Midi Messages "BANK" messages

[JT64]

I am abit confused about the midimessage standard for bank change, i’ve read it can differ from synth to synth?
A typical note message on off at midichannel 1

[09:46:01:000695]: RAW:[128 037 016]
And i guess at the typical drumchannel 10

Right now i only have a Roland SC-7 hooked up and it lacks banks. But i also have a Korg N364 that do have banks. But now i wonder can all synths “receive” bank messages over midi? I found a little implementation chart by someone, but i can’t figure out what message to send to make a bankchange “preferably in decimal”, i am currently making a “hobby programming” sequenser in javascript, and want to support instrument files.

But i do not know howto construct the bankchange messages for my Korg N364. Programchange and midichannel was just as above, but i need help to figure out how to construct the bankchange message.
“Maybe there is a more general standard for bankchange, what is the message for a soundfont?”

Best regards Jonas Thörnvall.
“PS i just found CTRLR, so i just understood it is an “UI “builder?” for hardware software with the supported messages via software or?

“I could think of a function that may already be there, having the inputs from a controller keyboard, be routed “attached” to a specific “midi message in” on software/hardware by just draw a line between the “panel input” keyboard controller knob and the “panel output” hardware/software?.

Basicly just a translation of the message standard message from keyboard controller knob, into the requested function you want to reach in “out panel” hardware/software” but maybe this functionality is already there?

A panel Editor for the N364 would be a dream, it is quite an advanced synthesizer engine, but the UI for the whole synth/workstation is a nightmare, it got a nice sequenser that is far to messy to deal with because of the UI, i guess that also could be a panel? for recording, editing and building tracks? Well as long those features supported over midi?

Here is the MIDI info i found on the Korg N364 i am probably not the one to do a panel for Korg N364, i just know to little about GM and the Korg.

“But i would very much like to know howto construct the bankchange message for it.”
So please write a line if you know, preferably decimal message.
