OPERATION GUIDE
Selecting Voices From Your MIDI
Keyboard
You can also select Voices remotely from a connected MIDI key-
board. Though the actual operation may differ depending on the
keyboard used, the general procedure is the same. (Refer to the
owner’s manual of your instrument for specific instructions.)
1.
Make sure that your keyboard is set up to send Program
Change messages.
2.
Use your keyboard’s panel controls to select a program.
Generally, if everything has been set up properly, the Voice
number on the P50-m will change, and will be the same
number as the program number you selected on your key-
board.
Keep in mind that the Voices of the P50-m number up to 29. Program
change numbers higher than 28 select only the highest Voice (#29).
Depending on the MIDI device you are using, the program numbers
(on the device) may not match the Voice numbers on the P50-m. This
is because the numbering system of some MIDI devices starts at #00,
rather than #01. In such a case, for example, you would use program
#12 to select Voice 13 on the P50-m.
