About BANK and PROGRAM messages
Most MIDI instruments contain a group of 128 programs in each bank (often numbered
0-127). MIDI bank messages allow you to select programs greater than 127.
For example, in most MIDI instruments, bank 0 contains programs 0-127, bank 1 contains
programs 128-255, bank 2 contains programs 256-383, bank 3 contains programs 384-511,
etc.
To select programs greater than 127, rst select the appropriate bank for the desired program
number range. After selecting a MIDI bank, use the PROGRAM button to select a program
in that bank.
USB MIDI

following:
• Use the SP1 as a MIDI controller to play software instruments on a computer.
• Use computer software to record and play MIDI songs using SP1 sounds.

SP1 MIDI inputs and outputs will appear in your music software as “Kurzweil SP1”.
