Program Change
Program Changes are used to change the instrument or voice you are using. For example, you could use this
function to change the instrument to a bass sound. To do this, you need to send a program change message
of 32, which selects an acoustic bass sound from the General MIDI Instruments list in Appendix B, "General
MIDI instruments" on page 28.
You can send a program change by:
• Sending and Incremental or Decremental program change using the Octave/Data buttons in conjunction
with the "Data=Program" key, which lets you step through each program number in either direction. If
your MIDI hardware or software can receive MIDI Program changes, the buttons will increment or dec-
rement between 0 and 127
– or –
• Entering the program number using the numerical keys (0 - 9) in conjunction with the "PROGRAM" key
on your Keystation Mini 32.
Both methods are explained below:
To send Incremental or Decremental Program Change messages:
Press the Edit button to engage Edit Mode. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
1
Press the "Data=Program" key, which is the black key above F (F#, 3rd black key from the left).
2
The Edit Mode button will return to half brightness as soon as the "Data=Program" key has been pressed.
3
Press the Octave/Data "+" or "-" button to step upwards or downwards through the sounds while con-
4
tinuing to play notes, until you find the instrument you want to use.
