Converting MIDI Files from a Korg i30 to a Tyros

A MIDI file created on a Korg i30 has a Bank MSB number at the beginning of almost every track. This number varies, but quite often 'silences' corresponding tracks on Yamaha XG intruments. See the steps below for solutions.
Method 1 - Change all Bank MSB Numbers to '0' using an External Sequencer:
  1. Using a MIDI sequencer or MIDI sequencing program, open the original Korg i30 song file.
  2. On each track, change the value of the very first Bank MSB number to '0' (zero).
Method 2 - Change all Bank MSB Numbers to '0' using the Tyros Sequencer:
  1. On the Tyros, select the desired Song.
  2. Press the [DIGITAL RECORDING] button.
  3. Press the [A] 'SONG CREATOR' button.
  4. Use the [BACK] and [NEXT] buttons to select the '1-16' page in the screen.
  5. Press the [F] 'CH' button to select a desired Channel (track).
  6. If 'Bank MSB' appears at the top, change the number on its immediate left to '0'.
    EXAMPLE: On track 13 of a song, the first line might read: 000:1:0000 Ctrl 0 56 Bank MSB The '56' would need to be changed to '0'.
    NOTE:If this data does not appear on any of the Tracks of the Tyros, press the [H] 'FILTER' button and make sure that 'SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGE (F0)' has check MARK next to it.
  7. Repeat steps 5 - 6 for the remaining 15 Tracks if necessary.
  8. Once all Tracks have been changed, save the Song.
