Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Unfortunately I cannot see any indications of instrument names anywhere in
the GUI. I've looked at both the Instrument Parameters box and the
two levels of nested menus that appear when I click the right-hand
mouse-button on the label area:
_____________________________
| Menu Level 1 |
| | ______________________________
| MIDI soundcard synth --------------> | Nested Menu Level 2 |
| MIDI soundcard synth #2 | | |
| MIDI soundcard synth #3 | | MIDI soundcard synth #1 |
| MIDI soundcard synth #4 | | MIDI soundcard synth #2 |
| MIDI external device | | MIDI soundcard synth #3 |
| MIDI external device 2 | | MIDI soundcard synth #4 |
| MIDI external device 3 | | MIDI soundcard synth #5 |
| MIDI external device 4 | | MIDI soundcard synth #6 |
| MIDI external device 5 | | MIDI soundcard synth #7 |
| MIDI external device 6 | | MIDI soundcard synth #8 |
| MIDI output system device | | MIDI soundcard synth #9 |
| Anonymous MIDI device 1 | | MIDI soundcard synth #10[D] |
| MIDI software device | | MIDI soundcard synth #11 |
---------------------------- | MIDI soundcard synth #12 |
| MIDI soundcard synth #13 |
| MIDI soundcard synth #14 |
| MIDI soundcard synth #15 |
| MIDI soundcard synth #16 |
------------------------------
Every menu item in menu 1 seems to trigger a nested menu whose contents
are very similar to the nested menu example above. The menu items in
each nested menu are identical to the menu item in the level 1 menu
except they each have a different number from 1 to 16 appended to them
as in the example nested menu above.
-Segment Parameters----------------------------------------
| |
| Label "MIDI soundcard synth #1 (recorded)" [button] |
| Repeat [toggle box] |
| Quantize [pulldown menu - "Off" ] |
| Transpose [pulldown menu - "0" ] |
| Delay [pulldown menu - "0" ] |
| Color [[green square] "Default Color" ] |
-----------------------------------------------------------
-Instrument Parameters------------------------------------
| |
| MIDI soundcard synth #1 |
| [65:0 Emu10k1 Port 0] |
| Channel [pulldown menu - "1" ] |
| Percussion [toggle box] |
| Bank [toggle box] [greyed out pulldown menu] |
| Program [toggle box] [greyed out pulldown menu] |
| |
| [rotary control] Pan [rotary control] Chorus |
| [rotary control] Volume [rotary control] Reverb |
| [rotary control] Sustain [rotary control] Expression |
| |
----------------------------------------------------------
What are the two menus meant to do?
Where are the instrument names?

I cannot use it because the Program pulldown menu is greyed out, even after I
click to enable it in the Program toggle box.

I get nothing like that image. My track labels all remain as "<untitled>"
(I know I could edit them manually by double-clicking on each label but
I imagine that's not how you arrived at your results).
