Program Change

[marco.calegher]

hello,
I bought EZkeys Classic Electrics and EZkeys Grand Piano.
I Use Brainspawn Forte Enseble as vst host software.
I’d need to change piano by using midi program change.
For exemple I want to switch from preset 2 of library 200A Electric to preset 3 of Grand piano library. What is the program change that I have to send?

ex.
– Preset 2 Electric 200A library = Bank 0, Program 2
– Preset 3 Grand piano library = Bank 1, Program 3

I did some tests and even if I change the bank number it always brings me back to the library n ° 1 (Electric 200A)

awaiting answers

Thanks

Changing the Bank should indeed change the piano/EZK,
while the Program change selects a preset within the EZK.
At least that is the intended behaviour.

Thank you.
However I do not know qualsi are the bank numbers.
libraries appear in this order
  – Electric 200A
  – Electric Mark I
  – Grand Piano

   so it should be
  – Electric 200A – Bank 0
  – Electric Mark I – Bank 1
  – Grand Piano – Bank 2

If I send a program change for example Bank 2 – Program 2 instead to call the Grand Piano library to return library Electric 200A.
how can I do?

no reply?
I’ll have a concert soon and I need this info.
I just need to know the value of LSB / MSB of the various preset libraries.

The Bank select MSB controls what Piano/EZK is used. You simply
get the MSB:th entry in the Library menu. Just tried it and it works
as long as I have the ‘Allow MIDI Program Change’ entry in the,
errr, ‘Menu’ menu ticked.

Thank,
the ‘Allow MIDI Program Change’ is entry .
regardless of the number of bank always brings me back to the first library (Electric 200A)

libraries appear in this order
– Electric 200A
– Electric Mark I
– Grand Piano

so it should be
– Electric 200A – Bank 0
– Electric Mark I – Bank 1
– Grand Piano – Bank 2

If I send a program change for example Bank 2 – Program 2 instead to call the Grand Piano library to return library Electric 200A.
how can I do?
