Sending Bank Select MSB and LSB Messages
You can choose up to 128 types of tones from a connected MIDI sound device by using Program Change messages. With a MIDI
sound device that has more than 128 on-board tones, however, you need to send MIDI information called a "Bank Select
message" to specify the Tone Bank, then use a Program Change message to specify the number of the tone within the Bank. Using
Bank Select and Program Change messages, you can choose from and switch to a larger number of tones.
Bank Select messages are of two types: MSB and LSB.
The settings for MSB and LSB are both at "0" when the FP-9 is powered up.
