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. Here’s how you
proceed:
• Create a new patch name list in the Patch Names folder of the Names tree
called, for example, NewList.
• Drag the new list onto the General MIDI list in the Names tree. 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 find the method used for your instrument, check the
instrument’s User’s Guide or the manufacturer’s web site. The four methods are as
follows:
Add a name anywhere in
a list
Highlight the name of a list and press Shift-Insert, or right-click
on the name of a list and choose Add Name from the menu.
Then enter the name.
Delete names from a list Highlight the Names List or Name, and press Del. You can
also right-click, then choose Delete.
Edit a name in a list Highlight the name or name list and press F2, or right-click
and choose Edit from the menu. Then enter the new name.
