ihi Using the Program Change Function to Change the Timbre
^ The following is an example of how to connect the C-800 to the Symphony-
The Symphony has seven built-in timbres: Stringsl, Strings2, Chorus, Brass,
Bass/Guitar/Drums, Organl, and 0rgan2- We can think of these as being Symphony
MIDI program numbers 0 through 6- The C-800 also has six built-in timbres:
piano, harpsichord, organ, vibes, strings, and piano & strings. We can think
of these as being C-800 MIDI program numbers 0 through 5- Assuming the
"program change cancel” function (see page 00) is turned off, selecting a new
timbre(program) on the C-800 will send that program number to the Symphony,
thereby selecting the corresponding timbre. For example, pressing the HARPSI
switch on the C-800 will select the Strings 2 timbre on the Symphony.
However, if the C-800 is in multi mode with Part 1 or Part 2 selected, only
timbre numbers 0 through 4 may be sent to the Symphony.

Some Synthesizers Have Over 100 Built-In Timbres
When the C-800 is connected to a sound source with a larger number of timbres
than the C-800, the keyboard can be used to send the higher timbre numbers
needed to perform a program change. While holding down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE
switch, use the digit keys on the keyboard shown in the diagram below to enter
the timbre number. Timbres 0 through 99 are entered as a two-digit code-
Timbre 0 is entered as ”00”, 1 is entered as ”01”, and 99 as ”99”, etc. For
timbre numbers greater than 100, the last two digits are entered first,
followed by the digits ”100”. 100 is entered as "00100”, 101 is entered as
”01100”, and 127 as ”27100”. (The highest timbre number that can be sent is
127. ) Timbre numbers may be sent in this way even if program change cancel is
turned on.
