Documenting the program changes -Standard procedure

Hi Gurus1
I have a very general question which I am aware of but apart from documenting teh changes within the program in the start of the program , is there any other procedure  that is used to document the change ina  report or program that is more standard and which si available to all so that even apart from the programmers ppll accross know what are the changes that have been made to a report or a program or a transaction right from the begining so that a history is maintained and the time is available when the changes have been made to a program .
Similary is there a procedure to document the changes a querry goes through in its life cycle which can be documented in a correct way and a history maintained so that all can see what were thenchnages and when was it done and who did it and who requested it .
Actually iw as trying to find out if someone is currently using some systematic procedure to document all changes and in order and how they were doing so that I can apply that for my purpose too.
Thanks

Hi,
We maintain changes in following way.
When a new program is created, the programmer writes his name, date, object id and description.
and does coding now if some else wants to edit program he will add his change description on top of program right below original mod-log.
and all the changes made by him or under the comment structure.
like this
*begin of change <change id> by programmer id
changes
*end of change <change id> by programmer id
or for single line change
changes  " change <change id> by programmer id.
This way all the changes are documented in a quite clean manner.

  • What values do I enter in the program change field for EXS24 ?

    I am using YaMAHA WX5 WIND CONTROLLER to play instrument sin Logic. I can get 'next settings' and 'previuos settings' to work with cc values. However, because of the setup of the WX, it wouls work better for me if I coud use its program change buttons.
    What value should go in the program change box ?
    OPEn EXS24
    click edit
    navigate edit>preferences>select previous instrument or next instrument
    afer that what value will allow EXS24 to change instruments using my WX5.
    I have used MIDI monitor to find what value the WX sends and the only think that shows up is 'program'
    I have tried learn assignment in Logic. When I press the program change button, Logic reads it as program change but provides no value.
    Thanks

    any one?

  • I'm typing dates across the top row. I want the date to be 12/13 and the program changes it to Dec. 13. It is making me mad. How do I get it to stop doing the change? I want a numerical number.

    How do I get the numbers program to type a numerical date across the top row? It wants to change it to Dec. 13 instead of 12/13.

    Amy,
    I hope that you can forgive Numbers for converting the date you enter as 12/13 into the default format of "December 13, 2011", one that is popular with many users.
    You can change to any of the supported date formats by using the Cells Inspector, Date and Time options.
    Select the top row of cells and use the inspector to set the format. You may do this before or after making the entries.

  • How do i set program change messages to audio instruments?

    it doesnt appear in the info window like it does for midi instruments...
    Any ideas? Quite a lot of my reaktor instruments need program change messages, so im a bit stumped how to start working with my ideas.

    It can be done in the event editor. Open the event list of the region, select the pencil tool and click to the program change button. A new program change event will appear in the list. All you have to do now is setting the position and the desired program number (maybe you have to subtract one if your soft synth starts with program No.1 because MIDI standard starts with zero).

  • Sending Program Changes to external MIDI device

    Just getting started with MainStage, so excuse the basic question . . .
    I'd like to use MainStage with two main pieces of hardware – an Elektron Monomachine acting as the master clock and sequencer, and a Machinedrum, which is slaved to the Monomachine. I'm running MainStage to use a soft synth or two sequenced from the Monomachine, and for effects. So far so good.
    Patterns on the Machinedrum are selected externally with MIDI Program Changes. Conversely, when you select patterns on the Monomachine, it sends out a Program Change message so that you can lock the two machines together pattern-wise.
    In Layout mode, I drop in a rotary knob, hit the Learn button and change patterns three times on the Monomachine; the knob says Program Change and the number of the Program (all correct).
    Next, in the Patch editor, I map that screen control to Machinedrum > MIDI Controller > Program Change. If I turn the knob using the mouse, it changes the Program (pattern) on the Machinedrum (all correct).
    BUT . . . now (in either Edit or Perform mode) when I change the pattern on the Monomachine (sending a Program Change message), the knob doesn't move. I see the Program Change message being received by MainStage in the MIDI monitor, but it doesn't get routed to the screen control.
    What could I be doing wrong? Why does it respond correctly in Learn mode, but then not in Edit or Perform mode?

    Hi
    Could it be that MS thinks the incoming PC messages are intended to change MS patches?
    In Edit mode, select the Concert in the Patch list, and change the Program Change Device/channel etc in the Attributes Inspector to something other than the Mono

  • Can't make a selection of my pathes even if i have set a program change number for each one.Why is that happening?

    Hi everybody!
    I send program change messages from my midi controller and the messages are accepted by mainstage 3 as shown in the midi message window,but i can't make a selection of my pathes even if i have set a program change number for each patch.Why is that happening?
    I use a novation SL mki or a KORG Triton Le or a m-audio axiom 49 as midi controllers.The program change messages are transmitted by all the devices i mentioned above and shown as received in the midi messages window of mainstage 3.
    Has anyone the same experience?

    Hi
    Have you selected the correct device as the Program Change device and MIDI channel in the Concert Inspector?

  • How to send patch level program changes from concert level instruments?

    Heya,
    Here's the gist of my setup:
    I have two concert level external instrument channel strips (Nord Electro 3 and Prophet 8 module). I am attempting to change the bank on the Electro 3 on a per patch basis. It seems as if the concert level nature of the channel strip is overriding my ability to change on a per patch basis. I am sending out a program change on a certain patch, and it is being reflected in all of the other patches across the concert (this is expected behaviour from reading the manual).
    I've been looking for a way to manually send the program changes on a per patch basis (for these concert level strips), using some sort variation of the override parent setting, but I've been unsuccessful at finding a method for doing this. Is it even possible?
    The behaviour I'm looking to replicate is easily accomplished by manually creating the external instrument channel strip in each of the patches, and then sending out the appropriate program change message. This isn't a problem to do. It is, however, a tad bit cumbersome and sort of defeates the purpose (in my opinion) of having concert level channel strips.
    Any wisdom would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Nick

    As far as I know the only way to send program changes is to create channel strips in every patch. I don't use concert level channel strips for that reason.
    One of the advancements is that you can level your external instrument on patch level.
    Tip: create one patch with the channel strips you need and duplicate that one (CMD-D) to create new patches. Works faster for me.

  • Does noboby know!!! program changes in logic with kontakt3 instrument banks

    Hi all.
    im having real trouble understanding program changes from the events list in logic pro in conjunction with Kontakt 3.
    i have a region playing a bar of a violin legato then a bar of staccato then a bar of tremolo (just for example) using kontakt 3.
    i have created a new instrument bank in K3 and loaded violin legato on 001, staccato on 002 and tremolo on 003 of the K3 instrument slots.
    its from here that i just dont understand and find the logic manual useless as usual.... how can i get it to change??? firstly, nothing is selected in the program change events list... i havnt changed anything yet... fair enough but how can i write it in, so to speak, from this point??? it wont let me write any new number change and basically wont let me do anything.
    i messed aroud with this for hours without much luck and when i could get it to change it was giving me strange instument names like grand piano etc
    so i guess iv really missed somthing here
    any help??
    marc
    Mac OS X (10.5.5)

    I forget how to write them PG changes in, but what I do, is make a program change from your master keyboard while recording into Logic..Then go in and look at the note edit list to make sure it's correct. Change number if you need. The bank select always overwhelmed me, so I never dealt with that either.
    Another approach would be to create a 2nd patch in Kontakt, and have it respond to a different midi channel, then change the midi channel on your event list, or perform from master kbd that is set to appropriate midi channel

  • Feature request: Showing Program change # in addition to Patch & Set names

    Right now, MS2 is pretty much designed to step forward and backward through patches and sets. Although you do assign program change numbers to each patch and you can set a text box on screen to display the program number once you have selected the patch, it would be nice if we could add a third column in the Set - Patch selection module that also shows the program change #. Having this information displayed on the screen would give you a quick reference of the number that needed to be chosen to jump directly to a patch instead of relying on stepping forward or backwards to get to the patch you want to play. Right now, when I am configuring a concert, I load in previously used sets that included patches that will be played for that song. If we had this information displayed on the screen, we wouldn't have to worry about changing all the program #'s for each patch, since we could just use the same program # we assigned to the patch when we first created it.
    In fact, taking this approach one step further, we could view all of our user patches along with their respective program change numbers just like you can on a hardware sampler or synth.
    I don't know if this is something that could actually be done using text boxes or such that are connected to the program change number, but if someone has a suggested I would be interested.
    thanks

    Having a way to quickly renumber the program changes for the patches would certainly be helpful. However, what I am interested in is a way to display the program change number right along side the patch name in the patch / set list combo box. I know there is a way to display the program change number by itself that displays the currently selected patch, but that doesn't help me either (other than to verify that I have selected the right patch).
    What I am trying to do is to avoid having to change the program change numbers each time I set up a concert. I would like to create a patch, assign a specific program change number to it, and save it as is. Then when I build my concert, using Set's as placeholders for each song, I can see what the program change # is needed to change to a specific patch. This also means that I can assign that specific program change # in my pedal board so that whenever I use that patch in a Concert for a gig, I can call it up on my pedal board as well without having to change anything. I guess I can still save each patch with a unique program change # and then make a notation on my music what program change # I need to select on my pedal board, but it would be nice to have the pc #s displayed so I can just jump to it on the fly without having to previously know what the number is.
    (I am probably making this more complicated that it needs to be ...)
    Thanks

  • B4D  controller program change buttons and EVB3?

    Anybody using the B4D controller in Mainstage figure out how to get the program change buttons to work the presets on plugins? Also- how do I get the B4D drawbars to work the upper drawbars on the EVB3 instead of the lower drawbars which is what it's doing now? Much obliged

    I had the B4D for a drawbar controller. The Doepfer D3C with 2 racks is much better as a controller, imo or another hardware clone itself with at least 2 racks. I am a bit spoiled though with 4 racks on my new Hamichord with all the same B3-controls (as the B3) using the B4II though it can run the EVB3 as a controller
    Once you create your on-screen virtual drawbars they are assigned in the edit menu to the appropriate drawbar 16' 8' etc. You then can 'learn' (or should be able to) with the B4D after the on-screen drawbars are assigned. You could make a lower on-screen rack also and assign them. Using the lower drawbar button the the B4D - you should be able to learn those also so it works with the B4D controller.

