Program Change; Bank Lsb And Bank Msb - M-Audio Keystation 49es User Manual

Program Change

Program Changes are used to change the instrument or voice you are using. For the sake of example, we will
change the instrument to a bass sound. To do this we need to send a program change of 32. There are two ways to
send a program change:
Incremental/Decremental Program Change:
1. Press the Advanced Functions button.
2. Press the black key representing PGM CHANGE.
3. Now the Octave "+" and "-" keys can be used to change the program.
4. Press "+" and continue to play notes until you find the instrument you want.
This method is useful if you want to cycle through different instruments to see which sounds best in your song.
Quick Select Program Change:
1. Press the Advanced Functions button.
2. Press the black key representing "PGM #."
3. Press keys "3," "2," "ENTER."
This method is useful if you want to select a specific number, as is the case here.
If the Octave "+" and "-" keys are selected to vary the Program number (Method 1), the LEDs above the buttons will
not change, since it is not possible to have a Program with a negative value. Pressing both the "+" and "-" buttons
together will recall Program 0, which selects a grand piano sound.

Bank LSB and Bank MSB

Program Changes are most commonly used to change instruments and voices. However, the number of instruments
accessible via Program Changes is limited to 128. Some devices have more than 128 voices and require a different
method to access these extra voices. Generally, these devices use Bank LSB and Bank MSB messages.
Incremental/Decremental Bank LSB and Bank MSB Changes:
1. Press the Advanced Functions button.
2. Press the black key representing "Bank LSB" or "Bank MSB", respectively.
3. Now the Octave "+" and "-" keys can be used to change the Bank LSB.
4. Press "+" and continue to play notes until you find the instrument you want.
Using the Quick Select Method:
1. Press the Advanced Functions button.
2. Press the black key representing "Bank LSB" or "Bank MSB," respectively.
3. Press keys "3," "2," "ENTER."
As with Program Change, if the Octave "+" and "-" keys are selected to vary the Bank LSB or MSB number (Method
1), the LEDs above the buttons will not change, since it is not possible to have a Bank with a negative value.
Pressing both the "+" and "-" buttons together will recall Bank 0.
Volume Slider Assignment
To assign the Volume Slider to an effect:
1. Press the Advanced Functions button to engage Edit Mode.
2. Press the black key representing "FADER."
3. Use the Numerical Data Entry keys to enter the number of the effect you want to assign to the Volume
Slider.
Alternatively, you can use the "+" and "-" buttons to change the value:
1. Press the Advanced Functions button to engage Edit Mode.
2. Press the black key representing "FADER."
3. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to change the value.
4. Press the ENTER key.
5. Move the Volume Slider upwards to increase the value of the effect.
If you have made an error while entering the numerical data value, you can press the "CANCEL" key to exit Edit
Mode without changing the effect assigned to the Volume Slider.
Note that each time the keyboard is turned off, the data assigned to the Volume Slider will be lost. Each time the
keyboard is powered up, the Volume Slider will be assigned to volume (effect number 07) by default.
