These two digits display the number of the memory bank called up for 
programming or recall.  The 13 available banks range from 00 to 12.  The bank is 
the first two digits of the MIDI program number. 
 

2.  PROG/ PATCH Display Digit 

This digit displays the number of the patch called up for programming or recall.  
The patches in banks 00 through 11 range from 0 to 9.  The patches in bank 12 
range from 0 to 7.  The patch number is the third digit of the MIDI program
