Accessing Panel Voices on a PSR620 via MIDI

Accessing Panel Voices on a PSR620 via MIDl requires that System Exclusive (''SysEx'') banks be added to the MIDI file.
NOTE: This information should be transferable to other sequencing applications, as it explains the SysEx command for accessing Panel Voices via MIDI.

In Cakewalk with a MIDI file loaded:

1) Choose VIEW, then SYSX, then double-click on the first bank (Bank 0).

2) Enter the data stream: F0 43 76 1B 00 01 F7. The fifth byte (''00'') tells the PSR keyboard to play panel voices on MIDI Channel 1. Enter additional data streams for other MIDI channels. For Channel 2 the fifth byte is ''01''. For Channel 3 the fifth byte is ''02'', etc.

3) Next click on OK, then click on SEND. Close the Window.

4) Double-click on the Patch box for MIDI Channel 1. Click on Assign Instruments, then assign MIDI Channel 1 to Generic (Patches 0-127). Click OK.

5) Enter 1 in the BANK box to access a Panel voice above 128, then enter 0-48 in the PATCH box to access voices 129-149 in the Panel Voice list. Click OK

NOTE: Enter nothing in the BANK box to access Panel voices 1-128. Entering 0-127 in the PATCH box will access Panel voices 1-128.

6) Click PLAY button
NOTE: These pre-made banks can be used if the sequencer program has the ability to load ''.syx'' files.
