To get the MPC to change the banks on your sound module, you must insert a Bank Select message in the Step Edit mode of your MPC. Since the MIDI specification defines two parts to a Bank Select message, you may need to insert two separate messages. Controller ‘0’ is the Bank Select MSB and controller ’32’ is the Bank Select LSB. The exact procedure for creating a Bank Select will depend on the module that you want to control. Please check the documentation that came with your module to determine the exact message(s) required.

The basic steps for inserting a Bank Select message are:

1.Locating to the point in your sequence where you want the bank change to occur (typically at the beginning).
2.From the MPC’s Main Screen, press the F1 [STEP] key to enter the Step Edit mode.
3.Press the F4 [INSERT] key to open the ‘Insert Event’ window.
4.Select [CONTROL CHANGE] as the event type.
5.Press F5 [DO IT] to insert the event.
6.Controller ‘0’, which is the Bank Select MSB event is selected and inserted by default.
7.Move the cursor to the ‘0’ and set the value for your Bank Select message. If your sound module requires a Bank Select LSB parameter, just repeat steps 2 – 7, but use the control knob to select controller 32 [Bank Select LSB] and set the appropriate value.

After your message is inserted you can go to the Main Screen and play your sequence and the sound module should change banks when it reaches the point in the sequence where the message was inserted.
