Patch
A track's patch and bank determine what sound will be heard. Each port and channel can be using only one sound (or patch) at a time. So, to get different sounds on different tracks, those tracks must each be on separate ports and channels.
Note that changing the bank or patch for a track also changes the bank and patch for all tracks that are set to the same MIDI channel, since a single MIDI channel can only be set to one particular bank and patch at a time.
Left double click or press Enter to select from a list of available patches or press Ctrl+Enter to type in a patch number.
Tip: You can press the + and - keys on the numeric keypad to increment and decrement one patch at a time. The [ and ] keys increment and decrement 10 patches at a time.
Choosing Patches
The choose patch dialog allows you to select from a list of available patches available for the track's port and channel.
