Examples: Using Program Change Messages

The following figures illustrate typical ways in which to utilize MIDI Program Change messages with the VM200.

In the following example, if you are using the Preset Program Change Table (which appears on function page 3:PGM TABLE2), when you send Program Change 10 from the MIDI keyboard, the VM200 will recall Scene 10, due to preset assignment.

In the following example, Program Change 33 has been programmed into a song on the MIDI sequencer and will be transmitted to the VM200 at the specified point when the song is played.

If you are using the Preset Program Change Table (2), the VM200 will recall Scene 33, due to preset assignment.

Since the VM200 outputs Program Change messages when scenes are recalled, you can record “scene recalls” to the MIDI sequencer in real time.

You can also connect two VM200s via MIDI and recall a scene on the first VM200, so that the corresponding Program Change message will be transmitted to the second VM200 recall the assigned scene.
