®ÂØÒÅÎ Supplemental Notes External Sequencing with the MC-505
The sounds in the MC-505 can be selected via MIDI by
using bank select and program change messages. Some
computer based sequencers have patch lists or tem-
plates available for various products. These templates
allow you to select from a list of patch names, and will
then send out the appropriate messages for you. You
should check with the manufacturer of your particular
sequencer to see if they have a MC-505 template avail-
able. If not, you must enter the proper bank select and
program change messages manually to choose a sound.
Selecting Different Banks of Sounds
Bank select messages are comprised of 2 Continuous
Controller (CC) messages. A continuous controller is a
message that is defined in the MIDI specification -
Volume (CC7), Panning (CC10), Modulation (CC1), and
Hold (CC64) are common CCs. Controller 0 and 32 are
used to select banks of sounds. Some sequencers com-
bine these controllers into a single bank select number.
See figure 3 for these values.
Selecting Patches via MIDI
If you look at the Patch Listing on pages 192-195 of the
Owners Manual, you will notice that each patch has an
associated PC, CC0, and CC32 value. You can usually
insert these messages in the event list editor of your
sequencer to be played back with your song. If you use
this method, insert some space between each message
(a few clock pulses should be fine). Use the chart in fig-
ure 4 to determine the correct Bank Select values for
selecting patches in the MC-505. Here is an example:
To select "P A:071 Robo Voice" send:
Message: CC00 then CC32 then PC
Value: 81 0 71
Selecting Rhythm Sets via MIDI
The rhythm sets in the MC-505 are assigned to MIDI
channel 10. There is a list of the rhythm sets on pages
196-202 in your Owners Manual. Use the chart in fig-
ure 5 to select rhythm kits. Here is an example:
To select "P:05 Techno 1" send:
Message: CC00 then CC32 then PC
Value: 81 0 5
