Performing (Play Mode)

You can transmit program changes to select sounds on your sound module from the A-PRO.
If you want to select a sound from a different bank, first use bank mode to transmit a bank
select message that will switch the bank. Then transmit a program change message. The
bank select message must be transmitted before the program change.

Here’s how to transmit a program change message on the current channel (p. 42).

1

Use the [

] [

] buttons to move the cursor to “PGM CHANGE”

in the display.

The display will show the program change number that was transmitted most
recently.

2

Use the [VALUE] knob to specify the desired program change
number.

The program change message will be transmitted.

If you want to use the [VALUE] knob to switch the bank number, set the System setting
“FUNCTION” to “BANK LSB” or “BANK MSB.”

* For details, refer to “[VALUE] knob Settings” (p. 68).

Here’s how to transmit bank select (MSB, LSB) messages.

1

Use the [

] [

] buttons to move the cursor to “USER ASSIGN” in

the display.

The display will show the bank select number that was transmitted most recently.

2

Use the [VALUE] knob to specify the desired bank select number.

Bank select (MSB, LSB) messages will be transmitted.

Selecting Sounds (PROGRAM CHANGE/BANK)

Program change and bank select

By using program change messages in conjunction with bank select messages, MIDI
allows you to select among more than 128 sounds.

To switch to a sound that has the same bank number as the currently selected sound,
simply transmit a program change message.

To switch to a sound that has a different bank number, you’ll need to transmit a bank
number and a program number. The bank number is transmitted using two MIDI
messages: control change 0 (MSB) and control change 32 (LSB). To actually switch
sounds, transmit the bank number (MSB), bank number (LSB), and finally the program
number, in that order.
