Event Listing 14

Patch, Normal, 2816, 39

In Listing 14, parameter 1 tells you this is a patch event. The fact that there are exactly three

more parameters tells you it is using a bank switching protocol. Parameter 2 tells you it uses the

Normal bank switching method. Parameter 3 tells you that your sequencer will extract from the

bank value of 2816 new values to set controller #0 to a value of 22 and controller #32 to a

value of 0. That means you are accessing SC-88 Pro sounds indirectly on unstable map 0.

Parameter 4 tells you it then calls PC 40.

Now we want to up the value of controller #32 to use stable map 3, so we get a listing like this:

Event Listing 15

Patch, Normal, 2819, 39

In Listing 15, parameter 1 tells you this is a patch event. The fact that there are exactly three

more parameters tells you it is using a bank switching protocol. Parameter 2 tells you it uses the

Normal bank switching method. Parameter 3 tells you it will use the bank value to set controller

#0 to a value of 22 and controller #32 to a value of 3. Now you are accessing SC-88 Pro

sounds directly on map 3. Parameter 4 tells you it then calls PC 40.

The difference between listing 14 & 15 is that listing 14 uses map 0 (extracting CC32 from

bank 2816), but listing 15 uses map 3 (extracting CC32 from bank 2819). Other than that, they

both call the exact same patch on the SC-88 Pro. But the huge difference between listing 14 &

15 is that listing 14 will call a different sound patch on the SC-2000 Super Pro or whatever they

name the 4th generation Sound Canvas. But listing 15 will call the SC-88 Pro sound on

every single 3rd generation or higher Sound Canvas there ever was or ever will be. And again

we did this without any SYSEX or Mode switching.

If you already use the Normal bank switching method, you are already accustomed to entering

strange numbers like 2816 instead of 22 to get variation 22 sounds. All you need to do when

you have completed your sequence is to add 3 to every SC-88 Pro native bank you used in

map 0. You can isolate them because all map 0 Normal bank numbers are evenly divisible by

128.

Use the following table to double check the bank values you used. Test and save the file and

you are done. Your file will sound correct on an SC-88 Pro and beyond.
