neither is too big), then the two programs will blend during loading by a

1) Do both the loaded preset and the preset to be loaded use crossfade routing (e.g. single Fx block
preset)?
2) Is the crossfade time parameter set to a non-zero value?
3) Do enough processing resources exist to allow for a crossfade. Certain large presets are too
processor-intensive to support crossfading.

Loading Programs From MIDI

That's all fine, but get this: MIDI program change messages range from 1 to 128. The Eclipse's program
numbers range from 0 to 999. Those numbers don't jibe. There are two solutions to this problem: midi
maps, and bank select messages.
