To renumber a program (or programs), move the cursor to the program
you want to renumber and use the DATA wheel to set the appropriate
number (or switch it to OFF). Once they have been renumbered, simply
leave the RENUMBER page - the new numbers will be set.
Pressing RENUMBER 1-XXX will renumber all programs sequentially
1-128 (or whatever the upper limit is of the number of programs in
memory). The programs will be renumbered in the order in which they
appear in the list. If there are more than 128 programs in memory, any
above 128 will be renumbered as 128.
When you press RENUMBER 1-XXX, you will receive a prompt asking
you to confirm that you wish to proceed. Respond accordingly.
Pressing SET ALL TO OFF will (not surprisingly!) turn all programs
numbers off. This way, you can clear all program numbers so that it is
easier and clearer to renumber just those that will be affected by MIDI
program change.
When you press SET ALL TO OFF, you will receive a prompt asking you
to confirm that you wish to proceed. Respond accordingly.
KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE
This scheme is far from foolproof and there are some problems associated with program
change. Some are unique to samplers whilst others are common to all sound modules. These
are listed here:
• If two programs share the same program number and you select that program number via
a MIDI program change command, the first program found will be selected.
• If several parts share the same MIDI channel and a program change command is sent on
that channel, all parts will select the one sound which will appear in all four parts.
• If a program is renumbered (perhaps because another program has that program number),
you will need to change the program change number on the sequencer.
• If SAVE MULTI+PROGS+SAMPS is used, programs ‘outside’ the multi that are intended
for remote selection via MIDI will not be saved and so it will be necessary to save these
separately (or to load them in separately next time you load the multi).
