value 0–99 to select a bank and entry, or a pair of PCHs, the first having a value of 100–107 to
select a different 10-bank range.

QA 0–127

Finally, there’s the QA Bank format for use with older MIDI devices (program change
commands 0–127 only). It works similarly to the other QA formats, but the allowable range of
values is limited to 0–107.

QA Formats and MIDI Transmission

If you’re in Quick Access mode and you’re using one of the QA formats for the program change
type, selecting QA banks or bank entries from the K2661 (with the alphanumeric buttonpad, the
cursor buttons, the Alpha Wheel, the Plus/Minus buttons, or the Chan/Bank buttons) also sends
corresponding program change commands to the K2661’s MIDI Out port. The nature of these
commands depends on the value of the ProgChgType parameter. The K2661 sends either an MC
0 or 32 message followed by a PCH (when ProgChgType is QA Ext), or a pair of PCHs (when
ProgChgType is QA Kurz) or a single Program Change command (when ProgChgType is QA 0–
127
). The following tables give specific examples.
