Sending program change messages
to external devices (PG)
This function allows you to transmit program change
and bank select messages ("memory selection clusters")
on the fly. These are MIDI messages that cause an exter-
nal instrument or device to select a different memory
(i.e. another sound or effect).
NOTE
The PK-6 memorizes the last program change number sent in
each of the following modes: MONO, POLY, DRUM, MIDI CON-
TROLLER, but it will cancel these settings when it is switched
off. You can save these settings so that they will still be avai-
lable the next time the power is turned on. To save the setting,
proceed as described in "Saving the settings (Write Function)"
auf S. 23.
The PG function transmits the following messages as a
group:
Bank Select messages (CC00 and CC32)
Bank select messages are used to select sound banks
(if the receiving instrument contains several banks).
These messages must be transmitted before a pro-
gram change message to be effective.
Program Change messages (PC)
Program change messages allow you to select up to
128 memories on a remote MIDI device.
To transmit a memory selection cluster:
1.
Press the [SHIFT] footswitch to activate
Shift mode (secondary footswitch func-
tions).
