Equipped with software that enables the user to create new sounds or other assignments by altering parameter settings and storing the new settings in memory An individual control parameter is said to be programmable if its setting can be stored separately with each individual patch
Pertaining to a device that can accept instructions that alter its basic functions
A programmable machine can be programmed, so that for example it will switch on and off automatically or do things in a particular order. Most CD-players are programmable. able to be controlled by a computer or electronic program

This word has been appropriated by so many special interests that it has ceased to be much more than punctuation It carries the general sense of "configurable by means of volatile data " More specifically, "programmable" can refer to a CPU-based system programmed by creating microprocessor code, or to a state machine programmed by defining the state transitions (probably the original meaning, from relay-based control systems) or to "programmable logic" whose function and topology are determined by external data (either only once, or at power-up, or at any time) Untangling exactly what is meant in a given context can be challenging See "software-defined radio "
