A True Program Change That Also Selects A Bank Is Composed of (3) MIDI Messages

To change MIDI programs and banks, three MIDI messages must be sent: a Bank Select MSB message, a Bank Select LSB message, and a Program Change message. Together these messages select a specific program within a bank. The document provides the specific Bank Select MSB and LSB values that correspond to each of the 16 banks in "Korg Bank Mode", which is recommended. For example, to select program D025, the messages CC 000 "000", CC032 "003", and Program Change 025 would be sent in that order.

How to use midi

For those of you unfamiliar with changing banks (and programs) through MIDI, there is more to
it than just sending a Program Change Message.

A true program change that also selects a bank is composed of (3) MIDI messages:

CC 000 nnn (Bank Select MSB – Most Significant Byte)


CC 032 nnn (Bank Select LSB – Least Significant Byte)
Prog Change nnn (MIDI Program Change message 0~127)
+ Parameter Guide, Page 136 for a complete description of how to send
bank changes for the two different “Bank Map” modes.

Here’s a bit of a rewrite, using “Korg” Bank Map Mode (which is what you should probably use):

 MSB (CC 000) LSB (CC 032)


 Bank A 000 000
 Bank B 000 001
 Bank C 000 002
 Bank D 000 003
 Bank E 000 004
 Bank F 000 005
 Bank G(0) 121 000
 Bank G(1) 121 001
 Bank G(2) 121 002
 Bank G(3) 121 003
 Bank G(4) 121 004
 Bank G(5) 121 005
 Bank G(6) 121 006
 Bank G(7) 121 007
 Bank G(8) 121 008
 Bank G(9) 121 009
 Bank G(Drum) 120 000

In other words, to select Program D025 from an external sequencer, you would send CC 000
“000” followed by CC032 “003” followed by Program Change 025.

Sets the volume and the panning (localizes sound image) for each of the Tones.
The Volume setting is mainly used when multiple tones are playing to obtain the desired
balance in volume between each layer.
The Pan setting positions the sound image of each layer when the output is in stereo. With an
increase in the value for L, more of the sound will be heard as coming from the left side.
Similarly, more of the sound will originate at the right if the value of R is increased. When set to
0, the sound is heard as coming from the center.
