RPN(RegisteredParameterNumbers)areatypeofmessage
thatallowsettingstobemadeinawaythatiscommon
between instrumentmanufacturers.(NRPN(Non‐registered

ThePS60canreceivethefollowingthreeRPNmessages
(tuning,transpose,andpitchbendrange).
Tuning
RPN fine tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]
ThisRPNmessagecanbeusedtoadjustthedetuningfora
timbre.
Theprocedureisasfollows.
[Bn,65,00,64,01]:SelectRPNparameter01.
[Bn,06,mm,26,vv]:Usedataentrytosetthevalue.Avalue
of8192[mm,vv=40,00]iscenter,0[mm,vv=00,00]is–
100
cents,and16383[mm,vv=7F,7F]is+99cents.

Transposing
RPN coarse tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 02]
ThisRPNmessagecanbeusedtoadjustthetransposition
foratimbre.
Theprocedureisasfollows.
1. [Bn,65,00,64,02]:SelectRPNparameter02.
2. [Bn,06,mm,26,vv]:Usedataentrytosetthevalue.
Normallyonlytheupperbyteisused.
Avalueof8192[mm,vv=40,00]iscenter ,6656[mm,vv=34,

Changing the pitch bend range
RPN pitch bend range [Bn, 64, 00, 65, 00]
ThisRPNmessagecanbeusedtoadjustthepitchbend
rangeforatimbre.
Theprocedureisasfollows.
1. [Bn,65,00,64,00]:SelectRPNparameter00.
2. [Bn,06,mm,26,vv]:Usedataentrytosetthevalue.
Normallyonlytheupperbyteisused.
Avalueof0[mm,vv=00,00]is+00,andavalueof1536
[mm,vv=0C,00]is+12(oneoctave).Althoughitispossible
tosetanegat ivevalueforatimbre,on
