When a family is selected from this list, a submenu of instruments is displayed. Proceed to the next step.
The menu differs for PChannels reserved for percussion, as shown in the following figure.
For these channels, you assign an instrument family to the PChannel, and individual instruments are automatically assigned to notes.
To choose an instrument sound from a different DLS collection, click Other DLS. The Choose DLS Instrument Dialog Box is displayed.
When you choose an instrument sound that is included in a standard list of GM or GS sounds, the corresponding instrument sound in the default GM DLS collection is used. If playback for the PChannel is set to use a sound in a GM hardware playback device, the corresponding GM/GS sound in the hardware device is used.
Note A different menu is displayed if the PChannel you are editing is reserved for percussion instruments. For a list of reserved channels, see PChannel Number.
