Bank Sel LSB
This parameter allows you to select the MIDI Bank Select LSB (least significant
byte) that will be used when sending program changes via the Send Prog Change,
PGM Browse Mode or PGM Send On Recall features.
Select a Bank Select LSB from 0-127. Note that this merely edits the Bank Select
LSB 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
.
Program Change (PGM) Browse Mode
This function allows you to play the keyboard and use the wheels and rotary
controls while browsing through MIDI programs. Program change messages are
sent on the Basic MIDI channel as described above (See “
Send Program Change
on page 34.). This includes sending Bank Select MSB and Bank Select LSB
according to current settings for that MIDI channel in the active patch.
To Browse MIDI Program Changes:
1. Press the Edit button.
2. Press the PGM Browse Mode keyboard key. The display shows the current
program change setting for the patch’s basic MIDI channel.
3. Select the desired program change number using the Data Slider or the
Octave Transpose buttons. The program change numbers are shown on the
display. (In order to avoid sending continuous barrages of program change
messages which might confuse receiving equipment, program change
messages are transmitted only when the slider stops moving for one second.
The display will briefly show “---” whenever this occurs.) You can play the
keyboard and use other performance controllers to audition the selected
program.
4. Press Enter.
Press Home to leave the program change setting for the current MIDI channel
unmodified in the active patch. The unmodified setting is used in one final
program change message send to restore the previously-loaded program in
any device which is receiving on that channel.
