Program Change Table Initialize - Yamaha V50 Authorized Product Manual

Settings
off, common, individual, direct TransFilter
Explanation
When program change messages are sent to the V50
from the internal sequencer or from an external device
via MIDI, this setting will determine how they are
received. Select one of the following.
off
Program change messages will be ignored.
common
In both single play mode and performance play mode,
when a program change on the basic receive channel
is received, the voice or performance specified by the
program change receive table will be selected.
individual
In performance play mode, when a program change
message is received on the receive channel of an in-
strument, the voice specified by the program change
receive table will be selected.
direct
In performance play mode, incoming program change
messages will directly select the voice for the instru-
ment with the corresponding receive channel. (The
program change table is ignored.)
TransFilter
Program changes recorded in the V50 sequencer differ
from ordinary program change messages, and actually
contain two program change signals. (The first signal
selects internal, card, or preset memory, and the
second signal is the actual voice number.)
This means that when the V50 sequencer is used
to select programs of an external device, an extra
program change message is transmitted.
If "TransFilter" is selected, the first program
change will be filtered out, and only the second will
be transmitted. For reception, this is the same as
individual.
The program change table is explained in the following
section.
When this function is set to "off", the V50 will
not transmit program change messages. Also, if the
device number is at any setting other than "off', the
V50 will transmit system exclusive data whenever a
program is changed, and will not transmit a program
change message.
If device number is "off" and program change
is at any setting other than "off", then a program
change message will be sent on the specified transmit
channel.

Note:
When "individual" is selected, program changes will
refer to the program change table, but if the program
change table entry is a performance number, it will
be ignored. (Only voices can be selected when "ind"
"individual" is selected.)

Explanation
When most MIDI instruments receive a program
change message, they select the voice of the same
number as the program change message. This means
that when several such MIDI instruments are con-
nected, their internal memories must be rearranged
so that each will select the desired voice in response
to a single program change message.
However, the V50 has a "program change table"
that allows you to specify which voice (or perform-
ance) is selected in response to each incoming program
change message. (When "direct" is selected, this
program change table is ignored.)
