Defining a new MIDI device
This section describes how to define 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.
1. In the MIDI Device Manager, click the Install Device button.
The Add MIDI Device dialog appears.
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 currently contains only an Empty Bank item.
5. Make sure the Enable Edit checkbox is activated.
Now you can use the functions on the Commands pop-up menu to the left to organize
the patch structure of the new device.
Patch Structure
A patch structure is made out of the following components:
• 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.
