Setting The Midi Transmit Channel; Selecting Sounds - Roland PC-300 Manual Del Usuario

Setting the MIDI transmit
channel
To control the sound module, set the
PC-300's MIDI channel to the same chan-
nel on which the module is receiving. If
the sound module is multitimbral, set the
channel on the PC-300 so it matches the
MIDI channel of the module's Part that
you wish to control.
[Procedure]
1. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
2. Select the MIDI channel by pressing
one of the MIDI CHANNELS keys [6].
3. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED
will go out).

Selecting sounds

Program Change/Bank Select messages are
used for changing Tones for an instrument
Part, and for changing Drum Sets for the
Drum Part (MIDI channel 10).
Changing sounds in a GS sound module
To change Tones in a GS module, you
need to send Bank Select messages using
control changes CC00 (called "H" here)
and CC32 (called "L"), followed by the
desired Program Number (PC).
The desired sound bank needs to be speci-
fied using both an "H" and an "L" value.
Be aware that only sending these two mes-
sages is not enough for selecting another
sound. You also need to transmit a
Program Change number.
On the PC-300, these three messages are
always sent as one set:
• Value of control change CC00 ("H");
• Value of control change CC32 ("L");
• Program Number.
Note: You can refer to the GS/GM sound
group list printed on the upper-right part of
the PC-300's panel when specifying a Program
Number. See also the manual of the module
your are using.
[Procedure]
1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.

For single-digit program numbers (1~9),
pressing the corresponding key is enough.
