portion of all performance data.
• The note name defines the pitch.
• The gate time specifies the length of the note in beats and
clocks.
• Velocity is “how hard” the note is played. The bar graph to the
right is a graphic representation of the value.

3. Program Change (PC)

included in the Control Change category, below, but since in
the RS7000 these 3 events are used to select voices they are
grouped and described here.
• Bank select MSB and LSB select the voice bank.
• The program number selects an individual voices from the
voice category and bank number specified by the MSB and
