Using MIDI devices
MIDI devices – general settings and patch handling
IMPORTANT
For details on which MIDI events are used for selecting patches in the MIDI device,
consult its documentation.
● 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 such as Bank Select click directly 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.
IMPORTANT
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.
Add Multiple Presets
This opens a dialog, allowing you to set up a range of presets to be added to the
selected bank or folder.
Adding Multiple Presets
PROCEDURE
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 such as 3, 15 or 127 in the Range column, 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, separated by a dash
such as 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.
NOTE
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 rename presets
manually in the Patch Banks list later.
