Setting The Patch Receive Channel; Setting The Program Change Receive Switch; Selecting Rs-50 Sounds From An External Midi Device - Roland RS-50 Owner's Manual

Setting the patch receive channel

When you have finished connecting the external MIDI device, match
RS-50's Receive channel with the external MIDI device's Transmit
channel. Here we will explain the settings for using the RS-50 in
Patch mode.
* If you are using the RS-50 in Performance mode, the part and channel
numbers will be the same unless you change the settings.
1. Press [SYSTEM] so it is lit.
2. Use PAGE/CURSOR [

Performing with an external MIDI device
Selecting RS-50 sounds from an
external MIDI device
Transmitting Bank Select (Controller Numbers 0 & 32) and Program
Change messages from the external MIDI device to the RS-50 allows
you to switch patches and rhythm sets.
1. Transmit a value for the Bank Select MSB (controller number
0) (BnH 00H mmH) message to the RS-50.
2. Transmit a value for the Bank Select LSB (controller number
32) (BnH 20H llH) message to the RS-50.
3. Transmit a Program Change (CnH ppH) to the RS-50.
n: MIDI channel number
mm, ll: Bank number
pp: Program number
The "Perform Ctrl Ch" (Performance Control Channel) setting
lets you switch performances in Performance mode. With the
factory settings, this is set to "OFF"; performances will not be
switched.
Bank number/program number
correspondence table
The MIDI messages transmitted by an external MIDI device
correspond with patches/rhythm sets on the RS-50 as shown in the
following table.
* If the Program numbers on your external MIDI device are referenced as
values from 0 to 127, find the appropriate number by subtracting 1
from the number in the following correspondence chart.
* When the RS-50 receives a Program Change message without receiving
the Bank Select, it switches to the patch or rhythm set with the same
Bank number as the currently selected patch or rhythm set.
For details on how numbers in the table correspond to the sound
of the RS-50, refer to "Patch list" (p. 111).
