Alternatively, you can use the MIDI Mixer port channel drop-down list to detach an
instrument.
Use the same menu to browse the local computer, removable drive, or network to
load an instrument.
Select another channel and continue to audition and load instruments. Once you
find you have filled all 16 channels, you can switch to another port and continue audi-
tioning and loading. You are no where near out of room for instruments. With up to
eight ports available you can have up to 128 channels of instruments loaded. The only
other limiting factor is the availabity of system resources. Remember to periodically un-
load unmapped instruments to free up your memory. By monitoring the status bar at
the bottom of the screen, you can see how many resources are still available at a glance.
Toggle off the Audition Mode button to load instruments on other chan-
nels. When Audition Mode is off, each subsequent double-click will load an
instrument to the next available port channel.
It is also possible to drag-and-drop an instrument directly to a port channel from ei-
ther the Instrument List or the Loaded Instrument List. Simply drag the instrument and
drop it on the port channel loader pane.
Each of these methods is effective and some
situations will call for different methods to
be used. Your experience and work habits will
ultimately dictate how you choose to load in-
struments.
