Decisions, decisions:
Banks and Programs
Sounds are selected for each Part with Bank and Program
Change commands. These are inserted into the first bar of
each sequencer track using the following three events:
Bank Change (MSB) Control 0 Bank Select
Bank Change (LSB) Control 32 Bank Number
Program Change Program
As you can see, a combination of two event types is
employed: two MIDI controllers and a Program Change com-
mand. It is required that these three events are recorded in
this order. If further Program Changes are to occur after
these initial Bank and Program Changes, all that is required
is a PROGRAM CHANGE command.
If you are unsure as to how Bank and Program Changes
occur within your sequencer program, this might help:
Set your sequencer to Record/Start. Call up the CS1x
Preset Performance 001 at the keyboard. Now press the
PRESET key. Stop the sequencer, and call up the Edit mode.
Your event list should like something look this:
Event List / Bank and Program Changes
How should you interpret this diagram? Quite simple really:
you have recorded Bank and Program Changes for Preset
Performance 001. The first line calls up an MSB Value of 63
with Controller 0, the second sets a LSB Value of 64 using
Controller 32. The third line calls up Program 1 using a “Pro-
gram Change event”. Be careful however: the Program
Change value has to be converted if the sequencer program
uses the MIDI norm for displaying them (= 0 – 127). This
means that choosing Program 63 at the keyboard would be
resolved as Program 62 in the sequencer‘s memory. The fol-
lowing examples and tables list the Program value per MIDI
norm in brackets.
The tables below give an overview of your YAMAHA syn-
thesizer‘s Bank sorted sound material.
Table: Performances and Material Voices
(Performance Mode only)
The first row of the table lists the CS1x Bank Changes. The
remaining rows contain Bank Changes for Material Voice
Banks 00 – 12. All Material voices can be used as indepen-
dent sounds for Performance Parts 5 – 16, and then called
up using the above Bank Changes. Section “About the CS1x
Sound Structure” will give you a better insight into the system
used here.
AMPLE:
You are creating a song in Performance mode and wish to
assign PRESET 001 (= Material voice “Pre01-PGM1”) to Part
5 Layer 2. You will need to input the following Bank/Program
Changes:
Control 0 063 (MSB)
Control 32 001 (LSB)
Program 001 (000)
