MIDI Implementation

* Parameters marked “relative change” will change relatively to the preset
value(40H). Even among dierent GS devices, “relative change” parameters may
sometimes dier in the way the sound changes or in the range of change.
* Parameters marked “absolute change” will be set to the absolute value of the
parameter, regardless of the preset value.
* Data entry LSB (llH) is ignored.
6 RPN MSB/LSB (Controller Number 100, 101)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 65H mmH
BnH 64H llH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
mm = upper byte (MSB) of parameter number specied by RPN
ll = lower byte (LSB) of parameter number specied by RPN
* Not received when Rx. RPN = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
* The value specied by RPN will not be reset even by messages such as Program
Change or Reset All Controller.
**RPN**
The RPN (Registered Parameter Number) messages are expanded control changes,
and each function of an RPN is described by the MIDI Standard.
To use these messages, you must rst use RPN MSB and RPN LSB messages to
specify the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages to
specify the value of the specied parameter. Once an RPN parameter has been
specied, all Data Entry messages received on that channel will modify the value of
that parameter. To prevent accidents, it is recommended that you set RPN Null (RPN
Number = 7FH 7FH) when you have nished setting the value of the desired
parameter. Refer to Section 4. “Examples of actual MIDI messages” <Example 4>
On this instrument, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.
RPN Data entry
MSB LSB MSB LSB Explanation
00H 00H mmH --- Pitch Bend Sensitivity
mm: 00H–18H (0–24 semitones),
Initial Value = 02H (2 semitones)
ll: ignored (processed as 00h)
specify up to 2 octaves in semitone steps
00H 01H mmH llH Master Fine Tuning
mm, ll: 00 00H–40 00H–7F 7FH
(-100–0–+99.99 cents),
Initial Value = 40 00H (0 cent)
ll: ignored (processed as 00h)
specify up to 2 octaves in semitone steps
Refer to 4. Supplementary Material,
“About Tuning”
00H 02H mmH --- Master Coarse Tuning
mm: 28H–40H–58H
(-24–0–+24 semitones),
Initial Value = 40H (0 cent)
ll: ignored (processed as 00h)
00H 05H mmH llH Modulation Depth Range
mm: 00H–04H (0–4 semitones)
ll: 00H–7FH (0–100 cents)
100/128 Cent/Value
7FH 7FH --- --- RPN null
Set condition where RPN and NRPN are
unspecied. The data entry messages
after set RPN null will be ignored.
(No Data entry messages are required
after RPN null).
Settings already made will not change.
mm, ll: ignored
7Program Change
Status 2nd byte
CnH ppH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
pp = Program number: 00H–7FH (prog.1–prog.128)
* Not received when Rx. PROGRAM CHANGE = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
* After a Program Change message is received, the sound will change beginning
with the next Note-on. Voices already sounding when the Program Change
message was received will not be aected.
* For Drum Parts, Program Change messages will not be received on bank numbers
129–16384 (the value of Controller Number 0 is other than 0 (00H)).
7Channel Pressure
Status 2nd byte
DnH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
vv = Channel Pressure : 00H–7FH (0–127)
* Not received when Rx. CH PRESSURE = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
* The resulting eect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial
settings there will be no eect.
7Pitch Bend Change
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
EnH llH mmH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
mm, ll = Pitch Bend value: 00 00H–40 00H–7F 7FH
(-8192–0–+8191)
* Not received when Rx. PITCH BEND = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
* The resulting eect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial
settings the eect is Pitch Bend.
