MIDI Bank Mode (BankMode)
The BankMode you choose determines how bank numbers will be sent over MIDI when the
setup is selected, and in what format. It also affects how many MIDI banks and programs you
can choose.
None means no bank number is sent, just the program number. Ctl 0 means that the bank
number is sent as a MIDI Controller #0 message. Ctl 32 means it is sent as MIDI Controller #32.
Ctl 0/32 means it is sent as a dual‐controller (two‐byte) message, with the most‐significant byte
(MSB) of the bank number sent as Controller 0 and the least‐significant byte (LSB) as Controller
32. Bank Select messages allow you to specify banks numbered 0‐127.
The MIDI Specification is a little ambiguous when it comes to Bank Select messages, as to
whether they should be only Controller 0, only Controller 32, or both Controllers sent as a pair.
Different manufacturers design their instruments to respond to different schemes, and if you
send Bank Select in a form an instrument doesn't like, it may ignore it or interpret it incorrectly.
The BankMode parameter is designed to allow the greatest flexibility in addressing other MIDI
instruments. Usually you can look on the MIDI Implementation chart in the user's manual of an
instrument to determine how it's designed to receive Bank Select messages, and then set
BankMode for each zone to suit the instrument that is receiving data from it. The default setting,
which works with the largest number of other instruments, is Ctl 0/32.
A BankMode value of K2600 is intended for use with the K2000, K2500, or K2600. The Bank
Select message is sent as Controller 32, with a value between 0 and 127. The K2000, K2500, and
K2600 support only 10 banks, with 99 programs per bank, so Program Changes 100 or higher are
sent as Bank Select 1, followed by the last two digits as a Program Change. For example, if
Program 124 is assigned to the zone, this will be sent out the MIDI Out port as Bank Select
(Controller 32) 1, and then Program Change 24.
Entry Program Change (EntryProgChg)
This parameter enables or disables bank and program change commands sent to internal
programs or to the MIDI Out jack when you select setups. If it's set to On, the program numbers
for the programs in the 16 zones will be sent via MIDI when a setup is selected. By setting this
parameter to Off, you can select a setup on the PC3K without changing the internal programs or
those on MIDI devices receiving from the PC3K. This is useful if you want to send only
controller data to the PC3K or to MIDI devices, without changing program assignments.
Arpeggiator
The Arpeggiator parameter determines whether the Arpeggiator will affect notes played in the
current zone. The Arpeggiator affects only those zones that have this parameter set to a value of
On.
For any given zone, the Arpeggiator plays notes only within that zone's Key Range. If the
Arpeggiator, for example, tries to play a C
note will not sound. However, another zone whose Key Range ends at C5 will be able to play the
#
C
4 from the Arpeggiator. Therefore, setting a zone's Key Range can be important in deciding
how it will respond to the Arpeggiator. The LoKey and HiKey parameters on the
ARPEGGIATOR 2 page (see page 7‐50) determine whether the notes you play get arpeggiated.
