Using MIDI devices
MIDI devices – general settings and patch handling
Defining a new MIDI device
If your MIDI device is not included in the list of pre-configured devices (and is not a “plain” GM or
XG device), you need to define it manually to make it possible to select patches by name.
PROCEDURE
1. In the MIDI Device Manager, click the Install Device button.
The Add MIDI Device dialog opens.
2. Select “Define New…” and click OK.
A dialog appears.
3. Enter the name of the device and the MIDI channels you would like the device to use and
click OK.
The device appears in the Installed Devices list.
4. Select the device in the list.
As you can see, it contains only an Empty Bank item.
5. Make sure that the Enable Edit checkbox is activated.
Now you can use the functions on the Commands pop-up menu on the left to organize the
patch structure of the new device.
Installing a preset MIDI device
PROCEDURE
1. Click the Install Device button.
A dialog opens listing all pre-configured MIDI devices. For now we assume that your MIDI
device is included in this list.
2. Locate and select the device in the list and click OK.
If your MIDI device is not included in the list but is compatible with the GM (General MIDI)
or XG standards, you can select the generic GM or XG Device options at the top of the list.
When you select one of these options, a name dialog will appear. Enter a name for the
instrument and click OK.
The device now appears in the Installed Devices list to the left.
3. Make sure that the new device is selected in the list and open the Output pop-up menu.
4. Select the MIDI output that the device is connected to.
RESULT
The Patch Banks list in the left half of the window shows the patch structure of the device.
This could simply be a list of patches, but it is usually one or several layers of banks or groups
containing the patches (much like a folder structure on a hard disk for example).
● You can rename a device in the Installed Devices list by double-clicking and typing – this is
useful if you have several devices of the same model, and want to separate them by name
instead of by number.
