The

FX900

makes

it

possible

to

select

specific

programs

via

external

MIDI

control.

You

can

set

up

the

FX900,

for

example,

so

that

when

you

select

a

voice

on

a

synthesizer

the

most

appropriate

effect

for

that

voice

is

automatically

selected.

This

is

accomplished

because

each

time

you

select

a

voice

on

your

MIDI

synthesizer

it

transmits

the

corresponding

MIDI

PROGRAM

CHANGE

NUMBER.

The

FX900

receives

this

PROGRAM

CHANGE

NUMBER

and

selects

the

effect

program

that

you

have

assigned

to

it

using

the

Program

Change

Table

Edit

function

which

will

be

described

below.

A

more

convenient

idea

for

guitarists

or

bassists

would

be

to

use

a

MIDI

foot

controller

such

as

the

Yamaha

MFC05

to

transmit

the

required

MIDI

PROGRAM

CHANGE

NUMBERs.

The

FX900

actually

can

be

programmed

with

four

completely

independent

sets

of

MIDI

PROGRAM

CHANGE

NUMBER/MEMORY

NUMBER

assignments.

Each

of

these

is

contained

in

a

different

"bank":

A,

B,

C

or

D.

Each

BANK

may

also

be

programmed

to

receive

on

a

different

MIDI

channel.

The

four

banks

may

be

programmed

with

different

receive

channels

using

the

Program

Change

Bank

Edit

function

described

below.

NOTE:

The

selected

program

change

assignment

table

also

determines

which

effect

program

is

selected

when

the

optional

FC900

Foot

Controller

is

used.

NOTE:

A

small

letter

"M"

will

appear

to

the

right

of

the

lower

display

line

when

MIDI

data

is

received

in

the

MEMORY

mode.

•

MIDI

SETUP

This

function

makes

it

possible

to

select

any

of

the

four

available

program

table

BANKs,

and

to

change

the

MIDI

receive

and

transmit

channel

for

each

BANK.
