Transmitting a program change message to an external device

3. Set the MIDI receive channel on the external
device to “13”.
See its manual for details. If you are unable to
change the receiver’s MIDI channel, set the FR-3x’s
control channel to match the external instrument’s
“RX” channel. See “Control Channel TX” on p. 60.
4. Press and hold the [ORGAN/ORCHESTRA]
register and press register [5] (SEND PC).
5. Use treble registers [1]~[0] to enter the
“SPC” number.
You may have to look in the owner’s manual of the
module or synthesizer you are controlling to find
out which number you need to transmit for the
sound (or memory) you want to select. You can
enter any number from “1” to “512”.
See the following table for how to enter numbers.
If you enter a number between “129” and “256”,
the FR-3x transmits the CC00 and CC32 value pro-
grammed for memory 2. The program change
number, on the other hand will always be a num-
ber between “1” and “128”.
Example: if you enter “130” for the “SPC” parame-
ter, the FR-3x enters program change number “2”
(see the table above).
NOTE
The [0] register acts as “0” here. To enter “502”, for example,
press registers [5], [0], and [2].
6. If necessary, press the [SET] register to erase
the last entry you made.
If you entered “55”, for example, while the second
figure should have been a “2”, press [SET] once (so
that the display indicates “--5” again), then press
register [2] (“-52”).
Note: The FR-3x uses a smart entry system: after entering “52”
(or “53”, “54”, “55”,… “59”), you can’t add a third figure,
because the highest number supported by the SEND PC func-
tion is “512”.
7. Press the [ORGAN/ORCHESTRA] register to
transmit the CC00, CC32 and PC messages.
