14. PROGRAM OPERATING MODE
The Program operating mode is where you can listen to
individual Programs, and edit them.
To select a Program, see the “Basic operations” chapter.
In this mode, the selected Program can always be played
across the full keyboard range.
To automatically select the Program to be assigned to the
last selected track, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and
press the PROGRAM button.
Hint: This is useful to see the Bank Select/Program Change
numbers when programming a Song on an external sequencer.
Note: The Program uses the same Scale of the latest selected Per-
formance or STS.
MAIN PAGE
Here is the main page of the Program operating mode.
Program icon
When turned on, this icon shows that the instrument is in
Program mode.
Page header
This line shows the selected Program name. Use the TEMPO/
VALUE controls, or the PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE sec-
tion to select a Program. (See “Selecting a Program” on
page 26 for more information).
Tempo
This is the tempo of Sequencer 1. The Tempo is one of the
AMSs (see “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) list” on
page 123). Use the SHIFT + DIAL combination to change it.
A (Group)
This non-editable parameter shows which group the Pro-
gram is included into. A group is the equivalent of a PRO-
GRAM/PERFORMANCE button.
B (CC00)
This non-editable parameter shows the value of the Control
Change (CC) 00 message (or Bank Select MSB) for the
selected Program.
C (CC32)
This non-editable parameter shows the value of the Control
Change (CC) 32 message (a.k.a. Bank Select LSB) for the
selected Program.
D (PC)
This non-editable parameter shows the value of the Program
Change (PC) message for the selected Program. Values are in
the standard 0-127 MIDI numbering format.
Note: Some manufacturers could use the 1-128 numbering sys-
tem; when connecting your Pa50SD to an instrument of this
kind, increment the PC value by 1 unit.
Effects
In Program mode, the Program uses its own effects instead of
relying on A-D effects. Two effect processors (FX1 and FX2)
are available.
The MIDI channel
In Program mode, Pa50SD receives and transmits on the
same channel of the Upper 1 track. If the Global channel is
assigned, notes can be received also on this channel. See
“Page 6 - MIDI IN Channels” on page 127 and “Page 10 -
MIDI OUT Channels” on page 129 for more information.
SOUND PROGRAMS AND DRUM PROGRAMS
Pa50SD features two different kinds of Programs:
• Sound Programs. These are normal instrument Pro-
grams, like pianos, strings, basses.
• Drum Programs. These are drum and percussion kits,
where each note of the keyboard is a different percussive
instrument. You can find Drum Programs in the DRUM
KIT and USER DK banks.
Before pressing MENU to enter the edit environment, you
should select a Program of the type you wish to edit or create.
Notes pointing to special Drum Program features are marked
by the icon.

While in any other page of the Program operative mode,
press MENU to open the Program edit menu. This menu
gives access to the various Program edit sections.
When in the menu, select an edit section using the VOLUME/
VALUE (A-G) buttons, select an edit page using PAGE +, or
press EXIT to exit the menu.
When in an edit page, press EXIT to go back to the main page
of the Program operating mode.
Each item in this menu corresponds to an edit section. Each
edit section groups various edit pages.
