Bank Select and Program Change
“Bank select” and “program change” are MIDI messages that
are normally used to select patches.
Normally, program changes are used to select patches.
However, program change messages by themselves are able
to select a maximum of only 128 patches. Thus on some
devices, bank select MSB messages are used in conjunction
with program changes to extend the possible range of
selections to 16,384 (= 128 x 128) different patches.
The patches on these devices are assigned a number
consisting of a combination of a bank number MSB in the
range of 0–127 and a program number in the range of 1–128.
Selecting Patches from an
External Device
This lets you specify whether program change messages will
be transmitted when a patch change occurs.
* The program change that gets transmitted is fixed for each
patch. You will need to set the program change reception map
on the external device.
1. Press [SYSTEM].
2. Press [F6] (MIDI).
3. Press [F4] (PROGRAM CHANGE OUT).
