Using MIDI devices
MIDI devices – general settings and patch handling

Selecting a patch for an installed device
If you return to the Project window at this point, you will find that the installed device has
been added to the MIDI Output menus (in the track list and the Inspector). Now you can
select patches by name, in the following way:
PROCEDURE
1. Open the Output menu (in the track list or Inspector) for the track you want to
associate the installed device with, and select the device.
This directs the track to the MIDI output specified for the device in the MIDI Device
Manager. The Bank and Program Selector fields in the track list and Inspector are
replaced by a single Program Selector field that reads “Off”.
2. Click the Program Selector field to display a pop-up menu, hierarchically listing all the
patches in the device.
The list is similar to the one displayed in the MIDI Device Manager. You can scroll the
list up and down (if required), click the plus/minus signs to show or hide subgroups,
etc.
You can also use a filter function here. For this, enter the search term in the Filter
field, e.g. “drum”, and press Return to display all sounds with “drum” in the name.
3. Click a patch in the list to select it.
This sends the appropriate MIDI message to the device. You can also scroll the
program selection up or down, as with any value.
Renaming patches in a device
The pre-configured devices list is based on the factory-preset patches, i.
e. the patches
included in the device when you first bought it. If you have replaced some of the factory
presets with your own patches, you need to modify the device so that the patch name list
matches the actual device:
PROCEDURE
1. In the MIDI Device Manager, select the device in the Installed Devices list.
Make sure that the Patch Banks tab is selected.
2. Activate the Enable Edit checkbox.
When this is turned off (default), you cannot edit the pre-configured devices.
3. In the Patch Banks list, locate and select the patch you want to rename.
In many instruments, the user-editable patches are located in a separate group or
bank.
4. Click on the selected patch in the Patch Banks list to edit its name.
5. Type in the new name and press Return.
