Program

This selects an internal program to play on each zone. As you change the value of Program,

notice that MIDI Program and MIDI Bank match the local program and bank numbers (programs

1–127 fall into MIDI Bank 0, 128–255 fall into MIDI Bank 1, and so on—both MIDI Banks and

PC3A banks can hold 128 programs). If you want to transmit dierent program and bank

numbers over MIDI, highlight either MIDI Program or MIDI Bank and select a new value. Note

that changing the Program parameter again will reset both the MIDI Program and MIDI Bank

parameters to match the local program and bank numbers.

NOTE: MIDI Banks and PC3A banks are not the same, nor is there a direct one-to-one correspondence

between the two. As mentioned previously, programs 1–127 fall into MIDI Bank 0, programs 128–255 fall

into MIDI Bank 1, and so on; program IDs 1–128 fall into PC3A bank Base 1, programs 128–255 fall into

Base2, and so on (recall that the PC3A bank names are displayed in left-to-right order above their

corresponding Bank buttons above the sliders.) For example, program 127 Magic Celeste is in PC3A bank

Base 1 and it is Program 127 in MIDI Bank 0; and program 128 Drums ‘n Bells is in PC3A bank Base 1,

and it is Program 0 in MIDI Bank 1.
