Use the Bank Select setting to select the
MD-1600's tone groups to be changed
by the Program Number message.
• Bank 0 — 0 to 127 (General MIDI
tones)
• Bank 1 — 128 to 159 (synthesized
tones)
• Bank 2 — 160 to 167 (drum sets)
• Bank 3 — 168 to 199 (user tones)
Just before sending a Program Change
message, send two Control Change
messages with this data to the MD-
1600:
• Control Number = 0, Control Value =
<bank number>
• Control Number = 32, Control Value
= 0
For example, to select tone number 190
(user tone number 22), enter:
• Control Number = 0, Control Value =
3 (bank number for user tone)
• Control Number = 32, Control Value
= 0
• Program Change = 22 (22nd tone in
bank 3)
Note: Channel 10 is reserved for drum
sounds only, so it is not necessary to
send bank select data when changing
tones.
RPN is used when combining multiple
control changes. RPN (100 and 101) se-
lects the parameter to control, and Data
Entry (6 and 38) sets the contents of the
parameter. On the MD-1600, RPN is
used to set pitch bend range, transpose,
and tune control from an external MIDI
device.
All Sound Off forces all sound on the
current channel to turn off, regardless of
how the sound is being produced.
All Notes Off turns off all note data sent
from an external device on the channel.
The notes being sustained by the pedal
continue to sound until the next pedal off
signal is received.
Reset All Controllers initializes pitch
bend and all other control changes.
System Exclusive controls fine tone
adjustments unique to a particular sys-
tem. Basically, the system exclusives
are unique to a particular system; how-
ever, there are "universal" system exclu-
sives that are common among devices
produced by individual manufacturers.
These are the system exclusive mes-
sages supported by this keyboard.
• GM Mode On ([F0][7E][7F][09]
[01][F7]) — used to turn on the MD-
1600's GM mode from an external
MIDI device.
Notes:
• GM (General MIDI) is a standard
list of specifications that allows
music created on one MIDI
device to sound the same when
played on another MIDI device.
This keyboard's GM mode incor-
porates most of these specifica-
tions.
