11. Use [+] and [-] to change the displayed Program
Change number (within the range of 1 to 128).
12. After making the setting, turn the PARAMETER
SELECT dial to "WRITE PATCH?", and press [+]
and [-] simultaneously to write the patch.
When you call up a patch for which the settings
described above have been made, the Bank Select
message and Program Change number set in steps 6
to 11 are used to call up a tone on the external MIDI
sound generator at the same time. (If you wish to
continue by specifying a tone called up together with
the external sound generator for another patch, you
can skip steps 3 and 4 above.)
If you're making a different setting for each string,
then in step 5 above, set the STRING SELECT knob to
any string-number position other than "ALL" (such
as 6-5, 6, 5, or the like), and use [+] and [-] to change
"PG.#," "#.0," and "#.32."
When making the MIDI "PG CHNG#" setting, using
[+] and [-] to change the Program Change number or
changes Control Change No. 0 or No. 32 causes MIDI
messages corresponding to the selected numbers to be
sent to the external MIDI sound generator as required,
and the setting results appear on the external MIDI
sound generator.
Also, if you move through the values quickly, such as by
holding down [+] or [-], the external sound generator
may overflow with MIDI messages and issue a corre-
sponding warning message (such as "MIDI Buffer
Full"). This does not occur when moving quickly
through the patches in the Play mode.

The setting "b.SL" (Bank Select) is common for both
sending and receiving, combinations of Bank Select and
Program Change messages from an external device can
be used to freely call up any of the 256 patches in the
unit when this setting is on and the GR-30 is receiving.
Preset patches (E11 through H84) can be called up with
Control Change No. 0 value "1" and the appropriate
Program Change message (1 through 128). Also, user
patches (A11 through D84) can be called up with
Control Change No. 0 value "0" and the appropriate
Program Change message (1 through 128).
The receiving-side correspondences for user patches are
also fixed and cannot be changed, even by overwriting
the Bank Select and Program Change messages being
sent.
If a MIDI foot controller such as the FC-200 or Boss FC-
50 is connected (p. 20), using the foot controller to
switch patches on the GR-30 causes Program Change
messages and the like written to the called-up patch for
the external MIDI sound generator to be sent from
MIDI OUT, making it possible to control all down-
stream devices as a group (except when MIDI Local
Control is off → p. 78).
