Program Change messages
The 788 can receive MIDI Program Change mes-
sages to change the effect settings (“Effects” on
page 81), the routing patterns stored in a library
(“Routing libraries” on page 91) or scenes (“Scene
libraries” on page 92).
It cannot transmit Program Change messages.
NOTE
Scene memories cannot be changed while the transport is
moving. The transport must be stopped for these Program
Change messages to have any effect.
MIDI Bank Select messages are used to distinguish
between preset and user libraries.
The MIDI channel number is used to determine what
setting will be changed on receipt of a Program
Change message.
Note that channel dynamic processors 1 through 7-8
are controlled through MIDI channels 1 through 7
(channel 7 handles the dynamics processor for chan-
nels 7-8).
If two channels are linked as a stereo pair, MIDI Pro-
gram Change messages for either channel of the pair
will affect the effect assigned to the pair.
Enabling/disabling Program Change
You can enable or disable the way that the 788
responds to Program Change, as explained here.
The 788 can be set to respond to Program Change
messages for the mixer (channels 15 and 16), for the
effects (1 through 12), both, or neither.
