Pitch Bend (Bend)
Pitch bend events can be used to produce pitch bend
effects. The amount of pitch bend produced by each event
can be set from -8192 through +00 to +8191. Each incre-
ment corresponds to a fraction of a semitone. To produce
smooth pitch bends you’ll need to insert several small pitch
bend events, appropriately spaced, to create smooth pitch
bend effects. Remember to use more pitch bend effects to
return the pitch to normal (+00) after a bend. A graphic bar
in the display indicates the amount of pitch bend applied —
positive bends move the bar to the right and negative bends
move the bar to the left.

Program Change (PC)
Program change events can be used to switch voices at any
point in the track. The program change parameter has three
sections: The MSB (most significant byte) of the bank
select number, the LSB (least significant byte) of the bank
select number, and the program change number itself. The
range of the bank select parameters is 0 to 127, while the
program change range is 001 to 128.

select number, and the program change number itself. The
range of the bank select parameters is 0 to 127, while the
program change range is 001 to 128.
The bank select parameters make it possible to select any
Voice in any of the banks of the QS300 (or any other MIDI
instrument that has more than 128 programs). Generally,
the MSB should be set to 000, and the LSB to the corre-
sponding bank number. For example, if you want to select
the User bank, set the LSB to 000 and the MSB to 063.
The name of the selected Voice is shown at the right.
