Program Change ON/OFF
Normally the P-85 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external key-
board or other MIDI device, causing the same numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding
channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The P-85 will normally also send a MIDI program
change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the same numbered voice or pro-
gram to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to
MIDI program change numbers. This function makes it possible to cancel program change number
reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the P-85 without affecting the external
MIDI device.
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME] buttons, press
the C#6 key. Pressing the C#6 key repeatedly toggles between Program Change
On and Off.

PROGRAM CHANGE

Data format: [CnH] -> [ppH]
CnH = Program event (n = channel number)
ppH = Program change number
• When program change reception is turned OFF, no program change data is transmitted or
received.
• When you specify a program change as a number in the range of 0–127, specify a number
that is one less than the program change number listed above. For example, to specify pro-
gram change number 1, you would specify a value of 0.
