Hello, I’m attempting to send patch change information to a Novation Ultranova, from an S90ES in Master Mode. I have read and followed the directions in Phil’s “Understanding S90 ES Master Mode” Power User file. Where I’m stuck though, I think, is the screen asking for “Bank MSB” & “Bank LSB” for the appropriate zone. Other than trying every combination possible, does anyone know the correct numbers to accomplish this task?

If I am understanding your issue correctly, these are the MSB, LSB (and Prog Chg) numbers for the patch that you are trying to select on the Ultranova . These should be listed in the User Manual for Ultranova . Does this help? |

You are correct, they should be listed in the Novation manual.

I had a look at the document you mentioned which confirms that the CONTROL CHANGE (CC) for MSB=0 and LSB=32 Now, my understanding is that the Zone Switch already assumes that, what it needs you to enter is the subsequent values for the Bank select (and which you currently do not know because of lack of documentation). Now, look at p4 again of Phil Clendenin’s article, and experiment with MSB values of around 063 and LSB values of, say, 000 and upwards. And Prog Chg numbers of 000 and up. Make sure that Midi Receive is activated on the Novation. Phil |

Thanks Phil, I’m very appreciative of your help.
I will try your recommendation. I did start that experiment initially, but the number of combinations was daunting. I should point out that the Ultranova will “play” via the S90ES and responds to “clock” tempo’s just fine, so I’m assuming it’s receiving some MIDI commands.

I’m happy to report that Novation has responded with the information I needed. MSB = 0 LSB = 1 (bank A); 2 (bank B) etc.
