For this reason, some sequencers \/ software have a Bank Box or similar in an attempt to simplify things. However sometimes on early versions of software this function may not be available. If this is the case and your sequencer does not have a Bank Box or similar you will have to enter in the data manually in a List Edit or similar function within the sequencer. You will have to enter a controller with specific values and then a program change message, all with the right values and in the right order and on the right channels. If the message you send does not change the bank on the Nova then you are not sending the right messages and values. Consult your sequencer \/ software owners manual for details. Bank change messages are as follows. They must be sent as shown and in the correct order. A Program Bank A message is as follows: enter a controller 32 message with a value of 5 followed by a program change message with the value of the program you want. i.e. for program 6 enter 7. A Program Bank B message is as follows: enter a controller 32 with a value of 6 followed by a program change message with the value of the program you want. Alternatively simply select the desired Performance \/ Program from the Nova&#8217;s front panel while recording into a sequencer. Make sure the MIDI output of the Nova is connected to the MIDI input of your sequencer \/ computer either directly or via a merge box. There is a Table of Bank messages recognised by the Nova in the Nova Manual <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[1],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[26550],"manufacturers":[33591],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Cannot change Banks via MIDI on  my Nova Laptop page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/cannot-change-banks-via-midi-nova-laptop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cannot change Banks via MIDI on my Nova Laptop - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bank changes are different from program changes and are actually two messages.
