Controlling the SD-80 via MIDI

Switching sounds

You can switch the sound (instrument) for each of the SD-80’s parts by transmitting MIDI messages from
sequencer software running on your computer.
Sounds are specified by their

Variation number

and

Instrument number

, but the way in which these

numbers are displayed may differ depending on your software. On the SD-80, variation numbers start
from 0, and instrument numbers start from 1.
The variation number corresponds to the MIDI bank number, and the instrument number corresponds to
the MIDI program number.

How to read the instrument list

The sounds (instruments) built into the SD-80 are listed in the instrument list provided for each sound
generator mode.

"Instrument list (GM2 / Native mode)"

(p. 95)

"Instrument list (GS mode)"

(p. 101)

"Instrument list (XGlite mode)"

(p. 103)

Two numbers are used to specify a sound; the

Instrument number

and the

Variation number

. Sounds

whose variation number is 000 are “

capita

l” sounds, and sounds whose variation number is other than

000 are “

variation

” sounds.

Each instrument list shows the

instrument number

,

variation number

, and the

name of the sound

.
