When you input MIDI messages into sequencer software on your computer for transmission to the SD-80, send the messages in the following order.

1.Value of control change 0: MIDI bank number MSB (variation number)

2.

Value of control change 32:

MIDI bank number LSB (*1)

3.

Value of program change:

MIDI program number (instrument number)

(*1)Refer to the explanation of the bank select lower byte (LSB) (see the following section).

The bank select message consists of steps 1 and 2. Bank Select messages are one form of control change message. Processing of the bank select is suspended until the program change is received.
