Setting Buttons to send combined Program Change, Bank LSB and Bank MSB messages

The assignable buttons and the sustain pedal can be configured to send a multi-part message, consisting of a Program Change, Bank LSB and Bank MSB message when pressed. This is useful for specific patch/sound selection from a specific bank of a connected synthesizer or virtual instrument.

This requires four values to be specified (values given are examples):

	Key	Parameter		Value
Control Assign		Program/Bank Preset select	145
Data 1	(example)	Program Change Number	42	(GM Instrument Cello -
			see Appendix C)
Data 2	(example)	Bank LSB number	8
Data 3	(example)	Bank MSB number	32

The following example configures a button to send a total of 3 MIDI messages each time the button is pressed (Bank LSB, Bank MSB and Program Change), allowing you to recall any sound in any bank of a connected software or hardware synthesizer that supports this:

1.Select the Control as described earlier in this guide (Button or Pedal)

2.Press the Advanced button

3.Press the Control Assign key

4.Enter 145 using the number keys. This sets the button or the pedal to send a combined Bank Select/Program Change message

5.Press the Enter key

6.Press the Advanced button

7.Press the Data 1 key

8.Enter the Program Change number, for example 42

9.Press the Enter key

10.Press the Advanced button

11.Press the Data 2 key

12.Enter the Bank LSB number, for example 8

13.Press the Enter key

14.Press the Advanced button

15.Press the Data 3 key

16.Enter the Bank MSB number, for example 32

17.Press the Enter key

See Section 10 - MIDI Messaged Defined for an in-depth explanation of how Bank LSB / Bank MSB and Program Change messages work together to access all programs on a connected synthesizer or other MIDI device.
