- From the Window menu, choose
Advanced Tools. Click the MIDI
Tool
. The MIDI tool
menu appears.
- Double-click the measure in which you want
the patch to change. The MIDI tool split-window
appears.
- Drag through a small horizontal “slice” at
the beginning of the graph area, as shown. Keep in mind that the
actual patch change will occur at the beginning of the region you select. It really doesn’t matter,
therefore, how much of the window you highlight; the patch change will
be inserted at the far left edge of your highlighted region.
- Choose MIDI/Audio > Set To. The
Set To dialog box appears.
- Enter the appropriate Bank and Program numbers
you want the staff’s playback to switch to. Click OK (or press ENTER). You return to the MIDI tool split-window. Part of the graph area
is now black. That’s because you’ve just inserted a patch change that’s
in effect from the point you selected to the end of the piece. Repeat
the entire process at other points in the score where you want the patch
to change (for example, if you want the patch to change back to the original
patch).
To remove patch changes you’ve created in
this way, reselect the same region in the MIDI tool windows and press
BACKSPACE,
or use the Selection tool to clear Continuous Data.
