing program. The Clipboard functions for a whole sound bank are available in
the text import pull-down menu (downwards arrow at the top right). First, copy the
program numbers or General MIDI names to the Clipboard, and add them to a word
processor document. You can then edit the names and copy the whole section back
again.
• if you want to use program numbers instead of names, select Init Names as Numbers
from the text import menu.
• if you want to use General MIDI program names, select Init General MIDI Names.
If the Use GM Drum Names for Channel 10 box at the very bottom is checked, the
standard GM drum set names will be shown in the Prg pull-down menu of the
Parameter box for sub-channel 10.