  • Can I make MIDI program changes audible without an external device?

    I want to change patches in the middle of a track. I can put MIDI program change events into a track, but I can't hear them.

    do you mean to say that you have an audio instrument track in your arrange window and you've recorded a performance there, and you've recorded some program changes that are supposed to change the patch of the plugin, but they are not actually changing that patch?
    what is the instrument you're using?
    if this is a straight MIDI track, routed to an external device, what is that device?
    how did you input the program change?
    off the top of my head, i'm guessing this has to do with Program Change Banks . . .
    your post was very vague, and not many people will want to respond . . .

  • PCR-500 program change assign Mainstage 3 help

    I want to start using Mainstage 3 as part of my live synth setup.
    I'm mainly using 'non mainstage'  soft synths (TAL UNO 106/ Arturia prophet). Anyway, i'm trying to assign program change to buttons on my controller. eg A1-JUNO ORGAN    A2..JUNO LEAD   A3 PROPHET  etc.
    After assigning the the program changes to each button. If I then press the assigned button,..the preset will be there until i press it again. it will then jump and change the synth to the first default preset (whatever preset begins with the letter A)
    I don't seem to have this problem with the included Mainstage synths though. I don't have any problems with midi assigning in Kontakt using the PCR editor, granted i don;t use 'external' synths in Kontakt.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    thank you

    As long as you have correctlt assigned MIDI Program Change numbers to each Patch in MS, this ishould work correctly

    This sounds like the incoming Prgram Message is being treates as "unused" when you have already selected the MS Patch corresponding to that Program number.
    There is a function in MS 3 to allow"unused" program messages to be passed through to the plugins: try turning it off.
    Select the Concert at the top of the Patch List, and at the bottom of the Attributes Tab in the Concert Inspector you will see it:

  • Listen to program change on single midi port?

    Hi,
    I am trying to control MainStage via program change messages. Is there a way to make MainStage listen to program change messages only on a single midi port? It seems like MainStage switches patches no matter on what port or midi channel program changes arrive.
    Thanks
    Jens

    Yes, that would do the trick if I did not want to change MainStage patches remotely. I should have made clearer what my setup is and how I want to use MainStage:
    I have two ot three keyboards attached to my Mac via USB. When I change programs on one of them, a small application that I made myself recieves it and sends program changes to the other keyboards. It also loads MidiPipe setups that I use to route midi data to and from the two keyboards and to another sequenzer. So all keyboards need to be connected and program change messages have to be sent. My goal is to have that application also switch MainStage patches. Because I need to rearrange the patches in my 'master' keyboard frequently, I need to have MainStage respond to the program changes from my app and not to the ones that are sent from the keyboard, so that the right sounds are loaded indepently of what the order of patches in the keyboard is.
    But I think it just can't be done with MainStage that way. I think it should be a very basic thing for every midi application to choose where to recieve its data from. I thought maybe there is a hidden preference or something. But it seems like I have to wait for MainStage 2 because I need to have program change messages arrive at the computer. Maybe then it supports AppleScript to change patches this way.
    Thanks anyway

  • Live Program Changes

    Hi there all,
    im trying to build a live audio machine using my drum kit to trigger everything. does anyone know of a way of using a MIDI note on messages to triger a program change?
    ideally, what id like is to have a note, that each time you trigger, it moves the program for that channel up by one.
    if this isnt possible, can anyone suggest another way of controlling program changes without having to go into the event list...etc...? ideally some kind of human interface.
    thanks,

    Ok - if you're fairly green to the environment (pun intended! this is tricky, and caused me a little bit of head scratching. I'll document what I did, but remember my requirements for this may be different from yours.
    What I wanted to be able to do was program and bank change from notes on my keyboard when playing my XV5080 sound module, instead of having to reach over to the module and keep incrementing sounds. I wanted to bank change as well as the 5080 can have 40 or more banks of 128 patches.
    So, the way I have routed this is that it only works when my 5080 is selected on a track. If you want yours to be active at all times and for all instruments, you'll need to take a feed from the physical input object instead.
    This is what mine looks like:
    The "Select" transformer objects home in on the notes you want to use for the program and bank change inc/dec. The two faders are the key objects, as they hold the current bank change and program change number.
    The inc/dec buttons to the left of them send meta events to the faders in increment/decrement and handle wrapping around (ie if you are at 127 and you increment, the fader resets to 0).
    I had to route the output and do some stuff to preserve the custom bank changes my 5080 needs, but your needs will be simpler.
    Like I say, this isn't a trivial thing to do if you aren't that familiar with the environment. You need to use transformers to remove the notes you want from the MIDI stream (so the notes you are using for the program changes don't play notes themselves) and convert them into events that trigger increments and decrements of the program change fader, and then use that to output the program changes to where you want them to go.
    Give it a go, it's probably a good learning experience, and if you get stuck, bump this thread....

Maybe you are looking for
