* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and data will be transmitted from the specified
starting address and size. Refer to the address and size given in “3. Parameter Address Map.”
* Data larger than 256 bytes must be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and each packet must be sent at an interval of about 20 ms
or longer.
* For the checksum, refer to “How to calculate the checksum.”
2. Transmit Data
* When [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[BASIC] Soft Thru MIDI In/Soft Thru USB MIDI In is set to “ON”, messages received in addition to the following
messages are also sent to the corresponding jack.
■Channel Voice Messages
* The following channel voice messages are transmitted on the channel specified as the [KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI]-[MIDI CH] MIDI CH.
* Not transmitted when [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[BASIC] MIDI Tx/Rx Sw is set to “OFF.”
●Note Off
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
8nH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H–7FH (0–127)
vv = Note off velocity: 40H (64) fixed
* In the channel assigned to the pad, after a pad is struck or the hi-hat control pedal is in the foot closed (splash) position, Note Off
is transmitted after the interval set in Gate Time ([KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI]-[GATE]).
●Note On
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
9nH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H–7FH (0–127)
vv = Note on velocity: 01H–7FH (1–127)
* In the channel assigned to the pad, after a pad is struck or the hi-hat control pedal is in the foot closed (splash) position, the note
number set for the drum kit is transmitted.
* For a channel to which SNARE<HEAD> is assigned, when [KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[BRUSH SW] Brush Switch is “ON,” the note number specified by
[KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI]-[NOTE] NOTE NO. (SNARE<BRUSH>) is transmitted.
* For a channel to which SNARE<RIM> is assigned, when an instrument that supports cross-stick technique is assigned to the rim of the
SNARE pad, and either the [DRUM KIT]-[XSTICK] XStick Switch is “ON” or a digitally-connected pad that supports cross-stick technique
(such as the PD-140DS) is assigned to the snare, then playing cross-stick technique on the SNARE pad will transmit the note number
specified by [KIT EDIT]-[OTHER]-[KIT MIDI]-[NOTE] NOTE NO. (SNARE<XSTICK>) after the Gate Time has elapsed.
* In the channel to which the HI-HAT<BOW> is assigned, the note number transmitted when the hi-hat pad is struck (open, closed) switches
with the value set with [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] HH Note# Border setting (the HH Pedal CC Control value) in accordance with the degree to
which the hi-hat pedal is pressed.
●Polyphonic Key Pressure
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
AnH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
kk = note number: 00H–7FH (0–127)
vv = Value: 00H, 7FH (0, 127)
* On the channel to which the pad is assigned, 7FH will be transmitted when the rim of the pad is pressed and 00H will be transmitted when
the rim is released, for the note number specified for the head and rim. (When using a choking compatible pad and
[SYSTEM]-[TRIGGER]-[PARAM] Trig Type is set to the corresponding pad.)
* In the case of a digitally-connected pad that supports choking technique (such as the CY-18DR), a value in the range of 7FH through 00H
is transmitted according to the strength of choking.
* In the case of a digitally-connected pad that supports choking technique (such as the CY-18DR), polyphonic key pressure is also
transmitted when you place your hand on the sensor.
●Control Change
○Modulation (Controller number 1)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 01H vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127)
Pedal position: open to closed
Head strike position: center to perimeter
Rim strike position: deep to shallow
* In the channel to which the HI-HAT<BOW> is assigned, when [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] HH Pedal CC is set to “MODULATION (1),” this is
transmitted when the hi-hat control pedal is played. When the HI-HAT pad is struck, this is transmitted as a pedal position message before
Note On.
* When the following three things are set, strike position data will be transmitted before the note-on data when a pad is struck.
* When “MODULATION (1)”is assigned to either[SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] Snare CC (for head and rim of SNARE pad), Ride CC (for bow of
RIDE pad), or Toms/AUXs CC (for head and rim of TOM 1–3, AUX 1–3 pads).
* When the [SYSTEM]-[TRIGGER]-[PARAM] Trig Type is set to a type that can detect the strike position, or a digitally-connected pad that
can detect strike position is assigned.
* When Head and Rim for Position Detect for [SYSTEM]-[TRIGGER]-[PARAM] are set to “ON.”
○Breath Controller (Controller number 2)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 02H vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16)
vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127)
Pedal position: open to closed
Head strike position: center to perimeter
Rim strike position: deep to shallow
* In the channel to which the HI-HAT<BOW> is assigned, when [SYSTEM]-[MIDI]-[CONTROL] HH Pedal CC is set to “BREATH (2),” this is
transmitted when the hi-hat control pedal is played. When the HI-HAT pad is struck, this is transmitted as a pedal position message before
Note On.
* When the following three things are set, strike position data will be transmitted before the note-on data when a pad is struck.
