0–1b: Timbre Program Select
Selected Timbre Info
This area shows information on the timbre selected for
editing. T: Timbre number/program
bank/number/name, Ch: MIDI channel/number.
Gray color and [Inactive] warning in Timbre Info
Normally, the numbers for un-selected Timbres use
a dark blue background, and a light blue
background hilights the selected Timbre.
If the background is gray, instead, this means that
the maximum amount of EXi Fixed Resources has
been exceeded, and the EXi Program assigned to the
Timbre will be muted and inactive. In this case, the
Selected Timbre Info will also show the warning
[Inactive] after the Program’s name.
For more information on this subject, including
ways to get more out of the system, see “CX-3 &
STR-1: Limitations on EXi fixed resources” on
page 326.

To switch the program of a timbre
• Choose Program Select, use numeric keys 0–9 to
input the program number, and press the ENTER
switch.
• Choose Program Select and turn the VALUE dial
or use the / switches.
• If the Program Select parameter is selected, the
BANK I-A–U-G switches will switch program
banks. (If Timbre Program Select is selected, the
BANK switch LED of the program bank selected for
that timbre will light.)
• From the Bank/Program Select menu you can view
and select programs by bank.
• From the Category/Program Select menu you can
view and select programs by category.
• In the Bank/Combination Select menu or
Category/Program Select menu, you can use the
Favorite function to view and select programs
whose “Favorite” setting is check.
• You can transmit MIDI program changes from a
connected external MIDI device.
When you select a Combination on the OASYS, a
MIDI program change for the selected combination
number will be transmitted on the global MIDI
Channel (Global 1–1a). At the same time, bank
select, program change, and volume (CC#7)
messages will be transmitted on the MIDI channel
specified for each timbre whose Status (0–1b, 2–1a)
is set to EXT or EX2. However, these messages will
not be transmitted for timbres that are set to the
same MIDI channel as the global MIDI channel. In
this case, EX2 timbres will show the “Program”
Bank as “–”, and will transmit the bank number that
was specified in “Bank Select” (2–1a).
When you play on the OASYS keyboard and
controllers, MIDI messages are transmitted on the
global MIDI channel. At the same time, timbres
whose Status is set to EXT or EX2 will transmit the
same messages on their own MIDI channel.
