Sending Tone Change Messages (Program Change/Bank Select Msb/Bank Select Lsb); Sending Recorded Performance Data To A Midi Device (Composer Midi Out) - Roland RG-3M Owner's Manual

Chapter 7. Connecting External Devices
■ Sending Tone Change Messages (Program
Change/Bank Select MSB/Bank Select LSB)
A Program Change is a message that means "change to the
Tone of the specified number." The device that receives this
changes to the Tone of the corresponding number.
When you choose a Program Change message (Program
Number), the Program Number will be transmitted to the
MIDI device connected to the RG-3M.
The MIDI device that receives the Program Number changes
the tone to the corresponding Program Number.
Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones available.
Some MIDI devices, however, have more than 128 Tones.
With such devices, the Tone is selected through a
combination of Program Change messages and Bank Select
messages. There are two parts of a Bank Select message: the
MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127) and the LSB
(Controller 32, with a value of 0–127).
* Some MIDI instruments can't handle Bank Select messages.
Others can handle Bank Selects, but do not recognize the LSB
part.

■ Sending Recorded Performance Data
to a MIDI Device (Composer MIDI Out)
When Composer MIDI Out is active, you can send
performance data recorded with the RG-3M to a connected
MIDI device or computer.
When you turn on the power, this is set to "Off" (data is not
sent).
If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the RG-
3M to an external MIDI device or computer, turn this setting
"On." If this is "Off," the data will not be transmitted.
