Copying Name Lists
You can easily create new lists that are similar to other lists. For
example, suppose you want to create a new patch name list called
NewList that is almost identical to the General MIDI patch list, but with
one or two small changes. HereÕs how you proceed:
¥ Create a new patch name list called NewList.
¥ Drag the new list branch onto the General MIDI branch. You will be
asked if you want to base NewList on the General MIDI list.
¥ Click OK. NewList will now be listed under the General MIDI
branch. Any patch names that exist in the General MIDI list apply
to NewList, too.
¥ Add new patch names to NewList. These names will override those
in the list on which NewList is based.
If you change your mind about NewList and want to make it a stand-
alone, separate list, simply drag it to the Patch Names root folder.
Assigning the Bank Select Method
Your synthesizer uses one of four bank select methods to switch back and
forth between banks of sounds. To Þnd the method used for your
instrument, check the instrumentÕs UserÕs Guide or the manufacturerÕs
web site. The four methods are as follows:
Method… Used for…
Normal Instruments that respond to Controller 0 or Controller 32
bank select messages
Controller 0 only Instruments that only respond to Controller 0 bank select
messages
Controller 32 only Instruments that only respond to Controller 32 bank
select messages
Patch 100..127 Instruments that let you change banks by sending patch
changes between 100 and 127
