eral Control page, and select the same MIDI Setup assigned to

Selecting SongBook entries via MIDI
When you are ready to remotely select SongBook entries, switch
to the Style Play or Song Play mode.
At this point, Pa500 must receive on the special Control channel
the NRPN Control Change messages #99 (MSB, with value 2)
and #98 (LSB, with value 64) in fast succession, as an initializa-
tion string. This string must be sent only once, unless another
NRPN control is sent on the same MIDI channel before selecting
a different SongBook entry.
After the initialization string has been sent, you must send the
selection string, made of two Control Change messages: CC#06
(Data Entry MSB) for the thousands and hundreds, and CC#38
(Data Entry LSB) for the tens and units. The range of the Data
Entry controls, in this case, is 0~99 (instead of the typical
0~127).
The following examples show some typical situations.
• Send the following string to select SongBook entry #77:
• Send the following string to select SongBook entry #100:
• Send the following string to select SongBook entry #2563:
