Sound Designer, and Pro Tools. These pro<strong>gr</strong>ams allow the user to manipulate sound file samples, but they<br />
do not use MIDI techniques to edit the sound file.<br />
Music Patch Editors work directly with the sound patches within a synthesizer. Patch editors are<br />
designed specifically for individual synthesizers because each company uses their own system exclusive<br />
information to create their pro<strong>gr</strong>ams. First the hexadecimal code F0 is used to identify the status byte of<br />
system exclusive. The status byte is followed by a data byte that identifies the manufacturer. All data bytes<br />
that follow pertain to MIDI information created by that particular manufacturer. At the end of the system<br />
exclusive message will be the hexadecimal code F7 end of exclusive command.<br />
Patch Editors allow the user to change the size of envelopes, types of filters, samples, waveforms, panning<br />
information, modulation effects and basically anything that changes the parameters of the patch. Each<br />
manufacturer uses different techniques to create sounds for the synthesizer so each Patch Editor must be<br />
designed for the specific synthesizer. Universal Patch Editors are pro<strong>gr</strong>ams that support many different<br />
MIDI devices. That way a user may by one pro<strong>gr</strong>am that will support their studio that has products from<br />
Roland, Yamaha, Korg or other manufactures.<br />
The example on the left is the Universal<br />
Patch Editor Galaxy. Here the user is able to<br />
make changes to the envelopes, original<br />
oscillators, filters and other effects.<br />

Patch Librarian software allows the user to organize their sounds, but<br />
they may not edit the sounds. Librarians are a <strong>gr</strong>eat way to create a bank<br />
of sounds for a specific composition or creating your top 64 or 128<br />
sounds.<br />
Sometimes a sound<br />
from one synthesizer<br />
may be layered with<br />
MIDI to another sound<br />
in a different<br />
synthesizer to create a<br />
new combined sound.<br />
The librarian will<br />
allow the user to move<br />
patches so the<br />
combination is on the<br />
same number.<br />
