Renaming a Patch
When you add a patch, by default it takes the name of the channel strip added with it.
You can quickly rename patches to make it easier to identify and distinguish between
them.
To rename a patch:
1 Double-click the patch in the Patch List.
A field appears around the patch name, which is selected.
2 Type a new name in the patch name field.
For more information about editing and organizing patches, see “Working With Patches
in Edit Mode” on page 47.
Adding a Channel Strip to a Patch
You can add channel strips to a patch to create layered sounds and keyboard splits.
When you add a channel strip to a patch, you choose whether to add an audio or
software instrument channel strip. You can mix both types in a single patch.
To add a channel strip to a patch:
1 Make sure the patch is selected in the Patch List.
2 Click the Add Channel Strip button (+) in the upper-right corner of the Channel Strips
area.
The New Channel Strip dialog appears. You choose settings in the Channel Strip dialog
in the same way as when you add a patch.
3 In the New Channel Strip dialog, select the type of channel strip you want to create.
4 Choose the audio output for the channel strip from the Output pop-up menu.
Double-click the patch
name, then type
a new name.
