Roland CR-80 - MIDI Synchronization Features; Sync Start with Keyboard

Exciusive Messages
Exclusive
messages are related to sounds unique
to an
instrument. Basically,
Exclusive
messages
can be
transferred between identical
units of
a manufacturer.
*
The CR-80 does not transmit or
receive Exclusive
messages.

MIDI Implementation
Chart
Although
MIDI makes it
possible for various
instruments
to communicate
with
each
other,
this
does not necessarily mean
all instruments
are able
to transmit/receive all MIDI
mes-
sages.
For
example, if
you
wish
to
use aftertouch on a keyboard,
but the
connected sound module
does not respond
to
aftertouch messages, aftertouch
effects
cannot
be
obtained.
In other
words,
MIDI messages
which can
be
exchanged
between
MIDI instruments are
those which
are common
to both
devices. To quickly determine
what Information
each
instrument trans-
mits and receives,
a
MIDI implementation chart is
provided in every
owner's
manual. By
studying the MIDI implementation charts of the two
devices,
you can determine what MIDI
messages
can
be
exchanged
between
those devices. All
MIDI implementation
charts are
standardized,
making it easy to compare instruments.
