•
The folder is selected with the Bank Select Message (Bank MSB and LSB) and
the song is selected with the program change (PC).
•
Each of the 128 values of Bank MSB value can have 128 folders as selected by
the value of Bank LSB. This gives a potential of 128 MSB x 128 LSB = 16,384
different folders with 128 songs each.
•
The order of the folders / songs are sorted by the BeatBuddy Manager.
• The order of the folders / songs corresponds to the number used by the MIDI
me1. Remember computer nerds start with 0.
•
This means that Program Change Message must have a value of 0 to play the
first song in the menu.
Now let's try one last one on your own. Let's say you send CC:0 value 2, CC:32
value 2, and PC:50. Come on at least try! 16,384x2 + 128x2 +50. Don't forget your
dear Aunt Sally...
Wow, you got it, how did you do that... that's right it is 220174!
This is the basis for how MSB and LSB math works. Many devices, however, will
use MSB and/or LSB to select folders and the PC command to select something
like a patch or a sound on a keyboard, for example. Some MSB and LSB layers
could be defined to access specific folders in the keyboard,
check out this
calculator for MSB and LSB changes as reference.
This is similar to how the BeatBuddy uses MSB and LSB, read below to learn
about how the BeatBuddy uses MSB and LSB.
Folder/Song Select on the BeatBuddy using MSB and LSB
A more specific example of using the MSB and LSB commands is when selecting
songs on the Singular Sound BeatBuddy. Please take note, the BeatBuddy does
not create a giant sum value from the MSB LSB and PC commands, it only uses
the MSB and LSB commands to select the folder and subfolder, and then the PC
command selects the song in the sub-folder.
So...
MSB = Folder full of 128 folders
LSB = Sub-folder in the folder
PC = Song in the sub-folder
You can select a BeatBuddy folder and song with the MIDI Bank Select and
Program Change (PC) messages.
