However, a problem exists when you load these sounds into memory in
that, for example, the STEREO PIANO sound you loaded could have
MIDI program number #1 and the ELECTRIC PIANO sound could be
program #6 (or they could be both program #1 or whatever depending
on where they were loaded from). In other words, in order for them to be
selected correctly via MIDI program change, you need to renumber them
to the correct MIDI program numbers.
However, another potential problem exists. You may renumber the stereo
piano and electric piano correctly but may find that other programs with
these numbers already exist in memory. To prevent a conflict in these
circumstances, other programs may need to be renumbered.
There is another problem too! The range of MIDI program numbers is 1-
128. However, it is possible to load many more programs than this into
the S6000’s memory and, theoretically, you may have hundreds of
programs loaded. However, there may only be a handful of programs
you need to change within a multi using MIDI program change.
The RENUMBER screen allows you to renumber those programs that
will be required to be changed via MIDI program change whilst switching
those that don’t to ignore such changes.
To renumber a program (or programs), move the cursor to the program
you want to renumber and use the DATA wheel to set the appropriate
number (or switch it to OFF).
Pressing RENUMBER 1-XXX will renumber all programs sequentially
1-128 (or whatever the upper limit is of the number of programs in
memory). The programs will be renumbered in the order in which they
appear in the list. If there are more than 128 programs in memory, any
above 128 will be renumbered to 128.
When you press RENUMBER 1-XXX, you will receive a prompt asking
you to confirm that you wish to proceed. Respond accordingly.
Pressing SET ALL TO OFF will (not surprisingly!) turn all programs
numbers off. This way, you can clear all program numbers so that it is
easier and clearer to renumber just those that will be affected by MIDI
program change.
When you press SET ALL TO OFF, you will receive a prompt asking you
to confirm that you wish to proceed. Respond accordingly.
