Decisions, decisions:

Banks and Programs

Sounds are selected for each Part with Bank and Program

Change commands. These are inserted into the ﬁ rst bar of

each sequencer track using the following three events:

Bank Change (MSB) Control 0

Bank Change (LSB)

Control 32

Program Change

As you can see, a combination of two event types is

employed: two MIDI controllers and a Program Change com-

mand. It is required that these three events are recorded in

this order. If further Program Changes are to occur after

these initial Bank and Program Changes, all that is required

is a PROGRAM CHANGE command.

If you are unsure as to how Bank and Program Changes

occur within your sequencer program, this might help:

Set your sequencer to Record/Start. Call up the CS1x

Preset Performance 001 at the keyboard. Now press the

PRESET key. Stop the sequencer, and call up the Edit mode.

Your event list should like something look this:

Event List / Bank and Program Changes

How should you interpret this diagram? Quite simple really:

you have recorded Bank and Program Changes for Preset

Performance 001. The ﬁ rst line calls up an MSB Value of 63

with Controller 0, the second sets a LSB Value of 64 using

Controller 32. The third line calls up Program 1 using a "Pro-

gram Change event". Be careful however: the Program

Change value has to be converted if the sequencer program

uses the MIDI norm for displaying them (= 0 – 127). This

means that choosing Program 63 at the keyboard would be

resolved as Program 62 in the sequencer's memory. The fol-

lowing examples and tables list the Program value per MIDI

norm in brackets.

The tables below give an overview of your YAMAHA syn-

thesizer's Bank sorted sound material.

The ﬁ rst row of the table lists the CS1x Bank Changes. The

remaining rows contain Bank Changes for Material Voice

Banks 00 – 12. All Material voices can be used as indepen-

dent sounds for Performance Parts 5 – 16, and then called

up using the above Bank Changes. Section " About the CS1x

Sound Structure" will give you a better insight into the system

used here.
