b)If you want to make a selection from more than
128 programs, please use the following program change procedure. In this case your programs will be organized in banks, which can be selected with a special MIDI instruction called BANK SELECT. Here’s how it works:
The BANK SELECT instruction consists of two parts: one MSB part and one LSB part.
The MSB part describes a value range comprising 128 different values. On many devices this is the more important part of the BANK SELECT instruction.
The LSB part describes each of the 128 MSBs using
128 additional single steps. In both cases the numbering is from 0 to127.
In total, the BANK SELECT instruction offers the enormous value range of 128 x 128 = 16,384 different values. In theory, this means that you could use external devices with as many different banks. Considering the fact that each single bank includes another 128 single programs, you get the unbelievably large number of 2,097,152 programs for you to organize.
1)Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)Press the SINGLE key.
3)Release the ASSIGN button.
4)Now define the SINGLE CHANNEL by entering a number from 1 to 16 using the number keys (as described in chapter
4.2.2). In order to assign the GLOBAL CHANNEL, please press (0) instead.
5)Press the BANK MSB key. Press the number keys on the keyboard to enter the BANK MSB number of your choice. Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher values are ignored by the device. The BANK MSB is now defined.
Examples:
-To enter MSB 14, press keys (1) and (4).
-If you want to select MSB 107, press (1), (0) and (7).
6)Now define the BANK LSB by pressing the BANK LSB key. Use the procedure described above to enter the BANK LSB value (see step 5). The entry follows the same rules as were described for the BANK MSB.
In steps 5 and 6 you have defined the bank from which the desired program will be selected. Now define the program itself:
7)Press the PROGRAM key followed by the number keys on the keyboard to enter the program number of your choice.
Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher values are ignored by the device. That’s all!
8)Confirm your selection with ENTER. To discard your assign- ments either press the CANCEL key or the ASSIGN button again. In either case, the ASSIGN LED goes out.
Example:
You want to use the UMX250 to select preset #49 in bank #25 on an external device over channel 14. Since the bank number of sound modules is often smaller than 128, only the LSB is used to define the bank. The MSB is 0 in this case.
1)Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)Press the SINGLE key.
3)Release the ASSIGN button.
4)Define the MIDI channel by pressing keys (1) and (4).
5)Press the BANK MSB key and then (0).
6)Press the BANK LSB key and then keys (2) and (5) to select bank #25.
7)Define the program by pressing the PROGRAM key followed by keys (4) and (9) to select program #49.
8)Press the ENTER key.
c)Direct program selection using the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons.1)Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)Press the one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to which you want to assign the program change function.
3)Release the ASSIGN button.
4)Press the PROG DIR key. Press the number keys on the keyboard to enter the preset number of your choice. Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher values are ignored by the device.
5)Confirm your selection with ENTER. To discard your assign- ments either press the CANCEL key or the ASSIGN button again. In either case the ASSIGN LED goes out.
◊If you have not yet assigned an individual MIDI channel to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons (see Chapter 4.2.2), the direct selection of programs always refers to the GLOBAL CHANNEL!
◊As soon as you have assigned the direct program selection feature to one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons, pressing both buttons simultaneously will do NOTHING at all!
