Hi Steve,
Apologies for the late reply - many thanks for your advice.

I sort of feel that BIAB is not the right thing to do this (unless it's possible to do some automatic way), but it might be good to try out - so that I can understand how the codes are issued...

So, for example I've looked at the MIDI Manual and it has a table for the voices.
Here is an example for the Harpsichord voice:


voice Name: Harpsichord
MSB (0-127):10
LSB (0-127):0
Program Change:7


I'm assuming that MSB & LSB stand for Most/Least significant byte??

So how do I now issue a MIDI command to the YDP-163 that changes the voice without me doing so from the piano keyboard.
I did look at chapter 10 in the manual but I've still not grasped it... I must be missing something obvious I guess frown
