Chapter 7: Patch Librarian
89
Highlight a bank on the left side of the screen and the
presets that are contained within the bank show up on
the right side grid. The presets are numbered from 1 to
128, which correspond to the MIDI program change
values that recall each preset. For example (on the
previous image), a bank change of 0/0 and a program
change of 9 will recall the 70's E Grand preset. The
names of the presets will appear on the VAX77 screen
exactly as they do here in Patch Librarian. You can
rename a preset by clicking it in the grid and typing a
new name.
Add a new synth to the database
The easiest way to add a new synthesizer to the
database is to find the *.midnam file for that synth and
import it by clicking File, Import, MIDI name document.
There are a number of websites that post midnam files,
such as those supporting digital audio workstations as
well as the synth Manufacturer‟s site. If a midnam file is
not available you will have to add the synthesizer
manually as described below.
Select the Synth menu item to add or delete a synth or
to import a midnam file.
