external clock according to the following table.
System: Sync Rx Response
OFF (Internal) A Song/Style will neither start/stop nor follow the tempo of the
external “Timing Clock” (F8) and “Start/Stop” (FA/FC) messages.
ON (Auto) If a Song/Style receives “Start/Stop” (FA/FC), it will follow
automatically Internal or External Timing related to the presence or
not of the incoming “Timing Clock” (F8) messages.

further messages. While monitoring, if the interval between messages exceeds 420 ms,
the same processing will be carried out as when All Sounds Off, All Notes Off and Reset
All Controllers are received, and message interval monitoring will be halted.

System Exclusive Messages
Status
Data byte Status
F0H iiH, ddH, ......,eeH F7H
F0H: System Exclusive Message status
ii = ID number: an ID number (manufacturer ID) to indicate the manufacturer whose
Exclusive message this is. Roland’s manufacturer ID is 41H.
ID numbers 7EH and 7FH are extensions of the MIDI standard; Universal Non-realtime
Messages (7EH) and Universal Realtime Messages (7FH).
dd,...,ee = data: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)

System Exclusive messages related to mode settings
These messages are used to initialize a device to GS or General MIDI mode, or change the
operating mode. When creating performance data, a “GM1 System On” message should be
inserted at the beginning of a General MIDI 1 score, a “GM2 System On” message at the
beginning of a General MIDI 2 score, and a “GS Reset” message at the beginning of a GS
music data. Each song should contain only one mode message as appropriate for the type of
