Pressing displays this screen:
The top line of this page contains a field which allows you to change the program currently
being edited. You may select different programs for editing here if you wish.
The parameters on this page are as follows:
This field allows you to set the program number of the program.
This is the number which will be called up on receipt of a MIDI
Program Change message and corresponds to a patch number
on a synthesiser.
This parameter selects the program's MIDI channel! The choice is
OM (omni) and 1 to 16.
This allows you to select how many notes (1 to 32) can be played
at a time by this particular program. This should normally be left at
the default, 32.
NOTE: This parameter should normally be set to the default of 32. Its inclusion here is
mostly for historical purposes. On the S1000/S1100 (and early versions of software for the
S2800, S3000 and S3200), it was common to use this parameter for hi-hats and the like
layered over a drums program (i.e. the hi-hats would be set to a polyphony of 1 voice so
that the closed hi-hat shut off the open hi-hat). With the MUTE GROUP function, however
(see later in this section), this parameter is not used so much but is retained should you
load an old S1000/S1100 or early S2800, S3000 or S3200 sound library disk.
See below for a description of the MUTE GROUP function.
This allows you to specify how notes will be 'stolen' by other
programs if this is necessary. There are four settings: LOW,
NORM, HIGH and HOLD. If a program is set to LOW priority, then
notes from this program will be stolen first. If set to HIGH, then
notes from other programs with lower priority will be stolen before
they are stolen from this program. NORM is, of course, normal
priority and, if any note stealing has to take place, this program will
be affected no more or less than others with NORM assignment.
If you are playing a complex piece of music using many programs,
it is a good idea to set important, lead-line sounds to HIGH, and
less important background programs to LOW.
HOLD is a special priority. If a program’s priority is set to HOLD,
notes from this program can only be stolen by the same program.
The notes which will be stolen are determined by this parameter -
either the OLDEST note will stop playing when a note is stolen or
the QUIETEST one.
