“MSB” and “LSB” are so-called “Bank Select” messages.
“Bank Select” messages are control change messages,
which were added when it became clear that the num-
ber of sounds that can be selected using program
change messages (128) was no longer sufficient to
access all sounds of a given instrument.
Send MSB—(0~127, Default setting: 0) Use this param-
eter to specify the bank that contains the sound you
want to select. Instruments with more than 128 sounds
(like the KR103) use several banks.
Send LSB—(0~127, Default setting: 0) Use this parame-
ter to specify the group that contains the sound you
want to select. Instruments of other manufacturers may
also use this message (CC32) to specify the sound bank
(the KR103 only uses the value “2”).
Send PC—(1~128, Default setting: 1) “Send PC” are
MIDI messages that tell the receiving instrument to
select another sound (or Tone). There may be situations
where you would like to double the Upper part melody
with a sound of an external instrument that is not auto-
matically selected. Be sure to first set the “Set MSB” and
“Set LSB” parameters before choosing a value for “Send
PC”. Otherwise, you may be unable to pinpoint the
sound the external instrument should use.
Note: The three “Send” values are only transmitted to an
external MIDI instrument (or a sequencer). They have no
effect on the KR103 itself.
