Sending and Receiving Bank Select Messages
The QS will send and respond to MIDI Bank Select messages in the
form of MIDI Controller 0. The value of Controller 0 determines which
bank is to be recalled (User, Preset 1–3, GenMIDI, Card). The way the
QS handles Bank Select messages depends on the MIDI Program Select
mode (set in Global Mode):
MIDI PrgSl: OFF
The QS will neither transmit nor receive Bank Select messages or
Program change commands with this setting.
MIDI PrgSl: ON
Reception: Program Mode. If a Bank Select (controller 0) message with a
value of 0 is received, it will cause the User Bank to be recalled. If a
Bank Select message of 1 is received, Preset Bank 1 will be recalled.
Additionally, if a Sound Card is inserted, the Card Banks can be selected
using Controller 0 values between 5 and 15.
Reception: Mix Mode. Same as above, except the Mix itself will not
change Banks. The word “EDITED” will appear in Mix Play mode
screen, because the Mix has been altered to point to another bank on one
of its MIDI channels. But you have to look inside the Mix to see that the
Bank change occurred.
Transmission: Program Mode. If a new Bank is selected using the
[BANK] buttons, a Bank Change message will be transmitted. See
Reception: Program Mode for a description of which values will be sent
for each Bank as it is selected.
Transmission: Mix Mode. If a new Bank is selected and any of the
channels within the Mix have their MIDI Out parameters set to ON (Mix
Edit Mode, Keyboard/MIDI function, Page 2), a Bank Select message
(followed by a Program change) will be transmitted for each of those
MIDI channels.
In Mix Program Select Mode (where you choose the Programs within
the Mix), any channel which has its MIDI Out set to ON will transmit
Bank and Program changes from within the Mix, just like in Program
Mode.
MIDI MixSl: CH 1-16
Reception: Program Mode. Same as with MIDI PrgSl: ON (see above).
Reception: Mix Mode. In this mode, when a Bank select message is
received on the channel specified by this parameter, the Mix itself will
change Banks. Any Program change command on this same channel will
call up an entire Mix as if it were a Program. All other channels within
the Mix will behave the same way they do when MIDI PrgSl: ON is
selected (i.e., they receive Bank and Program changes normally).
Transmission: Program Mode. Same as with MIDI PrgSl: ON (see
above).
Transmission: Mix Mode. If a new Bank is selected, the Bank number
of the Mix itself will be transmitted on the channel specified by this
NOTE: Bank change messages will be
ignored if General MIDI Mode is enabled,
so that only Programs within the General
MIDI B
ank (GenMIDI) can be recalled via
MIDI Program changes. The MIDI Program
Select parameter will automatically be set to
MIDI Prg: ON.
