However, certain MIDI performance or recording scenarios may require the keyboard to send data on a different channel. You can change the channel on which data is sent using the following method: 1. -
Page 13: Bank Lsb And Bank Msb
Bank LSB and Bank MSB Program changes are the most commonly used messages to change instruments and voices However, the number of instruments accessible using only the program change MIDI command is limited to 128. Since some devices have more than 128 voices, they require a method to organize their large number of sounds into banks These devices then access the sounds within these banks by using program change messages. -

MIDI controller messages KeyRig 49 accepts controller numbers 0-131 Numbers beyond 127 are a proprietary method M-Audio uses to simplify the transmission of certain, otherwise more complicated multi-part MIDI messages. -

Page 16: Midi Messages In-Depth
KeyRIg 49 User Guide MIDI Messages In-Depth Program & Bank Changes When the MIDI standard was first established, it enabled the user to access only 128 different sounds using program change messages (0-127). As MIDI devices grew to be more sophisticated and contain more sounds, bank change messages were included in an updated MIDI specification to allow for more than 128 sounds to be accessed. -
Page 17: Nrpn/Rpns
KeyRIg 49 User Guide can in turn contain 128 possible sounds selected via a separate program change MIDI message. This enables a user to theoretically recall over two million programs directly, using only MIDI commands. However, most devices only use a few different banks, and allow you to access them with either a Bank LSB message or a Bank MSB message Please consult your synthesizer’s or software’s documentation for more information on which type of bank change messages they can process.”... -

Appendix A - General MIDI Instruments PLEASE NOTE: The following table lists all General MIDI patch names using numbers from 0 – 127. Be advised that some GM modules count their sound patches from 1 – 128 instead. Both methods are common. As a result, and depending on the sound module you use, there may be an offset of -1 between the sent program change number and the recalled sound patch. -

Page 23: Appendix C - Additional Rpn Messages
This is because messages 128 – 131 are a different type of MIDI message, defined in the MIDI Specification as RPN messages. M-Audio has created four messages that are sent like MIDI CCs, but actually transmit a series of RPN messages. -
