MEMO
You can change the functions that are assigned to the [S1] [S2] buttons. For details, refer to
"Assigning Functions to the Knobs, Buttons, and Jacks" (p. 37).
To select sounds from a different bank, first transmit a Bank Select message, and then transmit a
Program Change message.
* Simply transmitting a Bank Select message will not make the sound change.
* The Bank Select message must be sent before 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.
