■ Pitch Bend Change
This message indicates the position to which the pitch bend
lever was moved.
■ Aftertouch
This message indicates how strongly pressure was applied
to the keyboard after a note was played. There are two
types of aftertouch message: Channel Aftertouch which
controls an entire channel, and Polyphonic Aftertouch
which controls individual notes independently.
On the JP-8080 you can use the Transmit/Receive Setting
(p.125) to assign aftertouch to a panel controller.
With the factory settings, the aftertouch message is selected
as the control assignment for Control Up. (p.86)
■ Program Change
This message is used to select sounds. On the JP-8080, the
program numbers 1–128 of this message will select Patches
or Performances (p.60, 62).
■ Control Change
These messages are used to create musical expression.
On the JP-8080, Bank Select (CC# (Controller Number) 0,
CC#32) are used in conjunction with Program Change mes-
sages to select Patches or Performances (p.60, 62).
Modulation (CC#1), Pan (CC#10), Expression (CC#11), and
Hold (CC#64) can be controlled via pedals or the modula-
tion lever to add expressiveness to your playing (p.87).
A variety of other control change messages can be assigned
to various sliders/knobs by the Transmit/Receive Setting
(p.125).
System Messages
This category includes exclusive messages, messages used
for synchronization, and messages that keep a MIDI system
running correctly.
■ Exclusive Messages
Exclusive messages are used to convey information
between devices of the same manufacturer and model (or
compatible model), so that data unique to these devices
(such as sound data settings) can be exchanged.
If MIDI could be used only to convey messages that were
defined in the MIDI specification, it would not be possible
to convey messages unique to a manufacturer or unique to
a particular instrument. Thus, each manufacturer defines its
own exclusive message format, and uses this format to con-
vey proprietary data.
On the JP-8080, Transmit/Receive Setting (p.125) allow
exclusive messages to be assigned to the sliders/knobs.
Also, exclusive messages can be used to transmit data such
as Patch settings to a sequencer for storage (“Saving
Settings on an External Sequencer (Bulk Dump)” p.137).
● About the MIDI Implementation Chart
MIDI handles a wide variety of performance-related mes-
sages, but the types of messages that can be transmitted or
received by each type of device will differ. The MIDI
Implementation Chart that is included in the owner’s man-
ual of every MIDI device tells you at a glance which types
of MIDI message can be transmitted and received by that
particular device. Message types marked by “O” in both
charts can be exchanged between the two devices.
