Switching between favorites
The favorites on the Grandstage X can be switched using program change messages.
When you switch to a different favorite on the Grandstage X, a program change message correspond-
ing to that favorite number is transmitted. Conversely, when the Grandstage X receives said data, the
instrument switches to the corresponding favorite number.
Program Change [Cn, pp]
(n: channel, pp: up to 100 sounds can be selected using program numbers)
The favorites on the Grandstage X (1–01 through 10–10) can be switched using program change mes-
sages [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 63].
The instrument transmits and receives via the channel set in “MIDI ch” (the global MIDI channel),
regardless of the “MIDI ch mode” setting.
Sound control
Pitch bend
When you operate the pitch bend wheel on the Grandstage X, the pitch bend effect is applied and a
pitch bend change message is transmitted at the same time. When a pitch bend message is received,
pitch bend is applied to what you play.
The pitch bend range is set to a value that’s optimum for each program.
Pitch Bend Change [En, bb, mm]
(n: channel, bb: lower value, mm: higher value)
Control change messages
Control change messages are used to control the volume, sound and so on. The Grandstage X trans-
mits control change messages when you operate the modulation wheel, use the foot controllers and
so on. Also, when this instrument receives a control change message, various effects are applied
according to the control change number to which they are assigned.
Control Change Messages [Bn, cc, vv]
(n: channel, cc: control change number, vv: value)
The transmit and receive channels for pitch bend change and control change messages depend on
the “MIDI ch mode” setting.
→ MIDI ch Mode (MIDI channel mode)
• When “MIDI ch mode” is “Indiv.” (Individual)
Tip:
The CC#64 (damper pedal) can be set to transmit/receive off or on with the Damper Off/On program parame-
ter for each part. Similarly, you can transmit/receive a CC#80/81 (SW1/2) control message when SW1/SW2 are
toggled off/on; and set the Other Controls parameter to turn transmit/receive off/on for pitch bend messages,
CC#1 (modulation wheel) messages and control change messages for the foot switch and pedal.
How to use control change messages on the Grandstage X
There are 128 different control change messages (CC#0 through CC#127), and the effects and func-
tions for each CC message are defined by the MIDI standards.
Sound control: CC#0–95 and CC#102–119
Value and function control: CC#96–101
Sound generator operation and initialization: CC#120–127
Higher value Lower value Pitch bend value
Actual pitch (when the
pitch bend value = +2)
127 127 8191 +2
64 00 0 0
00 00 -8192 -2
