The most unique of MIDI events are undoubtedly the System Exclusive messages. These are used to trans-

mit specific parameter settings.

All these event types can be recorded and then processed with practically any hard or software sequencer.

The exact procedure for this depends on the specific sequencer. Entering these events manually in the EDIT

mode is often recommended, and sometimes unavoidable.

The most important event types for the Setup data are Program Change and Controller events. This is where

the CS2x is leading the pack, as all controller types can be sent via MIDI to the external sequencer (and

recorded there) via its knobs. More specialised parameter control however requires the use of System Exclu-

sive messages.

All other remaining event types only play a part during the recording of the musical events, although Pitch

Bend or Aftertouch settings can occasionally be used as pre-emptive sound settings.

Bank and Program Selection

Sounds for the Multi Parts are chosen with the Bank and Program Change commands. These are inserted

into the first bar of every sequencer track via these three events:.

Bank Select (MSB) Control 0 Bank Select

Bank Select (LSB) Control 32 Bank Number

Program Change Program

You will notice that a combination of two event types are used - two MIDI Controllers and a Program Change.

These three events must occur during sequencer playback in the order given. If further Program changes

are required after such a Bank and Program change command, and if the desired Programs are in the same

bank as the one chosen previously, a simple PROGRAM CHANGE command can be inserted

If you are unsure how bank and program selections are performed in your particular sequencer program, this

might help:

Set your sequencer to Record/Start. Now select the CS2x Preset Performance 001 and then press the PRE-

SET button. Finally, stop the sequencer and call up the Edit mode. The resulting event list should look like

this:

Number

Value

Control 0 63 BankSelMSB

Control 32 64 BankSelLSB

Program 1

The Bank/Program selection will only occur within the CS2x when the bar containing those three events is

replayed by the sequencer.

Detailed descriptions of how to enter bank and program changes in LOGIC and CUBASE can be found in

chapter “Sequencer Software and the CS2x”.

Turning off Multi Parts

If your CS2x is only part of your MIDI equipment, you will probably want it to only respond to certain MIDI

channels. To do this, you can disable individual Parts at the machine: Select UTILITY Rcx-Ch., then use the

PART/LAYER button to select a MIDI channel for each part or switch it OFF (OFF appears after Ch.16 on the

display).
