If you want to make a selection from more than b)
128 programs, please use the following program
change procedure. In this case your programs will
be organized in banks, which can be selected with a
special MIDI instruction called BANK SELECT.
Here’s how it works:
The BANK SELECT instruction consists of two parts: one MSB
part and one LSB part.
The MSB part describes a value range comprising 128 different
values. On many devices this is the more important part of the
BANK SELECT instruction.
The LSB part describes each of the 128 MSBs using
128 additional single steps. In both cases the numbering is from
0 to127.
In total, the BANK SELECT instruction offers the enormous
value range of 128 x 128 = 16,384 different values. In theory,
this means that you could use external devices with as many
different banks. Considering the fact that each single bank
includes another 128 single programs, you get the unbelievably
large number of 2,097,152 programs for you to organize.
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.1)
Press the SINGLE key.2)
Release the ASSIGN button.3)
Now dene the SINGLE CHANNEL by entering a number 4)
from 1 to 16 using the number keys (as described in chapter
4.2.2). In order to assign the GLOBAL CHANNEL, please
press
(0)
instead.
Press the BANK MSB key. Press the number keys on the 5)
keyboard to enter the BANK MSB number of your choice.
Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher
values are ignored by the device. The BANK MSB is now
dened.
Examples:
- To enter MSB 14, press keys
(1)
and
(4)
.
- If you want to select MSB 107, press
(1)
,
(0)
and
(7)
.
Now dene the BANK LSB by pressing the BANK LSB key. 6)
Use the procedure described above to enter the BANK LSB
value (see step 5). The entry follows the same rules as were
described for the BANK MSB.
In steps 5 and 6 you have dened the bank from which the
desired program will be selected. Now dene the program
itself:
Press the PROGRAM key followed by the number keys on 7)
the keyboard to enter the program number of your choice.
Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher
values are ignored by the device. That’s all!
Conrm your selection with ENTER. To discard your assign-8)
ments either press the CANCEL key or the ASSIGN button
again. In either case, the ASSIGN LED goes out.
Example:
You want to use the UMX250 to select preset #49 in bank #25
on an external device over channel 14. Since the bank number of
sound modules is often smaller than 128, only the LSB is used to
dene the bank. The MSB is 0 in this case.
