M7CL Owner’s Manual
Using program changes to recall scenes and library items
202
When bank select and then program change messages
(in that order) are received on the Rx channel, the
event assigned to that bank number and program num-
ber in the list will be executed.
When you execute a specific event on the M7CL, bank
select + program change messages for the bank num-
ber and program number assigned to that event will be
transmitted on the Tx channel. (If the same event is
assigned more than once in the list, the lowest-num-
bered bank number and program number will be trans-
mitted.)
7Use the buttons of the PROGRAM CHANGE

field to turn transmission and reception on/

off, and make settings for echo output.

This field includes the following items.
●Tx button
Switches program change transmission on/off.
●Rx button
Switches program change reception on/off.
●ECHO button
This selects whether incoming program changes are
echoed-out from the MIDI transmission port.
8To change the event assignment for each

program number, press the desired event in

the list.

The MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE popup window will
appear. In this window you can specify the event
assigned to each program number. The popup window
includes the following items.

1TYPE field

Select the type of event.
The following table lists the events you can select.

BLIBRARY NAME field

Select the scene or library item to recall. If you
selected SCENE in the TYPE field, this shows the
scene number and its title. If you selected RACK 5–8,
this shows the library number and its title.
9Use the TYPE field to select the type of

event you want to assign, and use the

LIBRARY NAME field to select the scene/

library number that will be recalled.

Use the ↑/↓ buttons to select an item. Press the OK
button to confirm the change and close the MIDI PRO-
GRAM CHANGE popup window.

Assign events to other program numbers in

the same way.

With these settings, executing the specified event on
the M7CL will cause the corresponding program
change (or bank select + program change) message to
be transmitted to the external device.
When an external device transmits a program change
(or bank select + program change) message on the
appropriate channel, the event assigned to that pro-
gram number of the corresponding MIDI channel (or
bank number) will be executed.
• The settings of the OMNI and BANK buttons are ignored in
Multi mode.
• If the BANK button is on and only a program change on an
applicable MIDI channel is received, the last-selected bank
number will be used.
NOTE
•If the BANK button is on, the OMNI button can also be turned
on at the same time. In this case, bank select + program
change messages of all MIDI channels will be received.

one program number on a Tx channel, only the lowest pro-
gram number will be transmitted. (If the BANK button is on,
only the program number of the lowest bank number will be
transmitted.)
•In Multi mode, if the same event is assigned to more than one
MIDI channel and more than one program number, only the
lowest program number on each MIDI channel will be trans-
mitted.
