How to Send Program Change Messages
12
1. Changing the Bank
Each press of a BANK pedal (UP/DOWN) changes the Bank, and the new Bank appears on the
display.
Press the UP pedal to increase the Bank number and the DOWN pedal to lower it.
* Simply changing the Bank does not cause a Program Change message to be sent. The Program
Change message is sent when you choose a Number as the next step.
2. Changing the Number
Press a Number pedal (1 to 10) to choose a Number. The indicator for the Number pedal you’ve
depressed lights up, and a Program Change message is sent.
* If you want to send a Program Change message for a different Number in the same Bank, you
don’t have to choose the Bank again — just depress the pedal for the new Number.
* In addition to the method just described, you can send Program Change messages just by
switching the Bank, or use the Number pedals like a ten-key numeric keypad when switching
the Bank. For more details, see “Output of Program Change Messages When Changing Banks”
(p. 24) and “Changing Banks Using the Number Pedals” (p. 24).
Using the Control Pedal
Depressing the Control pedal causes the value for controller number 80 (General-Purpose
Controller 5) to be sent.
Depressing the Control pedal sends the message “ON” 127 (7Fh), and releasing it sends the
message “OFF” 0 (00h). The pedal indicator lights up when on.
* You can change the value of the controller numbers. See “Controller Number Setting for Control
Pedal” (p. 21).
* The Control pedal sends an ON message when depressed and an OFF message when released,
which means that it is a “momentary type pedal.” You can change this to “latch type” operation,
which sends an ON or OFF message each time you depress it — see “Setting for Latch Type
Control Pedal Operation” (p. 21).
* You can use the Control pedal to send Realtime messages and MMC (MIDI Machine Control)
messages. For details, see “ABOUT REALTIME MESSAGES AND MMC MESSAGES” (p. 29).
