Sending Program Change Messages To External Devices - Roland FR-3X V-Accordion Owner's Manual

FR-3x V-Accordion
Connecting to MIDI devices
Bellows TX Resolution
This parameter allows you to specify
how many data the FR-3x's bellows may
transmit for expression purposes.
Value 1~4
Default setting: 2
1: Represents the lowest (coarsest) bellows resolu-
tion.
2: Represents the normal bellows resolution.
3: Represents a high bellows resolution.
4: Represents the highest bellows resolution (double-
byte resolution).
NOTE
If the external sequencer you work with displays a "MIDI
buffer overflow" message, select a lower resolution. If your
sequencer accepts the complete data amount, use the "4"
setting, because it will lead to even more nuances being
captured.
Sending program change mes-
sages to external devices
Though each register or Set can transmit a program
change/bank select cluster when pressed, you can also
transmit sound select messages on the fly – without
changing registers on the FR-3x. These are MIDI mes-
sages that cause an external instrument or device to
select a different memory (i.e. another sound or effect).
This functionality is mainly intended for selecting set-
ting groups of various sounds on external instruments.
Such setting groups may be called "Performances" or
"Multis", which you may want to select while playing,
because using those multitimbral memories has the
advantage that all sound addresses and MIDI channels
are configured "automatically" simply by sending the
correct "PC" address from the FR-3x.
The "sound select" messages mentioned above are:
Program Change messages (PC)
Program change messages allow you to select up to
128 memories on a remote MIDI device.
Bank Select messages (CC00 and CC32)
Bank select messages are used to select sound banks
(if the receiving instrument contains several banks).
The FR-3x allows you to specify up to four bank select
message pairs (CC00 and CC32) that can be transmitted
by entering just one number.
The "bPc", "C00" and "C32" parameters are used to pre-
pare 4 memory banks (i.e. CC00 and CC32 pairs).

Parameters to set before transmitting a pro-
gram change message to an external device
Memory bank selection
As stated above, this parameter allows
you to specify which memory (1~4) you
wish to edit.
Value 1~4
Default setting: 1
Edit CC00
This parameter allows you to specify the
LSB bank address for the selected mem-
ory (bPC).
Value 0~127
Default setting: 0
NOTE
Be sure to choose the desired "bPC" memory (1~4) before
editing this parameter.
Edit CC32
This parameter allows you to specify the
MSB bank address for the selected mem-
ory (bPC).
Value 0~127
Default setting: 0
NOTE
Be sure to choose the desired "bPC" memory (1~4) before
editing this parameter.
Transmitting a program change message to an
external device
To transmit a program change message to an external
MIDI device, proceed as follows:
1.
Connect the FR-3x's MIDI socket to the MIDI
IN port of the module, synthesizer, etc., you
wish to control.
2.
Set the "MId" parameter (page 58) to "Out".
NOTE
"Out" is the default setting for "MId".
