Defining The Preset Set-up String
When a preset is selected/recalled, each MIDI channel can send out an associated bank select message, pro-
gram change message, and volume message. The preset string can also be linked to a scene in addition to an 80-
byte programmable string.
BANK/PROGRAM/VOLUME
To program these options:
1. Press Edit, then select "Setup string." Next, press Enter to access one of the three set-up pages. The bank
select, program change, and volume for each channel are available on the first page:
2. Cursor right to the "Ch" field. Changing this field causes the bank, program, and volume fields to display the
information for the selected channel.
3. Cursor right to the "Bank" field. This field displays the bank number to be sent for this channel.
Decrementing this field below zero (off) causes no bank message to be sent. When the Bank param-
eter is set to 0-127, the full Bank Select message is transmitted, with a zeroed MSB, and the Bank
number in the LSB. Some products use the MSB directly to change banks, ignoring the LSB. Be-
cause of this, the PC 1600x's Bank parameter can be incremented further past 127. This new range
is shown as 001m - 127m. When one of these values is used, the Bank will be sent as the MSB, and
the LSB won't be sent. For example, bank 002m on Channel 1 would be transmitted as follows:
NOTE: There is no "000m" choice in the list. To switch an "MSB" unit to bank #0, use the 000
(LSB) selection, since that will send a zeroed MSB along with the zeroed LSB.
More About Bank Select
MIDI specifies the Bank Select message as a full 14-bit controller message (two 7-bit controllers combined into a 14-bit number). The MSB (Most
Significant Byte) is controller #0, while the LSB (Least Significant Byte) is controller #32 (#20h). The bank number is computed as (MSB * 128) +
LSB. Hence, to switch to bank #2 on Channel 5, the MIDI message would look like this:
4. Cursor right to the "Prog" field. This field displays the program number to be sent for this
channel. Decrementing this field below zero (off) causes no program message to be sent.
5. Cursor right to the "Vol" field. This field displays the volume to be sent for this channel.
Decrementing this field below zero (off) causes no volume message to be sent.
6. Repeat the above steps as necessary for each channel.
7. With parameters de-selected (press EXIT), press the up direction button to access the screen recall
screen.
