Selecting Sounds on a Sound Module
(Sending Program Change / Bank Select Massages)
To select a sound on your MIDI sound module, transmit a Program Change in Program
Change mode.
To select a sound from a different bank, first use Bank mode to transmit a Bank Select message
that switches the bank. Then transmit a program change.
* You must send the Bank Select message before sending the Program Change message.
What is a bank?
MIDI sound modules organize their numerous sounds in various groups according to the category of
sound.
These groups are called "banks."
Program Change messages can only select sounds within the same bank, but by using these in
conjunction with Bank Select messages, you can select different variations of sound.
* The way in which sounds are organized will differ for each sound module. For details, refer to the owner's
manual of the sound module you are using.
