Prog Change — Program Change
This switch controls how the SQ-R handles MIDI program change messages.
• OFF — the SQ-R will not transmit or receive MIDI program changes.
• ON — the SQ-R will transmit and receive program changes over MIDI.
Important: Program changes are numbered and displayed from 001 to 128 in the SQ-R, iji
though to comply with the MIDI specification they are transmitted and received as 0'
000-127. fj
Receiving Program Changes |:
The way in which the SQ-R receives program changes is slightly more complex '[)•
than some other systems because the number of sounds that are available to be !
selected from MIDI is larger than the number of program change messages
available within the MIDI standard. To solve this problem, the SQ-R uses the last
four program change numbers (125 to 128) to control how subsequent program it
changes will be interpreted. The following chart shows the effect of these four rt
special program changes:
After Program Subsequent program changes
Change:
. ■ will select:
125 000..079 - INT Sounds
126 000..079 - ROM Sounds
127 000..079 - CARD A Sounds
128 000..079 - CARD B Sounds
These special "control" program changes need to be sent only once. When the
SQ-R receives. All subsequent program changes will be handled according to the
range that was set by the last one received.
Note: Program Changes 080-099 will always select the default Drum kits.
The SQ-R has one other method of switching banks, the MIDI Bank controller.
See Section 3 — Presets for more details.
Selecting a New Preset Effect from MIDI (Program Change 124)
There is another special program change, recognized only in MULTI mode which
is used to select both a sound and its effect for one of the eight preset tracks.
When program change 124 is received on a channel assigned to a preset track, the
next program change received on that track will select a new sound and also
install the effect from that sound into the preset effect. This is the only way to ****
change the preset effect other than manually editing the settings or selecting a new
preset. This can be useful when controlling the SQ-R from an external
sequencer.
This special program change 124 does not change the way in which other
program changes are received, including the other special messages. If the sound
^ you wish to select also requires a special control program change, then send the
control message immediately after the 124 followed by the program number you
want to select.
