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.
