98 PRACTICAL GUIDE
Select the Sounds via the Performance
Change event
If the sequencer or master keyboard that you are using is not able to transmit the Bank
Select message (Control Change 0), it will not be possible to select Sounds with Program
Change numbers other than the type XXX-1 and, therefore, not the “variation” of the
basic Sounds.
You can, however, program your Performances accordingly, and select them with a
Performance Program Change message.
You must activate the M
IDI
-C
