E Using MIDI Messages to Select Sounds ..........0++.
You can use a MIDI keyboard or sequencer to select sounds or
drum sets for each part, as explained below.
By sending MIDI messages from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer,
you can remotely select the sound (Patch) for each Part. When
you press a sound selection button on a MIDI keyboard, a MIDI
message selecting a sound will be transmitted.
You can also use your sequencer to select M-GS64 sounds. You
can specify sounds by inputting the Bank number and the
Program number into your sequencer program, but be aware
that the way in which numbers are displayed may differ depend-
ing on your software. On the M-GS64, Bank numbers begin with
0, and Program numbers begin with 1.
Bank numbers correspond to MIDI Bank numbers, and Program
numbers correspond to MIDI Program numbers.
* MIDI Bank numbers have an upper (MSB) and lower (LSB)
part. Each can specify a number from 0 to 127, allowing you to
specify 128 x 128 = 16384 banks. The upper part of the Bank
number corresponds to the M-GS64 Bank number. The lower
part switches between Map 1 and Map 2 sounds. (MIDI
Implementation, p. 36).
* For the correspondence between the sound names and pro-
gram numbers of your MIDI keyboard, refer to the manual for
your MIDI keyboard.
* If you specify a sound number that the M-GS64 does not have,
the sound will not change. Refer to the Patch list on p. 25 when
selecting sounds.

Bank Select messages are a type of Contro] Change message .
For example, if you wish to select the Patch "Piano3w" at Bank
number 8, Program number 3, you would transmit the following
data to the M-GS64.
[Expressed in decimal notation]
1
The value of Control Change 0:
8 (Bank number 8)
2.
The value of Control Change 32:
0
3.
Program Change value:
2 (Program number 3)
[The example above can be expressed in hexadecimal as follows]
a
BnH 00H 08H
2.
BnH 20H 00H
3.
CnH 02H
*
H indicates that the value is expressed as a hexadecimal num-
ber. Decimal 32 is written as hexadecimal 20H.
*
n indicates the MIDI channel.
* Note that for MIDI channels and Program Change values, the
number is one less than the channel or Program number. For
example, if you wish to select a sound on the Part receiving
MIDI channel 4, n would be 3. If you wish to select Program
number 3, the value in step 3 would be 2.
# Using MIDI Messages to Select Drum Sets.........
You can select Drum Sets by transmitting MIDI Program Change
messages from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer, in the same way
as when selecting Patches. When a Program Change message is
received, the Drum Set will change. Transmit a Program Change
message on the channel being received by the Drum Part. At the
factory settings, Part 10 is the Drum Part (MIDI receive channel:
10). On the M-GS64, Drum Set numbers correspond to MIDI pro-
gram numbers.
* Set the note numbers of the rhythm data being played back to
match the note numbers of the M-GS64 Drum Set you are
using ( p. 31).
