Korg SP-300 - Program Change

28 Chapter 5
Normally, you will choose Local On (automatically selected when turning the SP-
300 on), so that playing the keyboard will produce sound.
Hold down the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button, and press the PIANO 1 sound
selection button. The Local setting will alternate to On/Off each time you press this
button.
Note: When the power is turned on, the Local will be automatically set to On.
Program Change
The sound of the SP-300 can be selected via MIDI, by sending a Program Change
message on the channel where you wish to assign the sound. The table enlists the
Program Change numbers (numbering from 0-29; if the transmitting device uses
numbers from 1-30, you will need to increment the number by one).
Transmitting Program Change messages. You can send a MIDI Program
Change message to a MIDI device connected to the SP-300 MIDI OUT, to change
its sound. When selecting one of the internal sounds of the SP-300 by using the
sound selection buttons, a MIDI Program Change number will be transmitted, as
shown in the table below.
Receiving Program Change messages. When a Program Change message is
received from an external device, the corresponding internal sound will be selected
on the SP-300, as shown in the following table. Only Program Change (PC) num-
bers in the range 0–29 have effect on the SP-300, while other numbers (30-127) are
ignored.
