Now when you call up the setup, it will send a program change to your second keyboard, but
since the note map for that zone (and therefore MIDI channel) is turned off, no note information
is sent to the external keyboard when you play your keyboard.
You can use this technique to send program changes to any device, like an effects processor or
sequencer. You can also use the same technique for zones assigned to the PC1 itself! Let’s say you
have two keyboards. On the PC1 keyboard, you want to play an internal program or programs
(up to three). On your external keyboard, you want to play its own sounds and also play a
program from the PC1. But your external keyboard doesn’t have the abilities the PC1 has for
calling up different programs. So you create a zone in the PC1 setup to call up the internal sound
you want, but set the Note Map for that zone to Off. So when you call up the setup, it chooses the
sound you want to be played from the external keyboard, but the PC1 won’t play that zone.
Preventing Program Changes on Slaves
You might want a slave instrument to play the same sound regardless of what the PC1 is playing,
or you might want to change programs from the slave’s own front panel. You can create setup
that sends note and controller information to the slave, but doesn’t transmit program change
messages.
1.
Create a two-zone setup. In the MIDI Xmit menu, set a value of
Local
for the Dest
parameter in Zone 1 and a value of
MIDI
for the Dest parameter in Zone 2.
2.
Make sure that Zone 2 is current. Press
Menu
, then find the Program menu and press
Enter
.
3.
Find the Entry Transmit parameter, and set its value to
Off
.
4.
Name and save this setup. Now when you select the setup from your keyboard, the
program-change message goes only to the PC1, although both instruments get note and
controller information.
Note
: There is another way to prevent program changes on slaves. Press the
Global
button, then press the
Right
cursor button until display shows ‘
’ If you set this parameter to Off, the PC1 will
not send program change messages to any external devices
