Bank Mode - Kurzweil PC2R Musician's Manual

The function of this parameter depends on the setting of the Dest parameter. If the current
zone's setting for Dest is Local, the zone doesn't send a program-change command to the MIDI
Out port when you select the setup, even if Entry Transmit is set to On.

Bank Mode

Determines what type of bank-select message, if any, the zone sends when you select the setup.
A value of None prevents the zone from sending a bank-select message. If the value is 0, the
zone sends a MIDI 0 message, with a value equal to the ID of the current bank. If the value is 32,
the zone sends a MIDI 32 message with a value equal to the ID of the current bank. Values of 0
and 32 enable you to select banks numbered from 0–127.
If the value of Bank Mode is 0/32, the zone sends both MIDI 0 and MIDI 32, combined as a single
value. This enables you to select banks numbered from 0-16,383. Since many of today's MIDI
instruments respond to this form of bank-select message (as recommended by the MIDI
specification), 0/32 is the value of Bank Mode in each zone of the default setup.
There are two other values for Bank Mode: K2000 and K1000. These enable you to send bank-
select and program-change commands to older Kurzweil instruments, which use a different
system for numbering programs. The manuals for these instruments explain the numbering
system thoroughly.
The function of this parameter depends on the setting of the Dest parameter in the MIDI Xmit
menu. If the current zone's setting for Dest is Local, the zone doesn't send a bank-select
command to the MIDI Out port when you select the setup, regardless of the setting for Bank
Mode.
Program ID Display Format (PNumDisp)
This parameter is primarily a convenience for when you're sending MIDI to other instruments
or to a sequencer. If you're using the PC2R as a MIDI slave only, you won't need to edit this
parameter unless your MIDI source numbers its programs starting at 1 (the PC2R numbers its
programs and setups starting at 0).
Different MIDI instruments and sequencers refer to program numbers differently: some start
counting at 0, and others start at 1. Still others arrange them in groups of 8, with the first digit (or
letter) denoting the group, and the second digit denoting the number within the group.
PnumDisp lets you display program numbers in the same format as the receiving MIDI
equipment. It doesn't change the outgoing MIDI information in any way; it just makes it easier
for you select the desired programs on the receiving gear without having to convert the PC2R's
program ID into the receiving instrument's format.
