MH Style selection via MIDI
Before
delving
into
this
matter,
there
is
something
we
have
to
tell
about
the
way
Music
Styles
can
be
selected
via
MIDI.
The
following
illustration
will
help
you
understand
what
this
is
all
about:

As
you
see,
the
MIDI
address
of
a
Music
Style
consists
of
three
elements:
a
program
change
number
(‘‘1”
here),
a
CCO
number
(“6”),
and
a
CC32
number
(“11”).
CCO
and
CC32
are
bank
select
messages.
The
values
assigned
to
CCO
and
CC32
define
the
Style,
whereas
the
program
change
number
defines
the
pattern
(Intro,
Ending,
etc.).
In
other
words,
sending
only
a
pro-
gram
change
number
will
select
another
pattern
of
the
currently
active
Style.
Only
when
the
program
change
number
is
preceded
by
two
values
(for
CCO
and
CC32)
will
the
G-800
select
another
Music
Style.
Note:
Every
time
you
select
another
Style
on
your
G-800,
it
will
send
a
CCO-CC32-PC
cluster
to
the
MIDI
OUT
put
assigned
to
the
Style
channel.
See
the
Style
chart
at
the
end
of
this
manual
for
a
complete
list
of
all
available
Styles
and
their
addresses.
E Channel (A1~B16)
Allows
you
to
assign
a
MIDI
channel
to
the
Style
select
feature
(transmit
channel
on
the
TX
page
and
receive
channel
on
the
RX
page).
If
you
don’t
want
the
Style
Channel
messages
to
be
received
(or
transmitted),
use
the
[ACCOMP/GROUP]
button
to
select
Off.
m Filter (only on the RX page)
As
stated
above,
you
can
filter
two
types
of
messages:
Style Filter Meaning
