This includes rewriting out all of the "you" language that was peppered throughout, fixing inconsistencies in layout, and removing <br>s wherever they were misused and unnecessary (which was quite a lot).

A <dfn>patch change</dfn> is Ardour's description for a combination
|
|
of MIDI program change and bank select messages, that (typically)
|
|
instruct a synthesizer or sampler to select a different sound to use
|
|
on a particular channel.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Patch changes are shown within MIDI regions as small rectangles or
|
|
<dfn>flags</dfn>, as shown below:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Inserting Patch Changes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ensure that the
|
|
<a href="@@edit-point-control">edit point</a> is
|
|
located where you want the patch change to be (within an existing
|
|
MIDI region). Context click, and from the MIDI region's context menu,
|
|
select <kbd class="menu">MIDI > Insert Patch Change</kbd>. A
|
|
dialog will appear allowing you to set the bank and program values.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Modifying Patch Changes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Context-clicking on a patch change will bring up the same dialog that
|
|
was used to create it, allowing you to modify the program and/or bank
|
|
numbers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also use the mouse wheel: <kbd class="mouse">⇑</kbd>/<kbd
|
|
class="mouse">⇓</kbd> on the patch change will alter the program
|
|
number, <kbd class="mouse mod1">⇑</kbd>/<kbd
|
|
class="mouse mod1">⇓</kbd> will modify the bank number.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Moving Patch Changes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Just <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd>-drag on the patch change to move it
|
|
around.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Removing Patch Changes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Put the mouse pointer into the rectangular area, and press <kbd>Del</kbd>
|
|
or use the delete mouse button operation. This will remove the patch change
|
|
(the operation can be undone).
|
|
