Receiving Program Changes

In order to recall programs on the MidiVerb 4 from a MIDI control device (keyboard,
drum pad, guitar or bass controller, sequencer, etc.):
Connect the control device's MIDI OUT to the MidiVerb 4's [MIDI IN].
Press [UTIL], then press the [EDIT/PAGE] button until page 3 is selected.
Press the [D] button to select the MIDI Program Change field.
Use the [VALUE] knob to select either OFF, On or tbL.
• When OFF, the MidiVerb 4 ignores incoming program change messages.
• When On, program changes received on the MIDI channel the MidiVerb 4 is
set to will recall the same numbered Program in the currently selected bank
• When set to tbL, you can use the Program Change Table to remap incoming
program change messages in order to select any MidiVerb 4 Program in
either the Preset or User bank (see next section).
Note: It is possible to select either the Preset or User bank via MIDI by sending a
Controller 0 message immediately followed by a program change message. A
Controller 0 with a value of 0 will select the Preset bank, while a value of 1 or higher
(up to 127) will select the User bank.

Program Change Table

The Program Change Table re-maps incoming program change messages so that they
recall MidiVerb 4 Programs of a different number. This is especially useful since MIDI
program changes only allow for 128 different programs to be recalled (0–127). Using
the Program Table, you can have any incoming MIDI program change message recall
any of the 256 Programs in the MidiVerb 4. Example: If you programmed the Table so
that program message 101 was mapped to Preset 33, sending a MIDI program change
message of 101 to the MidiVerb 4 would recall Program Preset 33.
To modify the Program Change Table:
Press [UTIL], then press the [EDIT/PAGE] button until page 5 is selected.
The display will look like this:
PAGE 1 2 3 4 5 6
Press the [C] button to select the MIDI Program Number field.
The MIDI Program Number field will flash to indicate it is selected for editing.
