Hi;

is it possible to change mode via MIDI? In other words, what MIDI command do I have to issue (if any) to switch from Program to Setup (I am using SP terminology; i do not know if this objects are named the same in PC series)?

With other synths I can do something similar via SYSEX messages, but i could not find any information on this for Kurzweil.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

G.

Yeah, this should be possible via SysEx, but trouble is that Kurzweil didn't publish SysEx specification for PC3 unfortunately.

You could listen the output from PC3 via MIDIOX and catch the relevant messages, perhaps?

Hi;

thanks for the suggestion: just tried, but I have not been able to catch any sysex message; just a bunch of CC e PC, one for each of the 4 parts of the setup.

Thanks anyway.

Regards,

G.

I use Band Helper / Setlist Maker To change Forte Modes
For Multi mode change add the following to the raw hex box
B0 77 0C
B0 6F 00
B0 70 00
B0 71 00
B0 72 0B
B0 76 40
B0 77 02

For Program mode change add the following to the raw hex box
B0 77 0C
B0 6F 00
B0 70 00
B0 71 00
B0 72 0B
B0 76 40
B0 77 01

Hope this helps a few people out ...

I also have a PC3K which can change modes with Sysex codes:

to change to program mode:
F0 07 0F 00 10 70 13 F7
F0 07 0F 00 10 70 13 F7

to change to Setup mode:
F0 07 0F 00 10 70 03 F7
F0 07 0F 00 10 70 03 F7

Those look like the PC3 front panel button messages, but don't you want a 72 in the second message for a "button release"?

F0 07 md id 10 pr bn F7
  07 = Kurzweil
  md = model
  id = sysex id
  pr = press=$70 release=$72
  bn = button number

button xx pushed    F0 07 40 00 10 70 xx F7 
button xx released  F0 07 40 00 10 72 xx F7

For example, the Exit button
        F0 07 40 00 10 70 32 F7         press
        F0 07 40 00 10 72 32 F7         release

Models  
   PC3   40
   PC3K  0F
   PC3LE 0A

Button numbers for PC3:
  Program - 13
  MIDI - 1B
  Setup - 03
  Song - 1C
  Master - 0B

All values in hexadecimal. Other model numbers welcomed!

Also, this message might change to Program mode on the PC3s (code 40 for PC3):

F0 07 40 00 30 F7 

((A question: do the Forte, Artis, or SPx models have the Master mode option to send button presses?
If so, could someone generate a list? I'd like to make a button-code overlay on a front-panel image...))

button xx pushed F0 07 40 00 10 70 xx F7
button xx released F0 07 40 00 10 72 xx F7

70 or 72 status and button number not required in the string for pc3K
