Editing Program Change Messages
Not all Setups send Program Change messages. Many do,
however, so itÕs helpful to be able to view and edit the Program
Changes your ExpressionMate sends. HereÕs the step-by-step
procedure:
1. Start from any Setup. Here weÕll use SU 3 ÒBig StrumÓ.
2. Press the Controller button.
3. Double press the left and right cursor buttons (beneath the
screen) until the FIX1 parameter is displayed. The screen will
look like this:
SU|3|||91:38|Z1
FIX1|Dest:PrgChg
Notice that FIX1 is sending a Program Change message (PrgChg).
4. Press the right cursor button (>) to move to the FIX1 Entry Value
screen. Notice that the value is 24, indicating that program
change 24 is being sent. In the General MIDI program set, this is
Nylon String Guitar. You can change the value here by entering
the number for a different program Ð another guitar patch if you
like Ð or any other program of your choosing. You can change the
value with the data knob or the -/+ buttons.
5. Now press the Controller button again. If you check the upper
right-hand corner of the screen, youÕll see that youÕre now look-
ing at Zone 2, abbreviated here as ÒZ2Ó.
SU|3|||92:46|Z2
FIX1|Entr:46
The Program Change sent on this zone is 46, which is GMÕs
plucked harp. Again, you can edit the Program Change message
here, if thatÕs what youÕd like to do.
6. Press the Controller button one more time to have a look at Zone
3, and change its program if you want.
7. Press the Exit button when youÕre satisÞed with the programs. If
youÕve changed any of the values, youÕll see an asterisk (*), which
indicates that changes have been made from the default settings.
Press Exit again, and youÕll have the opportunity to save this
Setup with a new name and/or location number. The naming
and saving dialogs are described on page 57.
