Dialog box reference ► Define Instruments and Names dialog

Define Instruments and Names dialog

Use the Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Instruments command, then click the Define button to open the Define Instruments and Names dialog box.

The Define Instruments and Names dialog box contains two trees:

The Instruments Tree

The Instruments tree occupies the left side of the dialog box and lists all defined instruments and their characteristics

The Names Tree

The Names tree shows all the resources you use to define an instrument.

To define an instrument, you drag resources from the Names tree to the appropriate branches on the Instruments tree. Each resource is color-coded—for example, you can only drag a Names list to an Instrument tree branch of the same color.
