Multi-Instrument window
Double-clicking a multi-instrument opens the Multi-Instrument window. It contains the following
areas:
•
Device Name and Short Device Name fields: At the top-left corner of the window, you can enter
the full name of the multi-instrument in the Device Name field. You can also enter a short
name for the multi-instrument in the Short Device Name field. This short name is used in the
main window track list, when the program name is displayed.
Depending on whether or not you have activated the subchannel’s Program parameter, the
following information appears in the track list of the Tracks area:
•
The name of the multi-instrument and channel number (if the parameter is not activated)
•
The short name, channel number, and program name (if the parameter is activated)
•
Program Names area: There are 128 program names in the Multi-Instrument window. A total of
15 banks of 128 program names is available. There are several ways to enter program names:
•
Double-click the name (via the text field).
•
Copy (via the Clipboard) from a different multi-instrument, or from a word-processing
program. The Clipboard functions for a whole sound bank are available in the Options
pop-up menu.
•
First, copy the program numbers or General MIDI names to the Clipboard, and add them to a
word-processing document.
•
You can then edit the names and copy the whole section back again.
•
If you want to use program numbers instead of names, choose Init Names as Numbers from
the Options pop-up menu.
•
If you want to use General MIDI program names, choose Init General MIDI Names. If the
Use GM Drum Program Names for Channel 10 checkbox, at the bottom of the window, is
activated, the standard GM drum set names are shown in the Program pop-up menu of the
inspector for subchannel 10.
If the Program box in the selected subchannel’s inspector has a checkmark in it, you can send
a program change message by selecting a program name in the Multi-Instrument window.
