Program Change Formats

There are two more ways to describe the QA Bank E format: one verbal, one visual. The Þrst
(hundreds) digit of the QA bank that gets selected is always the same as the currently selected
memory bank. The QA bankÕs second (tens) digit is equal to the value of the Þrst program
change command: either the value of the MC 32 message, or the third (ones) digit of the PCH.
The QA bankÕs third (ones) digit is equal to the tens digit of the second PCH. The QA bank
entry that gets selected is equal to the ones digit of the second PCH. The following diagram will
clarify:
That takes care of the receiving end of the QA Bank E format. The diagram above also explains
the transmitting side. If, for example, youÕre currently in Quick Access bank 219, and you press
5 on the alphanumeric pad, the K2vx selects for itself whatever program or setup is
programmed for that bank and entry. The K2vx then sends the following two program change
commands to its MIDI Out portÑMC 32: value 1, followed by PCH: value 95. The Þrst
program change command is always of the MC 32 type. The currently selected memory bank is
not included the program change command.
Quick Access Banks—Kurzweil (QA BANK K)
In terms of receiving program change commands, this works almost exactly like the QA Bank E
format. The only exception is that within the QA Bank K format, the K2vx expects the Þrst
program change command to be of the standard program change command type. MIDI
Controller 32 messages will not be recognized.
