The control data of the VOCAL/GUITAR section
must be received over the channel set on “Page 11:
Song Play Harmony” in the Disk/Global mode (see
page 143).
2 Load the song into the computer sequencer, and
put it onto playback.
The external sequencer controls the Start/Stop
functions. At this stage, the i40M will become a
simple expander.
Note: The i40M is a General MIDI compatible instru-
ment. If the song you are playing back is General
MIDI compatible, the correct sounds will be selected, if
not the sounds might not correspond. See the follow-
ing paragraph.
The programs
The song that is played back by the computer
sequencer can select the i40M programs through the
two MIDI messages Bank Select (bank selection) and
Program Change (program selection). The first column
in the chart indicates the Bank Select number, the sec-
ond column indicates the Program Change number,
and the third column the i40M selected program num-
ber.
In the i40M the Bank Select is represented by the Con-
trol Change message #00 with value 0 and by the Con-
trol Change message #32 with value from 0 to 4 (see
table above).
A suggestion for those who program songs on com-
puter: Even though it is not essential, you usually set
the bass on channel 2, melody on channel 4, drum kit
on channel 10, control of the i40M voice harmonizer on
channel 5.
Controlling another instrument with the i40M
You can use the i40M as an arrangement module for
other instruments. Connect a MIDI cable to the i40M
MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of an
expander or another keyboard.
As regards the sounds, if the controlled instrument
(“slave”) is General MIDI compatible, there will be no
problems with arrangements that only use General
MIDI programs (A and B banks).
If the slave is not General MIDI compatible, the name
of the i40M programs does not match the name of the
slave programs. You need to edit the i40M arrange-
ments, by assigning the program change number that
corresponds to the desired sound in the slave to the
tracks.
