MIDI PATCH CHANGES
Volante contains 300 preset locations, numbered sequentially from 0-299. Because MIDI Program Change
messages have a maximum number of 128 (0-127) the presets are grouped into three MIDI patch banks.
- MIDI BANK 0 = PRESETS 0-127
- MIDI BANK 1 = PRESETS 128-255
- MIDI BANK 2 = PRESETS 256-299
Volante always powers up in MIDI Patch Bank 0, so if you plan to stay within the first 127 presets, simply
send a standard MIDI Program Change message to load a preset.
If you will be using MIDI Banks 1 and/or 2, it is advisable to send a standard MIDI Bank Change message
(MIDI CC# 0 with a value equal to the MIDI Bank#) before each MIDI Program Change.
Selecting bank 0, patch 127 will put Volante into Manual mode. In this mode, the pedal will be set to the
current knob and switch settings. No preset data can be stored at this preset location.
