à System Exclusive Messages
Status Data Byte Status
F0H iiH,ddH,...,eeH F7H
F0H: Status of system exclusive message
ii= ID number: This is the ID to recognize manufacturer of the
exclusive message (manufacturer ID). The manufac-
turer ID of Roland is 41H. The ID numbers of 7EH and
7FH are expansion of MIDI standards and used as
universal non-realtime message (7EH) of universal
realtime message (7FH).
dd,...,ee= data: 00H–7FH (0–127)
F7H: EOX (end of exclusive)
ÁData Request 1 (RQ1)
This is the message to request of “send data” to the connected device. Specify data
type and amount using address and size. When this is received, the unit sends the
requested data as “Data Set 1 (DT1)” message in case the unit is in status where the
sending of data is possible and requested address and size are appropriate. If not, the
unit sends nothing.

* Depending on the data type, the amount of single-time transmission is specied. It
is necessary to execute data request according to the specied rst address and size.
Refer to the “2. Parameter Address Map” (p. 3) for address and size.
* See“Example of an Exclusive Message and Calculating a Checksum” (p. 30) for
checksum.

* Data exceeding 256 bytes should be divided into packets of 256 bytes or smaller. If
you send data set 1 successively, set interval of 20 msec or longer between packets.
