Assigning a MIDI Setup to the Style Play and Song Play
modes
Since SongBook entries dynamically recall the Style Play or the
Song Play modes,
it is advisable to assign them the same MIDI
Setup, or two different MIDI Setups with the Control channel
assigned to the same MIDI channel.
This way, the same MIDI
channel will be used to select a SongBook entry in either the
Style Play or Song Play mode.
When one of the operating modes is recalled, the MIDI Setup
memorized in the Style Play Setup or in the Song Play Setup will
be automatically selected, and MIDI channels will be automati-
cally configured.
To assign a MIDI Setup to each of the two operating modes:
• In Style Play mode, go to the Style Play > Preferences > Style
Setup page, and select a MIDI Setup. Select the Write Global-
Style Setup command from the page menu.
• In Song Play mode, go to the Song Play > Preferences > Gen-
eral Control page, and select the same MIDI Setup assigned to
the Style Play mode. Select the Write Global-Song Play Setup
command from the page menu.
Selecting SongBook entries via MIDI
When you are ready to remotely select SongBook entries, switch
to the Style Play or Song Play mode.
At this point, Pa2X must receive on the special Control channel
the NRPN Control Change messages #99 (MSB, with value 2)
and #98 (LSB, with value 64) in fast succession, as an initializa-
tion string. This string must be sent only once, unless another
NRPN control is sent on the same MIDI channel before selecting
a different SongBook entry.
After the initialization string has been sent, you must send the
selection string, made of two Control Change messages: CC#06
(Data Entry MSB) for the thousands and hundreds, and CC#38
(Data Entry LSB) for the tens and units. The range of the Data
Entry controls, in this case, is 0~99 (instead of the typical
0~127).
The following examples show some typical situations.
• Send the following string to select SongBook entry #77:
• Send the following string to select SongBook entry #100:
• Send the following string to select SongBook entry #2563:
Initialization string (CC#99, 98)
Thousands and hundreds (00xx)
Tens and units (xx77)
Initialization string (CC#99, 98)
Thousands and hundreds (01xx)
Tens and units (xx00)
Initialization string (CC#99, 98)
Thousands and hundreds (25xx)
Tens and units (xx63)
