Using MIDI devices
New Folder
Creates a new subfolder in the selected bank or folder.
This could correspond to a group of patches in the MIDI
device, or just be a way for you to categorize sounds, etc.
When you select this item, a name dialog opens, allowing
you to name the folder. You can also rename the folder af
-
terwards by clicking it and typing in the list.
New Preset
This adds a new preset in the selected bank or folder.
You can rename the preset by clicking it and typing a new
name.
When the preset is selected, the corresponding MIDI
events (Program Change, Bank Select, etc.) are shown in
the event display to the right. The default setting for a new
preset is Program Change 0 – to change this, proceed as
follows:
• To change which Program Change value is sent out to
select the patch, adjust the number in the Value column
for the Program Change event.
• To add another MIDI event (e. g. Bank Select) click di-
rectly below the last event in the list and select a new
event from the pop-up menu.
After adding a new event, you need to set its value in the Value column,
as with Program Change.
• To replace an event, click on it and select another event
from the pop-up menu.
For example, a MIDI device may require that a Bank Select message is
sent first, followed by a Program Change message, in which case you
would need to replace the default Program Change message with a
Bank Select message and add a new Program Change after that.
• To remove an event, select it and press [Delete] or
[Backspace].
Add Multiple Presets
This opens a dialog, allowing you to set up a range of pre-
sets to be added to the selected bank or folder.
Proceed as follows:
1. Add the event types required for selecting a patch in
the MIDI device.
This is done just as when editing the settings for a single event: clicking
in the event display brings up a pop-up menu from which you can select
an event type.
2. Use the Range column to set up either a fixed value or
a range of values for each event type in the list.
This requires some explanation:
If you specify a single value in the Range column (e. g. 3, 15 or 127), all
added presets will have an event of this type set to the same value.
If you instead specify a value range (a start value and an end value, sep-
arated by a dash, e. g. 0–63), the first added preset will have an event set
to the start value, the next value will be incrementally raised by one and
so on, up to and including the end value.
Ö The number of added presets depends on the Range
setting.
3. Specify a Default Name below the event display.
The added events will get this name, followed by a number. You can re-
name presets manually in the Patch Banks list later.
4. Click OK.
A number of new presets have now been added to the selected bank or
folder, according to your settings.

For details on which MIDI events are used for
selecting patches in the MIDI device, consult its
documentation.
!
Different devices use different schemes for Bank
Select. When you insert a Bank Select event, you
should check the device’s documentation to find out
whether to choose “CC: BankSelect MSB”, “Bank
Select 14 Bit”, “Bank Select 14 Bit MSB-LSB
Swapped” or some other option.
