RENUMBERING PROGRAMS
On the S3000XL, program numbers correspond to patch numbers on a synthesiser.
When a MIDI Program Change message is received, the appropriate program is selected.
However, to match S3000XL programs with the patch numbers on your synthesiser, you
may want to renumber the programs, so that selecting a brass sound on the S3000XL will
call up a similar (or complementary) patch on a remote synthesiser module. To do this,
press the key.
You will receive something like this screen display:
As the screen informs you on this page, you select the program to be renumbered using
the CURSOR keys and alter the current number to the new number using the DATA
control. You can also use the numeric keypad for this, setting the program number to a
value of between 1 and 128 (these are MIDI specification limits). When you have altered
the number, you have several options to choose from on soft keys 6, 7 and 8. These are:
This will set all programs to the same number as that set in the currently
selected program. For example, placing the cursor on 3 - BASS and
setting that to 1 would renumber all the programs to program number 1.
This is useful when you have loaded in a variety of sounds from different
disks or hard disk volumes and wish to sequence them multi-timbrally (see
later).
This causes all subsequent programs to be renumbered with an offset to
the currently selected program. For example, if you renumbered program
4 to 10, all subsequent programs (i.e. SYN BASS and others off the
screen) will be renumbered 11, 12, 13, etc.. whilst programs 1, 2 and 3
would be unaffected.
This will only renumber the currently selected program. All other programs
will be unaffected. You may also use this to renumber several programs in
one go. For example, change the programs accordingly (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
etc.) and then press (although the would be more appropriate
for this).
This will renumber all programs sequentially 1-? depending on how many
programs are in memory.
Once you are happy with the result of your renumbering, press to return you to the
main SINGLE screen display. Also, if you change your mind and do not wish to renumber
something now, simply leave the RNUM page without pressing F3, F4, F5 or F6.
