Selecting Drum Sets on a GS sound module

The Drum Part (MIDI channel 10) of a GS module does not respond to Bank Select messages. However, if you try to send only a Program Change message from the PC-300, a Bank Select message will end up being transmitted along with it anyway because the data for the last sound specified will have been retained in memory. For this reason, you should always send the value “0” for “H” and “L”,

followed by the Program Number in order to make sure you obtain the Drum Set you need.

Note: “L” corresponds to CC32. This Bank Select message is sometimes used for selecting other sound module modes. If so, several “L” values are supported. See the module’s manual for details.

[Procedure]

1.Set the MIDI transmit channel to 10. See page 11.

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

3.Press the black G#4 key (“H”) [9].

4.Press the “0” key (C#5) in the NUMER- IC ENTRY section [12].

8.Press ENTER [14].

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