Bank Select: On / Off
[ ] (Bank Select)
In the Program Change mode, this sets whether Bank Select messages are to be sent together with
Program Change messages. This should normally be set to “Off” (not sent).
[On]: Bank Select messages are sent.
[Off]: Bank Select messages are not sent.
With MIDI, you can use combinations of Bank Select messages and Program Change messages to
select programs for a large number of Tones and other sounds.
* A Bank Select message consists of the controller 0 and 32 Control Change messages.
The FC-200 can send Program Change messages from 1 to 128, so a total of 128 programs can be
switched. This is the unit’s normal status, whereby Bank Select messages are not sent.
However, if you set the FC-200 so that Bank Select messages are sent, the total number of programs
that can be selected rises to a maximum of 1,000.
* To find out whether the receiving instrument can recognize incoming Bank Select messages,
refer to the Control Change column in the MIDI Implementation Chart in the manual for the
receiving instrument.
* If the receiving instrument uses controller numbers 0 and 32 for some function other than Bank
Select messages, you should set the FC-200 so that it does not send Bank Select messages.
The chart below shows the relationship between the MIDI Bank Select and Program Change
messages that the FC-200 sends. The Program Change messages enclosed in boxes are not sent.

* The value of the Bank Select message can vary for the same Program Change number, and so
the message that is sent is different.
