●[10] PRG CHANGE
To send a program change number, press the
PRG CHANGE selector [10]; the corresponding
indicator lights.
Use the pedals to enter the desired PC number:
to send the program number “68”, press pedals
[6] and [8] in succession. Then press [B] (ENTER)
to confirm the operation. All indicators briefly
light to confirm your selection.
If you pressed the wrong pedal while specifying
the number, you can cancel your input by
pressing pedal [A] (CANCEL).
If you wish to send the previously-entered pro-
gram change number again, simply press the
PRG CHANGE selector [10] and pedal [B]
(ENTER). All indicators briefly light to confirm
your selection.
Note: If a program change number higher than “128” is
entered, the PK-5A sends the previously-entered (cor-
rect) number when pedal [B] (ENTER) is pressed.
●MIDI program changes & Bank Select mes-
sages (CC00 & CC32)
You can also add Bank Select information
(CC00 and CC32) to the program change num-
bers you transmit.
(1) Press the PRG CHANGE selector [10] (indica-
tor lights).
(2) Press pedal [C] to select the MSB/LSB func-
tion.
The indicator of the POLY mode now flashes.
(3) Use the pedals to enter the value for CC00.
Example: To set the CC00 (MSB) value to “127”,
press [1], [2] and [7].
(4) Confirm by pressing pedal [B] (ENTER).
The PK-5A now expects you to input a value for
CC32 (LSB). Repeat steps (3) and (4).
Note: If you pressed the wrong pedal while specifying
the number, you can cancel your input by pressing
pedal [A] (CANCEL).
Note: If you only need to enter a CC00 value, confirm it
by pressing [B] twice (so as to skip the CC32 value).
Note: If a value higher than “127” is entered, the PK-5A
uses the previously-entered (correct) value for CC00
when pedal [B] (ENTER) is pressed.
(5) After entering (or skipping) the CC32 value,
you need to specify the program change
number to be transmitted along with the
MSB (and LSB) value(s).
See “[10] PRG CHANGE” for details. All indica-
tors briefly light to confirm your selection.
The entire operation sequence can be summa-
rized as follows:
(1) CC00: selector [10]
→ [C]→ use the pedals
to enter the value → [B] (Enter) (or [A] (Cancel))
(2) CC32*: use the pedals to enter the value →
[B] (Enter) (or [A] (Cancel))
(* Press [B] again to skip the CC32 value.)
(3) PRG: use the pedals to enter the program
number
→ [B] (Enter) (or [A] (Cancel))
●[11] MIDI CHANNEL
To select a MIDI channel (1~16), press the MIDI
CHANNEL selector [11] (indicator lights).
Use the pedals to enter the MIDI channel you
wish to set. Example: to specify channel “15”,
press [1] and [5]. Then press pedal [B] (ENTER) to
confirm the operation. All indicators briefly
light to confirm your selection.
Note: If you pressed the wrong pedal while specifying
the number, you can cancel your input by pressing
pedal [A] (CANCEL).
Note: To return to the default MIDI channel (“14” in
POLY mode), press the MIDI CHANNEL selector [11] and
pedal [C]. All indicators briefly light to confirm your
selection.
Note: If a MIDI channel number higher than “16” is
erroneously selected, the PK-5A will exit this function
when pedal [B] (ENTER) is pressed.
