PC88 Made Easy
39
When you are on the Bank parameter in the PC88, it shows you both the 0/32 value and
the bank number equivalent. When you are on other parameters, it will only show you
the bank number equivalent, followed by a Ò:Ó, followed by the program number.
To scroll through all the bank numbers with the alpha wheel can take a long time, so you
will probably want to enter the bank number on the numeric keypad.
So to figure out which bank number equivalent you need, follow this formula: MSB x 128
+ LSB. Using the Roland example, if they require you send controller #0 with a value of
80 and no value of controller #32, then you would have 80 x 128 + 0 = 10,240. If you
type 10240, then press Enter when you are on the Bank parameter, you will see the
display show both 80/0 and 10240.
Another example: If the Roland required you send controller 0 with a value of 81 and
controller 32 with a value of 2, then you would have 81 x 128 + 2 = 10,370. Again,
entering 10370 for the Bank parameter will show both 81/2 and 10370.
