EDIT I
This function makes it possible to create original titles for pro
grams you edit and store in memory locations 51 through 00.
Thè TITLE EDIT function is the first one to appear when the
UTILITY button is pressed. The "TITLE EDIT” function name
appears on the bottom line of the LCD, and an underline
cursor appears at the first character position on the top line.
The MEMORY and STORE buttons are used to move the
cursor back and forth, while the and buttons are used to
select a new character for the current cursor position. Simply
move the cursor to each character position in turn, selecting the
appropriate characters at each position.
The available characters are as follows:
/MIDI BANK & CHANNEL ASSIGNMEt^
The GEP50 makes it possible to select specific programs via
external MIDI control. You can set up the GEP50, for example,
so that when you select a voice on your synthesizer the most
appropriate effect for that voice is automatically selected.
This is accomplished because each time you select a voice on
your MIDI synthesizer it transmits the corresponding MIDI
PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER. The GEP50 receives this
PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER and selects the effect program
that you have assigned to it using the MIDI PROG CHANGE
function which will be described below. The GEP50 also
accepts MIDI KEY ON EVENT messages to trigger some of the
gate effects, and MIDI KEY ON NUMBERS to set the PITCH
parameter of the Pitch A effect. The GEP50 actually can be
programmed with four completely independent sets of MIDI
PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER/MEMORY NUMBER assign
ments. Each of these is contained in a different “bank”: A, B, C
or D. Each BANK may also be programmed to receive on a
different MIDI channel. An example of the way the four banks
may be programmed with different receive channels and
program number/memory number assignments is given below:
