Descriptions of Parameters
Setup Editor Parameters
5-5
Bank Mode
Determines what type of bank-select message, if any, the zone sends when you select the setup.
A value of
None
prevents the zone from sending a bank-select message. If the value is
0
, the zone
sends a MIDI 0 message, with a value equal to the ID of the current bank. If the value is
32
, the
zone sends a MIDI 32 message with a value equal to the ID of the current bank. Values of
0
and
32
enable you to select banks numbered from 0-127.
If the value of Bank Mode is
0/32
, the zone sends both MIDI 0 and MIDI 32, combined as a single
value. This enables you to select banks numbered from 0-16,383. Since many of today’s MIDI
instruments respond to this form of bank-select message (as recommended by the MIDI
specification),
0/32
is the value of Bank Mode in each zone of the default setup.
There are two other values for Bank Mode:
K2000
and
K1000
. These enable you to send bank-
select and program-change commands to older Kurzweil instruments, which use a different
system for numbering programs. The manuals for these instruments explain the numbering
system thoroughly.
The function of this parameter depends on the setting of the Dest parameter in the MIDI Xmit
menu. If the current zone’s setting for Dest is
Local
, the zone doesn’t send a bank-select
command to the MIDI Out port when you select the setup, regardless of the setting for Bank
Mode.
Program ID Display Format (PNumDisp)
This parameter is primarily a convenience for when you’re sending MIDI to other instruments or
to a sequencer. If you’re using the PC1 by itself, there’s no need to edit this parameter.
Different MIDI instruments and sequencers refer to program numbers differently: some start
counting at 0, and others start at 1. Still others arrange them in groups of 8, with the first digit (or
letter) denoting the group, and the second digit denoting the number within the group.
PnumDisp lets you display program numbers in the same format as the receiving MIDI
equipment. It doesn’t change the outgoing MIDI information in any way; it just makes it easier
for you select the desired programs on the receiving gear without having to convert the PC1’s
program ID into the receiving instrument’s format.
0–127
For instruments that start numbering IDs at 0 (the setting for each zone in the default
setup)
1–128
For instruments that start numbering IDs at 1
11–88
Compatible with many Roland instrumentss
A1–P8
For instruments that organize programs in groups of 8
