→ When connecting a unit in the Roland MT series, you don’t
need to switch off Local Control. MT units transmit Local Off
messages when their power is switched on. First turn on the
power to the KR105, then after a few moments, play a note on
the KR105; when you turn on the power to the MT Series
device, Local Off is automatically enabled for the KR105.
■ Sending Tone Change Messages
(Program Change/Bank Select
MSB/Bank Select LSB)
A Program Change is a message that means “change to the
Tone of the specified number.” The device that receives this
changes to the Tone of the corresponding number.
When you choose a Program Change message (Program
Number), the Program Number will be transmitted to the
MIDI device connected to the KR105. The MIDI device that
receives the Program Number changes the tone to the
corresponding Program Number.
Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones available.
Some MIDI devices, however, have more than 128 Tones.
With such devices, the Tone is selected through a
combination of Program Change messages and Bank Select
messages. There are two parts of a Bank Select message: the
MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127) and the LSB
(Controller 32, with a value of 0–127).
* Some MIDI instruments can’t handle Bank Select messages.
Others can handle Bank Selects, but do not recognize the LSB
part.
Sending Recorded
Performance Data to a MIDI
Device (Composer MIDI Out)

computer.
When you turn on the power, this is set to “OFF” (data is not
