From the Tools menu, choose Program Map Editor to display the Program Map Editor dialog.
You can use the Program Map Editor dialog to create or edit program
maps for external MIDI devices. Program maps assign user-friendly names
to patches/programs so you don't have to use patch:bank messages.
When you use a program map, the device's name and program (patch) names
are displayed in the MIDI Output and Program
buttons in the track header and
on the Output Settings tab of the Track
Properties window.
From the Tools menu, choose
Program Map Editor
to display the Program Map Editor dialog.
Click the New
button
to create a new program map.
You'll be prompted to choose a file name and location where you want
to save the new map.
TIP Tips:
The
base file name will be used as the device name. For example, if you save
My Synth.xml, the device name will be My Synth. If you want to associate
a drum map with a program
map, be sure to use the same device name for both maps: when you select
a drum program for your synth on a MIDI track, the correct drum map will
be loaded automatically.
If you
want to create a program map based on an existing map, load a program
map and then click the Save As button to save a copy of the program map with a new name.

Acid, MIDI values range from 0-127. If your device uses 1-128, subtract
1 when editing the program.
