Different devices react in different ways to Program Change messages.
For example, the DX7 will select Internal Voices 1-32 for Program
Changes 1-32 (display 11-48), and will select Cartridge Voices 1-32
for Program Changes 33-64 (display 51-88). See the owner's manual
for each device.

buttons. If you simply want to select programs from a certain bank of
8, there is a simpler way. Press and release | BANK HOLD}.

it down or you will enter ASSIGN mode.) The LCD will show a decimal
