MIDI Program Changes
El Capistan contains 300 preset locations, numbered sequentially from
0-299� Because MIDI Program Change messages have a maximum
number of 128 (0-127), the presets are grouped into three MIDI patch
banks�
MIDI BANK 0 = PRESETS 0-127
MIDI BANK 1 = PRESETS 128-255
MIDI BANK 2 = PRESETS 256-299

127 Manual mode (“knobs”)
NOTE: Some MIDI applications and controllers start with MIDI Program
Change 1 instead of 0� In these setups, increment the MIDI Program Change
locations above by one�
El Capistan always powers up in MIDI Patch Bank 0, so if you plan to
stay within the first 127 presets, simply send a standard MIDI Program
Change message to load a preset�
If you will be using MIDI Banks 1 and/or 2, it is advisable to send a
standard MIDI Bank Change message (MIDI CC# 0 with a value equal
to the MIDI Bank#) before each MIDI Program Change�
Selecting bank 0, patch 127 will put El Capistan into Manual mode� In
this mode, the pedal will be set to the current knob and switch set-
tings� No preset data can be stored at this preset location�
