You can change either the Bank value or Program Change name at any time by pressing
the
CURSOR
button until the cursor is positioned on the value you wish to change. Turn
the
ROTARY DIAL
to change the selected value.
Section C-4
explains this procedure
in more detail.
1. Any Bank value between 0 and 127 may be selected.
2. Any General MIDI sound name may be selected and assigned to a piston. See
Section
E-4
later in this manual for a list of available General MIDI sound names.
Program Numbers:
With NUMBERS selected as the display mode, the 'MIDI PROG CHANGE' window
function will display:
With PRESET selected as the program change mode, press a General piston. The
Console Controller
window will display the same MIDI program change number as the
associated piston pressed. For example, pressing General Piston 1 will display:
The MIDI program change number will be displayed in PRESET mode, no matter if
NUMBERS or GEN MIDI is displayed. You must select USER mode to view the
GENERAL MIDI sound names. You must also select USER mode to assign MIDI
program change numbers larger than 5 (the largest number of the General pistons).
With USER selected as the program change mode, along with NUMBERS as the display
mode, you will be able to assign “- - -” (OFF) or any program change number from 1
through 128 to any General piston.
There may be a number or “- - -” following the “
P:”.
This “
P:
” represents the Program
Change Number and does not stand for PRESET in this window. If there is “- - -”
following “
P:
” this means that the “ZERO” Program Change Number will be sent from
the associated piston.
To change the program change numbers, press the
CURSOR
button until the flashing
cursor is positioned on the program change number value. Turn the
ROTARY DIAL
to
change the program number value.
Section C-4
explains this procedure in more detail.
Note:
The Allen Organ uses MIDI Program Change Zero as a message for "MIDI OFF."
Important!
MIDI Program Change 1 corresponds to the General MIDI sound "Acoustic
Grand Piano." Some MIDI devices do not use MIDI Program Change zero as MIDI
OFF. Consequently, Program Change Zero, (“- - -“
in the window
) when sent from the
organ, will correspond to Program Change 1 on those MIDI devices, MIDI Program
Change 1 will correspond to MIDI Program Change 2, etc. You must understand how
the connected MIDI device responds to MIDI program changes to know which program
change numbers to assign to a General piston to be able to get a selected voice on a given
MIDI device. Refer to the specific MIDI device’s owner’s manual for more information
about MIDI program change response.
