Combination mode
Timbre 01 (Timbre Number):
Category (Timbre Program)
Here, you can select the program used by each timbre by
program category and sub-category. All programs are
organized into up to eighteen categories and eight sub-
categories.
Press this popup button to get the Category/Program Select
menu, then select the desired category and sub-category,
and finally select the desired program.
Category/Timbre Program Select menu:
Here you can select the program for each timbre by main
category and sub-category. All programs are classified into a
maximum of eighteen main categories, and each category is
classified into eight sub-categories. You can select programs
using these main categories and sub-categories.
• Press Category and use the Category/Timbre Program
Select menu to select a program.
For the procedure, please see "Category/Combination
Select menu:," above.
Program Select
Here, you can select the program used by each timbre. The
lower line displays part of the program name.
To switch the program of a timbre
• Choose Program Select, use numeric keys 0–9 to input
the program number, and press the ENTER switch.
• Choose Program Select and turn the VALUE dial,
VALUE slider or use the q/u switches.
• If the Program Select parameter is chosen, the PROG
BANK A–GM switches will switch program banks. (If
Timbre Program Select is selected, the BANK switch
LED of the program bank selected for that timbre will
light.)
• From the Bank/Program Select menu you can view and
select programs arranged by bank.
• From the Category/Program Select menu you can view
and select programs by category.
• You can choose a program by transmitting MIDI
program changes from a connected external MIDI
device.
When you select a Combination on the M50, a MIDI
program change for the selected combination number
will be transmitted on the global MIDI Channel
(Global 1–1a). At the same time, bank select, program
change, and volume (CC#7) messages will be
transmitted on the MIDI channel specified for each
timbre whose Status (Combi 3–1(2)c) is set to EXT or
EX2. However, these messages will not be transmitted
for timbres that are set to the same MIDI channel as the
global MIDI channel. In this case, EX2 timbres will
show the "Program" Bank as "–", and will transmit the
bank number that was specified in Bank Select (When
Status=EX2) (Combi 3–1(2)c).
When you play on the M50 keyboard and controllers,
MIDI messages are transmitted on the global MIDI
channel. At the same time, timbres whose Status is set
to EXT or EX2 will transmit the same messages on their
own MIDI channel.
If bank select and program change messages are
received on a MIDI channel that matches the MIDI
channel of a timbre whose Status is INT, the program of
that timbre will change. However if the MIDI channel
of the incoming message matches the global MIDI
82
[00...17/00...07]
[A...E: 000...127,
GM, g(1)...g(9), g(d): 001...128]
channel MIDI Channel, then the combination will
change.
If you do not want the combination to change, you can
either change the global MIDI channel to a MIDI
channel other than the channel on which the program
change messages are being received, or you can
uncheck Enable Combination Change (Global 1–2b).
You can also uncheck "Bank Change" so that only the
program number will change and the bank will remain
the same.
If you wish to change the program assigned to certain
timbres without changing the combination, you can
also set Enable Program Change (Combi 5–1–1(2)c) so
that the program will change on certain timbres but not
on others.
Bank/Timbre Program Select menu:
• Press the popup button located at the left of Program
Select, and choose a program from the Bank/Program
Select menu.

be soloed at a time. In this mode, pressing a Solo button
automatically disables any previous solos.
