Send Program Change
This function sends MIDI program changes to your external gear on the currently
selected Basic MIDI channel. (At the same time, it edits the program change number for
the current MIDI channel in the active patch. See
PGM Send on Recall” on page 33 for
more info.)
Note that the program change send includes a send of Bank Select MSB and Bank
Select LSB according to the settings for those parameters on the same MIDI
channel in the current patch. See page 34
.
To Send an External Program Change Via the Main Control Panel:
1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the Send Prog Change keyboard key.
3. Select the desired program change number from 0-127 using the Data Slider,
Octave Transpose buttons, or Numeric Keyboard Keys.
4. Press Enter to send the program change.
5. Press Home to exit without sending the program change. (This also leaves the
program change setting for the current MIDI channel unmodified in the active patch.)
To Send an External Program Change (Xboard 61):
1. Make sure the Program Change Mode button’s LED is lit. If not, press the
button to light it.
2. Use the Direct Patch Select numerical buttons to enter a one- to three-digit
program change number. Use the button labeled “10” to enter a “0.”
3. Do one of the following:
If Zones are enabled, press the corresponding Zone button for the MIDI
channel you want to send the Program change across. If you want to send
the Program Change over the current MIDI channel, press Enter or the
Program Change Mode button (they will be blinking).
If Zones are not enabled, press Enter or the Program Change Mode
button (they will both be blinking).
Bank Sel MSB
This parameter allows you to select the MIDI Bank Select MSB (most significant
byte) that will be used when sending program changes via the Prog Change, PGM
Browse Mode or PGM Send On Recall features.
Select a Bank MSB from 0-127. Note that this merely edits the Bank Select MSB
setting for the current MIDI channel in the active patch. It does not cause a MIDI
message to be sent immediately.
For more information on MIDI Bank Select commands, see page 65
