The transport must be stopped for these ProgramChange messages to have any effect.MIDI Bank Select messages are used to distinguishbetween preset and user libraries.The MIDI channel number is used to determine whatsetting will be changed on receipt of a ProgramChange message. Note that channel dynamic processors 1 through 7-8are controlled through MIDI channels 1 through 7(channel 7 handles the dynamics processor for chan-nels 7-8).If two channels are linked as a stereo pair, MIDI Pro-gram Change messages for either channel of the pairwill affect the effect assigned to the pair.Enabling/disabling Program ChangeYou can enable or disable the way that the 788responds to Program Change, as explained here.The 788 can be set to respond to Program Changemessages for the mixer (channels 15 and 16), for theeffects (1 through 12), both, or neither.1 With the transport stopped, press the MENUkey.2 Use the dial to scroll down to the SYNC/MIDI menu and press ENTER.3 Use the dial to scroll down to the CONTROLmenu item and press ENTER.4 There are two tabs on this screen.
