RENUMBER This takes you to a new page where you may change the MIDI program
number of the programs. Pressing RENUMBER will show something
like this screen:
Programs may be given a number 1-128 or OFF.
MIDI program numbers are used in order to select programs within a
part remotely via MIDI. For example, you may have a stereo acoustic
piano sound in Part 2/MIDI channel 2 that you want to use in the verses
of a song but which you want to change to an electric piano sound in the
chorus. By issuing an appropriate MIDI program change command on
channel 2, you can achieve this and the two will swap over when you
want them to. For example, if STEREO PIANO is MIDI program number
#5 and ELECTRIC PIANO is MIDI program #12 - by issuing program
change commands #5 and #12 on MIDI channel 2 at the appropriate
moments in the song, you can switch between these sounds.
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 both be program #1 or OFF 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.
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.
