6. Rename the desired patches in this way, and finish by deactivating Enable Edit again
(to avoid modifying the device by accident).
NOTE
You can also make more radical changes to the patch structure in a device (adding or
deleting patches, groups or banks), see below. For example, this is useful if you expand
your MIDI device by adding extra storage media such as RAM cards.
Patch Structure
Patches are structured as follows:
• Banks are the main categories of sounds – typically patches, performances and
drums, as described above.
• Each bank can contain any number of groups, represented by folders in the list.
• The individual patches, performances or drum kits are represented by presets in the
list.
The Commands pop-up menu contains the following items:
Create Bank
Creates a new bank at the highest hierarchical level of the Patch Banks list. You
can rename this by clicking on it and typing a new name.
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 afterwards 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:
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 (e. g. 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.
