218 Chapter 5 The Environment

In the pull-down menu to the right, labeled Bank Message, you can define the MIDI

events that are sent when you switch between the banks of the multi-instrument.

Different bank select formats are used by different MIDI instrument manufacturers—

please consult your instrument’s manual to see whether it supports bank select

messages and if so, what format it uses. With modern synths, there’s a good chance the

format will be one of the top items in the pull-down menu: either controller# 32 or

controller# 0. There are also presets to accommodate several of the more common

types of synth. If your synth doesn’t use one of the formats listed, check out the section

on defining your own bank select commands (see “Defining Custom Bank Selects” on

page 218).

Defining Custom Bank Selects

Logic provides 63 bank numbers (0 to 62) for each single standard instrument, multi-

instrument sub-channel, or mapped instrument. You can create custom lists, consisting

of as many events (of any kind, even SysEx) as you wish—for each of these banks.

Whenever you change the bank manually or send a standard bank change message

from Logic, the entire list for that bank will be transmitted to your synth.

If you need more than 63 banks for a particular MIDI device, use several instrument

Objects.

To set up custom bank select messages, first select the instrument, then choose

Options > Define Custom Bank Messages. A window similar to the Event List will open,

with a single, default, bank select message for banks 0 to 15. (The default used is a MIDI

controller #0 message, with a value equal to the bank number).

You can create MIDI events here in exactly the same way as in the Event Editor, by

cutting, copying, inserting, and editing. The only difference is that you enter the desired

bank number, rather than a time position.

The letter in parentheses next to the bank number allows you to control the order of

transmission, when a bank select requires more than one message.

As an example:

1 2 ... 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 ... 729 730
