Switch on all settings in the View > MIDI Track Components menu of the Mixer, so you
can see all of the parameters described below. The basic channel Level, Pan, and Mute
controls are always shown on MIDI channel strips.
 Instrument Name: Displays the name of the instrument object assigned to the MIDI
channel strip.
 Program button: Allows you to select a sound by name—click it to open a menu that
contains all GM sound names. Each channel has its own menu.
 Bank fields: If your sound source “understands” bank select events, you can choose
the bank number for each of the MIDI channels. The lower value sends controller
value 32, and the upper value sends controller value 0; this is for MIDI instruments
that have 127 x 127 banks. You can use several different bank select formats (see
“
Defining Custom Bank Selects ” on page 887), if your device does not use the
standard controller 0/32 messages. Please remember that not all synthesizers
support bank select events.
 Assign 1 to 5: Choose to display up to five knobs that you can freely assign to any
MIDI controller number.
Adjusting the Level of a Channel
