Specifying instruments

1.Choose Send Program Changes from the MIDI Out button () menu. A check mark appears adjacent to the command to indicate that this option is turned on. If this option is turned off, patches cannot be switched.

2.From the Voice drop-down list, choose the new voice and click any key.

Note: Patch names are arranged as specified in the General MIDI Standard. For synthesizers not using the General MIDI convention, use the patch number instead of the instrument name.

Generating chords

You can also generate chords instead of single notes by choosing a chord structure from the keyboard’s Note/Chord drop-down list. Chords are generated using the specified note as the root of the chord or interval.
