Bank LSB

The Bank LSB function sends bank change messages on the MIDI Channels for all active Zones. These

messages are used to access additional banks of sound patches, if available, on virtual instruments or sound

modules.

Bank LSB messages may not have any effect until they are followed by a Program Change message. For more

information on Bank LSB messages, see Chapter 8, “MIDI Messages Defined.”

Refer to the documentation for the virtual instrument or synthesizer to confirm it will respond to these

messages.

To set a Bank LSB number:

1 Press the Edit button.

2 Press the Bank LSB key. The LCD screen will display the current function (“LSB”), the current active

keyboard Zone (for example “z1”) and last sent Bank LSB number (for example, “0”).

3 Enter the new Bank LSB number using the number keys.

4 Press the Enter key.

Bank MSB

The Bank MSB function sends bank change messages on the MIDI Channels for all active Zones. These mes-

sages are used to access additional banks of sound patches, if available, on virtual instruments or sound mod-

ules.

Bank MSB messages may not have any effect until they are followed by a Program Change message. For more

information on Bank MSB messages, see Chapter 8, “MIDI Messages Defined.”

Refer to the documentation for the virtual instrument or synthesizer to confirm it will respond to these mes-

sages.

To set a Bank MSB Number:

1 Press the Edit button.

2 Press the Bank MSB key. The LCD screen will display the current function (“MSB”), the current active key-

board Zone (for example “z1”) and last sent Bank MSB number (for example, “1”).

3 Enter the new Bank MSB number using the number keys.

4 Press the Enter key.

When a patch is stored, the Bank LSB, Bank MSB, and Program values for each active Zone are saved.

When the patch is recalled, this data is sent out on the active Zone channels to set up the correct

instrument sound for each Zone.

If this is undesirable, please ensure the Zone button (“Zone Button” on page 14) is de-activated when

recalling the patch.
