MIDI Setups Mode

Sending a MIDI Program Change

Sending a MIDI Program Change
You can send a MIDI Program Change from Play mode using the same procedure that
was described for Internal Voices mode on page 3-4. In MIDI Setups mode however
you will need to specify which zone the program change is for. When the MIDI Prog
Chg button is Þrst pressed, Zone L is selected initially and its LED will be blinking.
You can press the Play/Edit button to swap to Zone R at any time during number
entry. Then when you press Enter, the program change will be sent on the MIDI
channel associated with the zone that is blinking at the time.

Parameter Summary

Here is a detailed summary of all of the setup parameters. With a few exceptions, each
can have a different value in each zone. Although most parameters are the same for
Internal Voices mode and MIDI Setups mode, for those that differ the descriptions
here are for MIDI Setups mode.

Internal Sound

1-32 and Off
This speciÞes the internal sound to be used by this MIDI Setup. This parameter applies
to both zones so both Zone LEDs will be on when it is selected. That means that notes
from both zones will play the same internal sound. You can change this action and
prevent a zone from playing the internal sound by setting the Destination parameter
for that zone to MID.

MIDI Program

1-128 and Off
MIDI Program Change number sent whenever selecting (changing to) this MIDI Setup.
Off means do not send a program change. The program change is sent on the MIDI
channel associated with this zone.

MIDI Bank Sel Lo, MIDI Bank Sel Hi

0-127 and Off
MIDI Bank Select number(s) sent in conjunction with MIDI Program Change to
further specify the program desired. Some external sound modules and synthesizers
use only Bank Select Low (often called MIDI 0) while others use only Bank Select High
(MIDI 32). Many use both while older or simpler modules have fewer than 128 sounds
and so do not need Bank Select. Using appropriate combinations of speciÞc values and
Off you can accommodate all of these variations but youÕll need to consult the external
deviceÕs manual to Þnd out what is required. Note that when both Bank Select
numbers are speciÞed, Bank Sel Hi is sent Þrst.

MIDI Channel

1-16 and Off
SpeciÞes which MIDI channel to send on for this zone. No MIDI signals are sent from
the zone if the value is Off.
