What is a bank?
MIDI sound modules organize their numerous sounds in various groups according to the
category of sound.
These groups are called
“banks.”
Program Change messages can only select sounds within the same bank, but by using these in
conjunction with Bank Select messages, you can select different variations of sound.
* The way in which sounds are organized will differ for each sound module. For details, refer to the owner’s
manual of the sound module you are using.
