/ EDIT PROGRAM
The multi will now contain all programs of the same number and the
MIDI channels, levels, pan position, output assignments, tuning, etc.,
used in the ‘old’ multi/layer will automatically be set and the new format
multi should play pretty much the same as the original would on an S1000,
S3000 or whatever.
NOTE: The function is not foolproof. For example, you may load in an old S1000-style ‘multi’
numbered, say, #3. If any other programs with that number are already loaded, they too will be
converted in this process. As such, the function is best used in the RENUMBER page so that
you can see programs’ numbers. The RENUMBER function is described below.
RENUMBER This takes you to a new page where you may change the MIDI program
number of the programs. Pressing RENUMBER will show something
like this screen:
Programs may be given a number 1-128 or OFF.
MIDI program numbers are used in order to select programs within a
part remotely via MIDI. For example, you may have a stereo acoustic
piano sound in Part 2/MIDI channel 2 that you want to use in the verses
of a song but which you want to change to an electric piano sound in the
chorus. By issuing an appropriate MIDI program change command on
channel 2, you can achieve this and the two will swap over when you
want them to. For example, if STEREO PIANO is MIDI program number
#5 and ELECTRIC PIANO is MIDI program #12 - by issuing program
change commands #5 and #12 on MIDI channel 2 at the appropriate
moments in the song, you can switch between these sounds.
