Using Instrument Collections

In most applications, DLS instrument data is associated with bands and is downloaded to the synthesizer when the band is downloaded. For more information, see Using Bands.

For specialized DirectMusic applications that do their own DLS management, two steps must be taken: loading the instrument collection and downloading instrument data to a port.

These steps are covered in the following sections:

• Loading and Downloading Collections
• Working with Instruments
