Using MIDI messages to select Patches

Normally when a MIDI program change message is received, the Instrument of a Part will change. However if you set the MIDI channel for the Patch, the Patch will change when a program change message is received (p.131).

With the Patch MIDI CH settings of A-- or B--”, incoming program changes will select the Instrument of the corresponding Part.

*With the factory settings, the Patch MIDI CH is set to A--.

For example, suppose that the MIDI channels of the Patch and Part were set to the same value. In this case, an incoming program change on channel 1 [C0H 01H] will select Patch 02 MILD OD, but the Instrument of Part A01 the instrument (TC Front Pick) specified for the Patch will be used.

Patch MIDI CH: “A01”

Part A01 MIDI CH: “A01”

If you want program changes to once again select the Instrument of Part A01, set the Patch MIDI CH to A--”.

*It takes awhile until the sound can be heard after you change the Patch.
