Setting the MIDI transmit channel

To control the sound module, set the PC-300’s MIDI channel to the same chan- nel on which the module is receiving. If the sound module is multitimbral, set the channel on the PC-300 so it matches the MIDI channel of the module’s Part that you wish to control.

[Procedure]

1.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light).

2.Select the MIDI channel by pressing one of the MIDI CHANNELS keys [6].

3.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out).

Selecting sounds

Program Change/Bank Select messages are used for changing Tones for an instrument Part, and for changing Drum Sets for the Drum Part (MIDI channel 10).

Changing sounds in a GS sound module

To change Tones in a GS module, you need to send Bank Select messages using control changes CC00 (called “H” here) and CC32 (called “L”), followed by the desired Program Number (PC).

The desired sound bank needs to be speci- fied using both an “H” and an “L” value. Be aware that only sending these two mes- sages is not enough for selecting another sound. You also need to transmit a Program Change number.

On the PC-300, these three messages are always sent as one set:

Value of control change CC00 (“H”);

Value of control change CC32 (“L”);

Program Number.

Note: You can refer to the GS/GM sound group list printed on the upper-right part of the PC-300’s panel when specifying a Program Number. See also the manual of the module your are using.

[Procedure]

1.Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the Part or module you wish to control.

See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel”.

2.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light).

3.Press the black G#4 key (“H”) [9].

4.Set the “H” value (CC00) by pressing the appropriate keys in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [12].

For single-digit program numbers (1~9), pressing the corresponding key is enough.

Note: Press the [CANCEL] key [13] to erase these values and start again.

5.Press ENTER [14].

6.Press the black F#4 key (“L”) [9].

7.Set the “L” value (CC32) by pressing the appropriate keys in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [12].

For single-digit program numbers (1~9), pressing the corresponding key is enough.

8.Press ENTER [14].

9.Press the black A#4 key (“Program Change”) [10].

10.Select the program number by press- ing the appropriate keys in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [12].

11.Press ENTER [14].

12.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out).
