Copying Name Lists
You can easily create new lists that are similar to other lists. For example, suppose you want to
create a new patch name list called NewList that is almost identical to the General MIDI patch list,
but with one or two small changes. Here’s how you proceed:
• Create a new patch name list in the Patch Names folder of the Names tree called, for example,
NewList.
• Drag the new list onto the General MIDI list in the Names tree. You will be asked if you want to
base NewList on the General MIDI list.
To do this Do this
Create a new name list Duplicate an existing Patch Names or other list by doing one of the following:
expand the folder that contains the name list, highlight the name list and press
the Ins (Insert) key; highlight the folder and press SHIFT+INSERT; or right-click
any folder or name list and choose Add Names List from the menu.
Then type a name for the list and press ENTER.
Delete a name list Highlight the names list and press the DELETE key; or right-click on the name
list and choose Delete from the menu. You will see a warning if the list is used
by any instrument definition. If you delete the list anyway, the instrument
definition will change automatically.
Add the next item in a name
list
Highlight a name and press the Ins key, or right-click on a name and choose
Add Name from the menu. Then enter the name.
Add a name anywhere in a
list
Highlight the name of a list and press SHIFT+INSERT, or right-click on the
name of a list and choose Add Name from the menu. Then enter the name.
Delete names from a list Highlight the Names List or Name, and press DELETE. You can also right-click,
then choose Delete.
Edit a name in a list Highlight the name or name list and press F2, or right-click and choose Edit
from the menu. Then enter the new name.
