Hi,

The question is related to the the bank changes or redirecting the MSB messages between two hardware MIDI devices. Yamaha keyboards have a limitation of sending MIDI messages to MSB 62 for a drum voice and MSB 63 for an instrument voice thru their user voice option. Is there any way to redirect/remap MIDI MSB messages between a Yamaha arranger keyboard (psr s975) and a hardware sound module (V3 Sound Sonority XXL) so that the module’s voices (which are other than MSB 62 & 63 locations) could be used by Yamaha user voices. I will really appreciate your answer. Here are the links for data list of both devices:

Hi,

According to the Yamaha manual voice list bank messages are are on many different MSB LSB combinations. Maybe I’m reading it wrong and it sends always on Bank MSB 63 but responds on multiple banks for incoming message.

With that said, the attached project file will convert incoming MSB bank 63 to outgoing MSB bank 0. All other MIDI signals will pass through untouched including bank messages other than Bank 63.

Thanks for your reply. What about the MSB 62, which is for Drum voices?

For MSB 62, just duplicate the existing translator and then change the incoming value as 62 instead of 63. Outgoing will still be MSB 0.
