If you want to make a selection from more than b)
128 programs, please use the following program
change procedure. In this case your programs will
be organized in banks, which can be selected with a
special MIDI instruction called BANK SELECT.
Here’s how it works:
The BANK SELECT instruction consists of two parts: one MSB
part and one LSB part.
The MSB part describes a value range comprising 128 different
values. On many devices this is the more important part of the
BANK SELECT instruction.
The LSB part describes each of the 128 MSBs using
128 additional single steps. In both cases the numbering is from
0 to127.
In total, the BANK SELECT instruction offers the enormous
value range of 128 x 128 = 16,384 different values. In theory,
this means that you could use external devices with as many
different banks. Considering the fact that each single bank
includes another 128 single programs, you get the unbelievably
large number of 2,097,152 programs for you to organize.
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.1)
Press the SINGLE key.2)
Release the ASSIGN button.3)
Now dene the SINGLE CHANNEL by entering a number 4)
from 1 to 16 using the number keys (as described in chapter
4.2.2). In order to assign the GLOBAL CHANNEL, please
press (0) instead.
Press the BANK MSB key. Press the number keys on the 5)
keyboard to enter the BANK MSB number of your choice.
Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher
values are ignored by the device. The BANK MSB is now
dened.
Examples:
- To enter MSB 14, press keys (1) and (4) .
- If you want to select MSB 107, press (1) , (0) and (7) .
Now dene the BANK LSB by pressing the BANK LSB key. 6)
Use the procedure described above to enter the BANK LSB
value (see step 5). The entry follows the same rules as were
described for the BANK MSB.
In steps 5 and 6 you have dened the bank from which the
desired program will be selected. Now dene the program
itself:
Press the PROGRAM key followed by the number keys on 7)
the keyboard to enter the program number of your choice.
Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher
values are ignored by the device. That’s all!
Conrm your selection with ENTER. To discard your assign-8)
ments either press the CANCEL key or the ASSIGN button
again. In either case, the ASSIGN LED goes out.
Example:
You want to use the UMX250 to select preset #49 in bank #25
on an external device over channel 14. Since the bank number of
sound modules is often smaller than 128, only the LSB is used to
dene the bank. The MSB is 0 in this case.
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.1)
Press the SINGLE key.2)
Release the ASSIGN button.3)
Dene the MIDI channel by pressing keys 4) (1) and (4) .
Press the BANK MSB key and then 5) (0) .
Press the BANK LSB key and then keys 6) (2) and (5) to select
bank #25.
Dene the program by pressing the PROGRAM key followed 7)
by keys (4) and (9) to select program #49.

keyboard to enter the preset number of your choice. Only
values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher values are

ments either press the CANCEL key or the ASSIGN button
again. In either case the ASSIGN LED goes out.
If you have not yet assigned an individual MIDI channel ◊
to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons (see Chapter 4.2.2), the
direct selection of programs always refers to the GLOBAL
CHANNEL!
As soon as you have assigned the direct program selection ◊
feature to one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons, pressing
both buttons simultaneously will do NOTHING at all!
