MESSAGE
Used for
synchronizing rliythm machines and sequencers.
Includes tempo and
start/stop
data.
SYSTEM
COMMON
MESSAGES
Used when there are many MIDI units in a complex
system.
This
can tell
the units to start at the same
time or
get in tune with each other.

IXCLUSIVE MESSAGES
Can be used for
passing data
partaining to
one
manufac-
turer's
products {since
each
manufacturer has
his own
particular ID
number).
Usually used
for program SAVE/
LOAD and
parameter-change
operations.
All MIDI
Synthesizers
and
other equipment
use the
same
language
for
communication. But
this does
not
mean
that ail
units can
send or respond
to
all
information.
For
example,
a synthesizer
that
does not have
portamento
capability
will simply
ignore MiDi data
conceming
that
function.
(The
DW-6000, for
example,
ignores
velocity
data,
but sends
and
receives portamento on/off
informa-
tion.)
