The Program operating mode is where you can lis-
ten to individual Programs, and edit them.
To select a Program, see the "Basic operations" chapter.
In this mode, the selected Program can always be
played across the full keyboard range.
To automatically select the Program to be assigned
to the last selected track, keep the SHIFT button
pressed, and press the PROGRAM button.
Hint: This is useful to see the Bank Select/Program Change

ing format.
Note: Some manufacturers could use the 1–128 numbering
system; when connecting your Liverpool to an instrument of
this kind, increment the PC value by 1 unit.
Effects
In Program mode, the Program uses its own effects
instead of relying on A–D effects. Two effect processors
(FX1 and FX2) are available.
The MIDI channel
In Program mode, Liverpool receives and transmits on
the same channel of the Upper 1 track. If the Global
channel is assigned, notes can be received also on this
channel. See "Page 6 - MIDI IN Channels" on page 128
and "Page 10 - MIDI OUT Channels" on page 130 for
more information.

SOUND PROGRAMS AND DRUM PROGRAMS

Liverpool features two different kinds of Programs:
• Sound Programs. These are normal instrument
Programs, like pianos, strings, basses.
• Drum Programs. These are drum and percussion
kits, where each note of the keyboard is a different
percussive instrument. You can find Drum Pro-
grams in the DRUM KIT and USER DK banks.
Before pressing MENU to enter the edit environment,
you should select a Program of the type you wish to
edit or create.
Notes pointing to special Drum Program features are
marked by the icon.
