Program Change Type For Use With:
Extended Bank changes and Program changes. A bank has 128 ids. Note
that our system will recognize 16 banks, from 0 to 15. (2048 ids).
This is for connecting a PC2 or a generic MIDI device as a controller
device.
K2600 Bank changes and Program changes. A bank has 100 ids. Our
system will recognize in this case 21 banks, from 0 to 20. For
example, with MIDI out from a K2600 into the MIDI in of a PC3K, if
you scroll or enter a number in the K2600 you will see the same
numbers in the K2600 and in the PC3K if the programs exist.
QAccess Other PC3Ks (or K2600s, K2500s or K2000s) similarly set, when in
