138 Version 1.21

EDIT PROGRAM /

However, a problem exists when you load these sounds into memory in

that, for example, the STEREO PIANO sound you loaded could have

MIDI program number #1 and the ELECTRIC PIANO sound could be

program #6 (or they could be both program #1 or whatever depending

on where they were loaded from). In other words, in order for them to be

selected correctly via MIDI program change, you need to renumber them

to the correct MIDI program numbers.

However, another potential problem exists. You may renumber the stereo

piano and electric piano correctly but may find that other programs with

these numbers already exist in memory. To prevent a conflict in these

circumstances, other programs may need to be renumbered.

There is another problem too! The range of MIDI program numbers is 1-

128. However, it is possible to load many more programs than this into

the S6000’s memory and, theoretically, you may have hundreds of

programs loaded. However, there may only be a handful of programs

you need to change within a multi using MIDI program change.

The RENUMBER screen allows you to renumber those programs that

will be required to be changed via MIDI program change whilst switching

those that don’t to ignore such changes.

To renumber a program (or programs), move the cursor to the program

you want to renumber and use the DATA wheel to set the appropriate

number (or switch it to OFF).

Pressing RENUMBER 1-XXX will renumber all programs sequentially

1-128 (or whatever the upper limit is of the number of programs in

memory). The programs will be renumbered in the order in which they

appear in the list. If there are more than 128 programs in memory, any

above 128 will be renumbered to 128.

When you press RENUMBER 1-XXX, you will receive a prompt asking

you to confirm that you wish to proceed. Respond accordingly.

Pressing SET ALL TO OFF will (not surprisingly!) turn all programs

numbers off. This way, you can clear all program numbers so that it is

easier and clearer to renumber just those that will be affected by MIDI

program change.

When you press SET ALL TO OFF, you will receive a prompt asking you

to confirm that you wish to proceed. Respond accordingly.
