Pitch Bend
Change message
This message indicates the position
of a pitch bend lever
(or.
wheel)
of
a connected MIDI controller
or
synthesizer. Moving the lever
transmits
this data. When this message
is received, the
pitch of the
selected
sound
is changed.
Only
data
indicating the movement or position of the lever is
transmitted from
the synthesizer; the
amount of pitch change (bend range)
is
set on the
JV-880.
Aftertauch message
This
message indicates how strongly a key on the connected MIDI
keyboard
is pressed down (for
keyboards
that
transmit after touch data).
There are two kinds of aftertouch: channel aftertouch, which
applies the effect
equally
over
the entire
keyboard,
and polyphonic aftertouch,
which applies
the effect
individually
for
each key. The
JV-880
responds
only to channel aftertouch.

between identical devices of the same maker.
The sound
program data can be transfered to
another JV-880
or can be .stored
to a sequencer.
