Program change, Bank select
Program change [Cn, pp] 
(n: channel, pp: program number)
When you switch programs, a program change message with a program 
number for the corresponding program 1–128 (A11–B88) will be transmit-
ted. 
If you want program changes to be transmitted and received, set the MIDI 
FLT page “PROG CHG” to ENABLE. If this is set to DISABLE, program 
change messages will not be transmitted or received.
Bank select MSB (CC#00) [Bn, 00, mm]
Bank select LSB (CC#32) [Bn, 20, bb]
(n: channel, mm: bank number upper bytes, bb: bank number lower bytes)
When you switch programs in Play mode, Bank Select and Program 
Change messages are transmitted.
You can use Bank select and program change messages to switch the set-
tings of an individual timbre used by a program to the settings of another 
timbre, one used by a different program. These messages are received on 
the MIDI channel of the timbre selected by TIMBRE SELECT.
Pitch bend
Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm]
(n: channel, bb: lower digits of value, mm: upper digits of value)
When pitch bend change messages are received, a pitch bend will occur 
according to the PITCH page “P.BEND” value. Pitch bend can also be used 
in a Virtual Patch (PATCH1–PATCH6 page) for a synth program, as a mod-
ulation source for a vocoder program (VC FILT page), or as a control 
source for a effect parameters. In this case, the message will act as a mod-
ulation source where mm=64, bb=00 will be 0 (center value) for the range 
of –127 – +127. (This message is received on the timbre channel.)
When you move the [PITCH] wheel on the microKORG XL, pitch bend 
change messages are transmitted on the Global MIDI channel. 
If you want pitch bend changes to be transmitted and received, set the MIDI 
FLT page “P.BEND” to ENABLE. If this is set to DISABLE, pitch bend 
change messages will not be transmitted or received.
Control changes
Control changes [Bn, cc, vv] 
(n: channel, cc: control change no., vv: value)
When you use knobs [1]–[3] to edit certain parameters, or when you oper-
ate certain buttons or the [MOD] wheel, the assigned control change will be 
transmitted. Conversely, when control change numbers corresponding to 
the knob [1]–[3] settings are received, the corresponding controller or 
parameter will be controlled.
If you want control changes to be transmitted and received, set the MIDI 
FLT page “CTRL CHG” to Enable. If this is set to Disable, control change 
messages will not be transmitted or received.
NOTE
Use the CC MAP page to assign control change messages to parame-
ters.
Modulation depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]
When a modulation depth message is received, the LFO2 vibrato depth will 
change according to the value specified for PITCH “VIB INT.” If the value of 
the received message is the maximum value (127), vibrato will be applied 
over the full pitch range specified by “VIB INT.” If the value of the received 
message is 0, no vibrato will apply.
When you move the microKORG XL’s [MOD] wheel, modulation depth 
messages are transmitted on the Global MIDI channel.
Volume (CC#07) [Bn, 07, vv]
If you assign the control change Volume (CC#07) to “LEVEL” in the CC 
MAP page, incoming Volume messages will control the volume.
Panpot (CC#10) [Bn, 0A, vv]
If you assign the control change Panpot (CC#10) to “PANPOT” in the CC 
MAP page, incoming Panpot messages will control the stereo position of 
the sound.
