Are you talking about middle sideband and lower sideband?

dont MSB/LSB stand for Most significant bit and least significant bit?

its a midi control message, used to change banks, go to step edit and insert a "control change" then turn the jog wheen until you see MSB or LSB displauyed and insert.

You either have to save the data in your sequencer (the mpc) or you have to save your MIX in the Motif Rack. But you have to save the data somewhere.

Every Voice that you select in the Motif Rack has two Bank Select numbers and a Program Change number. When you are looking at the Motif Rack MULTI MIX screen, press MULTI a second time... there you will see your 16 PARTS and the Bank Select numbers and Program Change number for each Part. For example, the piano (which is the default sound is:
Bank MSB 63
Bank LSB 0
Voice number 1

>>>ok can you tell me how would I save this data in my MPC

Press the "STEP" soft key> "INSERT"> Type:Control Change> Hit "Do it"> Enter Bank Sel MSB#> Press the "INSERT" soft key again> Enter Bank Sel LSB#> "INSERT" again> Type:Program Change> Enter the Program#.

Make sure you enter all these commands at the beggining of the sequence. Some voices only require the Bank Sel MSB, the manuals to whatever equipment your using should say what's what.

It should look like this when your done:

>CONTROL CHANGE: BANK SEL MSB: 0
>CONTROL CHANGE: BANK SEL LSB: 1
>PROGRAM CHANGE: 0-127(0 will be the first voice in the bank)

Good luck!

The Program Change will be 1-128, sorry about that.

Thanks for info it works, but how would I input this information for each individual track

Just insert the CC#'s and Program#'s for each track. Here's a step by step for a Proteus 2500( I just sold my Motif cuz I'm getting the ES model.) but it's the same principal. I don't insert program messages cuz I like to scroll through the voices using the MPC.

Track1> set to midi: 1A: device01> insert CC#'s MSB:9 LSB:2 (this is the World ROM/Bank 2 in my Proteus2500)> go to the main screen and scroll to the voice you want to assign to the track > Go to Track 2> insert CC#'s MSB:17 LSB:1 (this is the P2500 ROM/Bank 1)> continue to repeat these steps for all the voices and tracks you want to use in the sequence.

Keep in mind that the MSB AND LSB #'s will be different for your module but the manual or the mixer screen should indicate what the #'s are.

I am using the MPC and a couple of modules, how would I insert the CC#'s and etc; from the Mo' Phatt module? The example using the Motiff is not helping me at all. Maybe I'm a lil' slow oh well can I get the remedial version?
