A merge function? > Cheers > Bob Mike Taylor gave you one way, but another is simply to create a new program in the editor, then open the editors for all four programs you want to combine. Then Select All in each of the four and paste everything into the new program. Set the zone limit for each Group that gets created, save the new combined program, and you're done. You can also switch between the four (or five, or 25) Groups using keyswitches, controllers, velocity, or anything else just by setting the zone parameters.
