RENUMBERING PROGRAMS
There will often be occasions when you load in several programs, maybe from different disks
and the programs you have loaded have the same program numbers or the numbers of the
programs you have loaded are not well ordered, etc.. To overcome this, F7 in the MULTI
screen ( ) takes you to the RENUMBER page:
In this example, you have loaded a variety of programs some of which have the same program
number, others of which are non-sequential. Ordinarily, this is not a problem and you can set
up a multi very easily without even having to think about program numbers. However, in the
MULTI mode, you can send program change commands over MIDI on selected channels to
select new programs within one part (for example, send a MIDI program change command on
MIDI channel 5 to select a new program in Part 5). If programs share the same program number,
you will have a conflict (for example, send a MIDI program change command 1 where two
programs share the program number 1 as in the above example, and only the first of the
programs - i.e. BIG STRINGS - would be selected).
To overcome this, use the RNUM page to renumber programs so that they are better organised
for your use.
Select the program to be renumbered using the CURSOR keys and alter the current number to
the new number using the DATA control. Set the program number to a value of between 1 and
128 (these are MIDI specification limits). When you have altered the number, you have several
options to choose from on soft keys 1, 2 and 3. These are:
This will set all programs to the same number as that set in the currently
selected program. For example, placing the cursor on 4 - SYNTH BASS and
setting that to 1 would renumber all the programs to program number 1.
NOTE: There is little benefit to be had doing this in MULTI mode.
This causes all subsequent programs to be renumbered with an offset to the
currently selected program. In the example given above, if you moved the
cursor to program 4 (SYNTH BASS) and renumbered it to 10, SYNTH BASS
will be renumbered to 10 and all subsequent programs (i.e. SLAP BASS and
any others off the screen) will be renumbered 11, 12, 13, etc.. The programs
lower than 10 would be unaffected.
This will only renumber the currently selected program. To specifically
renumber a program, use the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys to select the program
you wish to renumber, set the new number using the DATA wheel and press
. Only that program will be renumbered.
