2Use the POD 3 encoder to choose which library item to select (SNAPSHOT, EFFECT1, or

EFFECT2).

3The screen shows 32 programs at a time. Use the POD 4 encoder to select which group of 32 programs will be shown.

4Use the cursor keys and wheel to select and set incoming program change numbers (PROG No.),

— 0 through 127; the bank (LIBRARY BANK) — P1 for preset, B1 through B4 for the user CF card banks; and the number in the library (LIBRARY No.) 000 through 127.

NOTE

The effect libraries have two preset banks - these are labeled as P1 and P2 here.

Setting the MIDI channels To allow the pro- gram changes to be made independently for the three types of library recall, select different MIDI channels for the snapshot and effect libraries using the SETUP block at the top left of the screen.

Batch setup In order to assign a group of contigu- ous program change values to a contiguous group of library entries in the same bank, use the

block at the lower left of the screen.

•Select the starting and ending incoming Pro- gram Change numbers (PROG No.). You must press ENTER to confirm these values.

•Select the library bank (P1 or B1 through B4) for the batch process.

•Select the starting Library slot number

(LIBRARY No.). The highest library slot number is automatically determined from the Pro- gram Change values set earlier.

•When all values have been set, move the cur- sor to the on-screen SET button and press

ENTER.

NOTE

Program Change messages are sent and received through USB MIDI port 4. Enable this port in the MIDI SETUP screen (“MIDI port switching and filtering” on page 91) or the MIDI input and filter switches for the physical MIDI ports.
