Program and bank change

You have three different options achieving a program change in external devices
with the UMX. This is a very powerful function, which will enable you to use the
full spectrum of all of your sound producers. Options a) and b) will allow you to
select any programs by means of a defined selection procedure, which always
has to be completed. The process is generally accelerated in the third option
c), so that you will be able to directly select programs by pressing the push-
button once.
a) If you are sure that you want to select from 128 different programs
, only, you will achieve the ASSIGN mode program change by the
following method. As soon as the quantity of 128 is exceeded,
however, you must apply the process described under paragraph b).
1) Press the ASSIGN push-button and hold it down.
2) Press one of the 16 white channel keys
on the keyboard. You have now defined the channel by which the
program change will be transmitted.
3) Release the ASSIGN push-button.
4) Press the
PROGRAM
5) Press the number keys in sequence until you have completely entered
the desired program number. Only value entries between 0 and 127 are
possible. Greater values are ignored by the device.
Examples:
• Press and
1
for example.
Press ,
•
1
program 127.
6) Press the ENTER key. In order to discard your assignments, please press
the CANCEL key or press the ASSIGN push button again. The ASSIGN LED
will go off in all 3 cases.
b) If you have more than 128 programs, you must apply the following
process to achieve a program change. In this case, your programs
will be organized in banks which are activated by a special MIDI
command: the BANK SELECT command. In the following section,
this command is briefly described. A brief introduction for this is
listed in the following:
The BANK SELECT command consists of two parts: an MSB part and an LSB part.
The MSB part describes a value range of 128 different values and is the more
important part of the DATA BASE SELECT command for many external devices.
The LSB part describes each of the 128 MSBs in another 128 individual stages.
Both are individually numbered from 0 to 127.
