Sending Program Changes

If your software or MIDI device supports “program change” messages, you can recall different presets (sounds) straight from the KeyStudio 25 keyboard without having to reach for the MIDI device (or computer). To send a program change message:

1.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button.

2.Press the PROG CHG key on the keyboard.

3.Enter the program number you wish to send, using the numerical data entry keys, or the DEC/INC buttons.

4.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

Note that program change messages are sent on the “global” MIDI channel. The global channel can be changed using the procedure described further below.

Sending Bank Changes

If your MIDI device or software synthesizer contains more than 128 presets (sounds), then the presets will be organized into separate “banks” of sounds. KeyStudio 25 allows you to switch between banks straight from the keyboard without having to reach for the MIDI device (or computer). To send a bank change, before sending a program change message:

1.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button.

2.Press the BANK LSB or BANK MSB key on the keyboard.

TIP: This function can also be used to set up the control parameters at the start of a song. If you set all the controller values to obtain the desired effect levels in your song, you can then record the Snap Shot to ensure the song will always play back with the correct effect levels. To do this, put your sequencer into record mode and press the Snap

Shot buttons.

3.Enter the bank number you wish to send using the numerical data entry keys, or the DEC/INC buttons.

4.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

5.Press the ADVANCED FUNCTION button.

6.Press the PROG CHG key on the keyboard.

7.Enter the program number you wish to recall in your new bank, using the numerical data entry keys, or the DEC/INC buttons.

8.Press the ENTER key to confirm.

To learn more about LSB and MSB, please refer to the “MIDI Messages In-Depth” section of this User Guide.

NOTE: Bank change messages must be followed by a program change message for the bank change to take effect. Simply sending a bank change message by itself will not result in any changes in your MIDI hardware or software.
