PChannel List

The left section of the Band Editor window contains a list of the PChannels in the band. PChannels are listed in order, from lowest to highest according to their channel number. You can use the PChannel list in three ways:

• Scroll through the list to view basic information about all PChannels in the band, such as a PChannel's name and instrument sound.
• Right-click a PChannel and click Properties on the shortcut menu, or double-click a PChannel, to open a PChannel Properties window and edit settings for the channel.
• Right-click the list to add or delete PChannels.

The following figure shows a PChannel list.

Settings in gray are inactive; that is, they will not affect the current properties of the PChannel when the band is played.

The PChannel settings are displayed in the following columns:

• PCh#

  Number of the channel. This value cannot be edited. See PChannel Number.

• PCh Name

  Name of the PChannel, used throughout the project. See PChannel Name.

• Instrument

  Instrument assigned to the PChannel by the band. See PChannel Instrument Assignment.

• Oct and Trans

  Settings for transposing the pitch. See PChannel Octave and Interval Transposition.

• Priority

  Rank of the channel used in determining which channels are dropped when not enough voices are available on the port. See PChannel Priority.
