Section 2 — System Control
EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual
• Program changes 1-8 will Deselect Instruments 1-8 (yellow LED will return to
red), if received by an instrument which is already selected.
• Program changes 9-16 will Stack Instruments 1-8 (yellow LED will flash).
• Also, program changes 17-24 will select Performance Presets 1-8 (see Section
3—Instruments and Banks).
If the MIDI IN MODE = MULTI or MONO B, incoming program
changes are used to load instruments into Instrument•Track locations and to enter
and exit directories. To load a given file into an Instrument•Track location you
send the EPS-16 PLUS a program change which is the file number +1. When
a program change is received, the EPS-16 PLUS will load the appropriate file
from the currently selected storage device (FLOPPY, SCSI 1-7, or FLASH).
Note: Program change 1 has a special function, which is to EXIT TO the previous
directory. This is particularly useful for moving around a SCSI Hard Drive from
a remote device.
When this is ON, a remote sequencer or drum machine can be instructed to select
a new song whenever you load a new song into the EPS-16 PLUS (the default is
ON).
Whenever there is a song in memory, MIDI song select numbers can be assigned
as follows:
• Press Command, then Seq•Song. Scroll to SEQUENCER
INFORMATION.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display reads MIDI SONG SELECT=##.
• Select MIDI song numbers 0 through 127. When set to 0 this parameter is
effectively turned off.
Each MIDI controller on a synthesizer or sampler (breath controller, mod wheel
or pressure, for example) has a standardized MIDI number which is the number
you select to make a particular controller affect the Wavesample parameters which
can be modulated. One of the modulators that can be selected to modulate
Wavesample pitch, volume, filter frequency, etc. is XCTRL (external controller).
Suppose you are driving the EPS-16 PLUS from a keyboard with a breath
controller. You can set up a Wavesample on the EPS-16 PLUS where the filter
cutoff frequency, or some other manual level, is modulated by XCTRL. Then
assign this parameter a value of XCTRL= 02. The breath controller will now
modulate the filter, or whatever, on this Wavesample. The chart below lists the
accepted MIDI controller numbers.
