Work with patches in Edit mode
Select items in the Patch List
All of the patches and sets in a concert appear in the Patch List. To select an item in the Patch List
in Edit mode, you can click the item, use key commands, or type its patch number or the first few
letters of its name. The patch number appears to the left of the patch icon in the Patch List.
You can also skip patches or sets in the Patch List. When a patch or set is skipped, using the
Command key together with the arrow keys to select items passes over the patch or set and
the next (non-skipped) item is selected. However, you can still select the item by clicking it or
using the arrow keys alone. Skipped items are also skipped when you use the patch selector in
Perform mode.
