2.
3.
(MacOS Only: Alternatively, you can select the Input slot and then double-click the
name of the Program in the Catalog.)
The Program appears in the Input slot. If Auto-Load FX is turned on for the Mixer
Channel, then the Program's Effects will be loaded into the Insert Effect slots.
See "Auto-Load FX controls how Effects are loaded" below for more details.

5.
This opens the Program Edit window, as described on page 86.
The OASYS PCI uses "fixed voice allocation," which means that if you want to play
six-note chords on an electric piano sound, you must tell the system to reserve six
voices for the Patches within that Program. Conversely, the fewer voices you
reserve for one Program, the more that will be available for other Programs (or for
Effects).
