Using the PC-80 as a MIDI controller keyboard
You can select sounds on your MIDI sound module by transmitting Program Change messages
to it. If you want to select a sound from a different bank, first transmit a Bank Select message to
switch banks. Then transmit a Program Change message.
* You must transmit the Bank Select message before the Program Change message.

Transmitting Program Change and Bank Select Massages
What are banks?
MIDI sound modules organize their numerous sounds into groups called “banks.”
Program Change messages select sounds only within the same bank. However, by using Bank
Select messages in conjunction with Program Change messages, you can access a much larger
range of sounds.
* The way in which sounds are organized will depend on the sound module. For details, refer to the owner’s
manual for your sound module.
