The MM-1 can transmit andreceive 00 through 98. Each instrument interprets theProgram Change command in its own way; for example,a Roland synthesizer receiving an "00" command maygo to its patch" A-1 "; a Yamaha synthesizer receiving a"33" command may go to its patch "Cartridge 01".Many synthesizers have only 64 patches; they may ignorepatch commands above 64. Experiment with your setupand read your owner's manuals to take best advantage ofthe patch change featu reoCHANGING SCENES VIA EXTERNAL MIDI COMMANDSJust as we used the MM-1 to send commands to thesynthesizer, a synthesizer can send commands to theMM-1 to recall scenes.Hookup1.
