Program Change Control
Direct Program Change Entry
Specific program change numbers can be directly trans-
mitted from the WX5 by using the playing keys (num-
bers 1 through 0 are assigned to the keys - see illustration
above) while pressing the Program Change button.
1-digit Example: Program Change Number 003
Press the A key (number 3) while holding the Program
Change button. Program change number 003 will actu-
ally be transmitted when the Program Change key is re-
leased.
An alternative method is to enter all three digits of the
number in sequence - [0][0][3]. In this case the program
change number will actually be transmitted as soon as
the last digit is entered.
2-digit Example: Program Change Number 012
Press the B key (number 1) and then the A# key (number
2) while holding the Program Change button. Program
change number 012 will actually be transmitted when the
Program Change key is released.
An alternative method is to enter all three digits of the
number in sequence - [0][1][2]. In this case the program
change number will actually be transmitted as soon as
the last digit is entered.
3-digit Example: Program Change Number 124
Press the B key (number 1), the A# key (number 2), and
then the G key (number 4) while holding the Program
Change button. Program change number 124 will actu-
ally be transmitted as soon as the last digit is entered.
This method cannot be used to change the bank se-
lect number. The specified voice number within the
current bank will be selected. To change the bank num-
ber see “Bank Number Transmission”, below.
