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