If the MIDI channel is set to All, you can edit the parameters of the whole multi
instrument. A useful facility for globally changing the MIDI port, for example.
Adjusting the Sound of a Track
The Program, Volume, and Pan parameters transmit program changes, volume
controllers (#7) and pan controllers (#10) respectively.
If the respective box is unchecked, the default value of the MIDI device itself is used.
The corresponding value is only transmitted if you place a check in the box, by clicking
in it. If the box is already checked, any value changes are transmitted immediately.
A program change may be selected on the right, via a pull-down menu. Volume and
panorama are set by using the mouse as a slider. Control-clicking just above or below
any current value increases or decreases it.
To the left of the program number, there is an extra parameter which is used for Bank
Select. If your sound source can receive Bank Select messages (MIDI controller #0 or
#32—check your synth manual for format details), you can switch between different
banks, each containing a maximum of 128 sounds.
As many devices cannot receive these messages, you can deactivate this parameter by
making the setting shown here.
For more on the other instrument parameters, take a look at the descriptions in the
Standard Instrument section (see “Standard Instrument” on page 163).
Recording Program Changes, Volume, or Pan Controllers
Any of the listed event types available in the Instrument’s Object Parameter box can
also be stored when in Record mode.
As an example, in Record-Pause mode, you can store program changes at
specific positions in the following way:
1 Deactivate the Program (or Volume/Pan) checkbox.
2 Click on the Pause button in the Transport bar.
