Program Names

There are 128 program names in the multi-instrument window. A total of 15 banks of

128 program names are available. There are several ways of entering the program

names:

• by double-clicking on the name (via the text input field),

• by copying (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 text import pull-down menu (downwards arrow at the top right). First, copy the

program numbers or General MIDI names to the Clipboard, and add them to a word

processor document. You can then edit the names and copy the whole section back

again.

• if you want to use program numbers instead of names, select Init Names as Numbers

from the text import menu.

• if you want to use General MIDI program names, select Init General MIDI Names.

If the Use GM Drum Names for Channel 10 box at the very bottom is checked, the

standard GM drum set names will be shown in the Prg pull-down menu of the

Parameter box for sub-channel 10.

If the Prg box in the selected sub-channel’s Parameter box is checked, you can send a

program change message by selecting a program name in the multi-instrument

window (either by clicking, or using your computer’s arrow keys).

Banks

On the left, above the program names, you can choose one of 15 available sound banks

(0 to 14) via a pull-down menu. The top item (“No Bank specified. Names of Bank 0

used.”) can be used if that particular sound generator does not understand bank select

messages, or only has 128 sound programs. Bank 0 is always initialized. The first time

you choose one of the banks numbered 1 to 14, you will be asked whether or not you

want to initialize this bank. Press Enter or Cancel if you don’t want to initialize the bank.

Non-initialized banks do not have their own program names, but use the names of the

equivalent program numbers from bank 0. You should only initialize additional banks if

you want to enter program names for those banks, because each initialized bank uses

more memory.
