MSB/LSB Bank Change Business ???

Question

I'm trying to get LPX to send one of my external MIDI devices a bank change command. 
How do I do this? 
The manual for my MIDI device (Yamaha MOXF8) says that the way to have the device change banks is by sending the following (Values are in Hexadecimal):
MSB=00, LSB=00 for GM Voices
MSB=3F, LSB=00 for Preset 1 Voices
MSB=3F, LSB=01 for Preset 2 Voices
MSB=3F, LSB=02 for Preset 3 Voices
I understand the meaning of MSB and LSB (Most Significant Byte and Least Significant Byte both making 16 bits).
I guess what I don't understand is how to get LPX to send these commands.
Ideas? 
Thanks
-Mike

Answer 1

LSB and MSB are part of the Continuous Controller command set.   So you would send LSB and MSG as CC (Controller commands)
MIDI Control Change Messages – Continuous Controllers

Bank Select
Allows user to switch bank for patch selection. Program change used with Bank Select. MIDI can access 16,384 patches per MIDI channel.
MIDI CC
1
Modulation
Generally this CC controls a vibrato effect (pitch, loudness, brighness). What is modulated is based on the patch.
MIDI CC
2
Breath Controller
Often times associated with aftertouch messages. It was originally intended for use with a breath MIDI controller in which blowing harder produced higher MIDI control values. It can be used for modulation as well.

Foot Controller
Often used with aftertouch messages. It can send a continuous stream of values based on how the pedal is used.
MIDI CC

Portamento
Time
Controls portamento rate to slide between 2 notes played subsequently.
MIDI CC

Data Entry Most Significant Bit(MSB)
Controls Value for NRPN or RPN parameters.
MIDI CC

Volume
Control the volume of the channel
MIDI CC

Balance
Controls the left and right balance, generally for stereo patches.
0 = hard left, 64 = center, 127 = hard right

Portamento On/Off Switch
On/Off switch
0 to 63 = Off, 64 to 127 = On
MIDI CC
66
Sostenuto On/Off Switch
On/Off switch – Like the Sustain controller (CC 64), However it only holds notes that were “On” when the pedal was pressed. People use it to “hold” chords” and play melodies over the held chord.
0 to 63 = Off, 64 to 127 = On
MIDI CC

Soft Pedal On/Off Switch
On/Off switch
- Lowers the volume of notes played.
0 to 63 = Off, 64 to 127 = On
MIDI CC

On/Off switch
- Turns Legato effect between 2 subsequent notes On or Off.
0 to 63 = Off, 64 to 127 = On
MIDI CC

Hold 2
Another way to “hold notes” (see MIDI CC 64 and MIDI CC 66). However notes fade out according to their release parameter rather than when the pedal is released.
