MIDI Message Types
Here is a table of some common MIDI Message types and their corresponding data formats. In Scene
and List modes, the Soleman uses Program Change or Note On messages by default. In Panel mode,
Control Change messages can also be used.
Macros can be used in any of the modes (Scene, List, or Panel) to allow for custom MIDI messages of
other types, such as pitch bend or SysEx messages.
This message is sent when a
note is depressed (start). k is
the key (note) number. v is the
velocity.
Continuous
Controller (i.e.
Control
Change)
This message is sent when a
controller value changes.
Controllers include devices
such as pedals and levers.
Controller numbers 120-127
are reserved as "Channel Mode
Messages". c is the controller
number (0-119). v is the
controller value (0-127).
This message sent when the
patch number changes. p is the
new program number.
This message is sent to indicate
a change in the pitch bender
(wheel or lever, typically). The
pitch bender is measured by a
fourteen bit value. Center (no
pitch change) is 2000H.
Sensitivity is a function of the
transmitter. (llllll) are the least
significant 7 bits. (mmmmmm)
are the most significant 7 bits.
