Messages in accordance with its function.

1.1 System Section

The System Section manages the Instrument status.

1.2 Performance Controller Section

The Performance Controller Section performs generates performance messages in accordance with key­board play and pedal operations, etc. Basically, generated performance messages are sent to external
destinations while also being transmitted to the Sound Generator Section. The channel number of the
sent channel message is in accordance with the Instrument’s part number.

1.3 Sound Generator Section

The Sound Generator Section mainly performs receive of performance information and sound source
setting information. It consists of a common part that does not depend on the channel and a musical
instrument part that is independent of each channel.

1.3.1 Sound Generator Common Block

The common block consists of system effects, master control, etc. These can be controlled by general
universal system exclusive messages, or the Instrument’s system exclusive messages or all.

1.3.2 Instrument Part Block

The instrument part section consists of a total of 32 instrument parts. The settings of each part can be
changed using channel messages or Instrument’s system exclusive messages or all. The functions assigned
to each part are shown below. The MIDI send channel and MIDI receive channel can be changed using
the Instrument’s MIDI settings.

Channel Message

Instrument Velocity Resolution The upper seven bits of the 14-bit resolution correspond to the
Note On/Off message, while the lower seven bits correspond to the High Resolution Velocity Prefix
message.

Note On/Off High Resolution Velocity Prefix

Upper 7 bits

14bits

The initial default value for the lower 7 bits is 00H. Receipt of a High Resolution Prefix message

causes the lower seven bits to be set, but note on/off is not performed.

Receipt of a Note On/Off message causes the upper seven bits to be set with note on/off performed

with 14-bit resolution Velocity.

The High Resolution Velocity Prefix message corresponds the message immediately following the Note
On/Off message, and the lower seven bits are cleared to 00H immediately following note on/off by the
Note On/Off message. 7-bit resolution note on/off using only the Note On/Off message also continues
to be supported.

For details ab out each message, see ” 3 Note Off”, ”4 Note On”, and ”5.18 High Resolution Velocity
Prefix”.

When a High Resolution Velocity Prefix message is received immediately prior to the Note Off message
and the lower seven bits of the 14-bit Velocity are set, the 14-bit resolution note off of the note being
sounded is performed.

For information about the relationship between the Note On/Off message and High Resolution Ve­locity Prefix message, see ”Instrument Velocity Resolution” at the beginning of part II.

Note off by making the Note On Velocity 00H is identical to note off by the combination of High
Resolution Velocity prefix message 40H and Note Off Message 40H.

DSP causes the required number of DSP lines to become reserved so the tone is configured with the
requisite DSP. For information about tones that use DSP, see “17 Tone with DSP List”.

6.1.2 DSP Line Assignment

Selecting multiple tones with DSP at the same time creates the possibility that there will not be enough
DSP lines. In this case, the last selected tone with DSP is given priority. Some DSP line(s) already
being used will be released so they can be assigned to the newly selected tone.

Instrument-Specific System Exclusive
Messages

11 Format

This section explains the format of the Instrument-specific System Exclusive Messages. See “V Parameter
List” and for information about how parameter sets actually are transferred.

11.1 Message Classifications

Basically, the operation that corresponds to Instrument-specific system exclusive messages is parameter
data transfer.

The following operations can be performed from an external device using this parameter transfer
message.

• Modification of an individual Instrument parameter

• Import of an individual Instrument parameter value

In addition to parameters being used as device setting values, some parameters act as commands
when received by the Instrument and as device status information when sent from the Instrument.

The following table shows the parameter category for each type of transfer.

Function Section Parameter Category Description
System System Commands to the Instrument, Instrument stats
Performance Controller Spec Global settings, settings of each music engine
Sound Generator Patch Sound source common settings (system effects, mas-

ter settings, etc.)

11.2 Basic Message Structure

”Indivisual Parameter Transfer”(single parameter transmission/reception) is a format of instrument­specific system exclusive message, which comprise a number of different messages for each operation.

The field in the system exclusive message that specifies the message type is the Action field. The
format of the body part of the message depends on the act value.

The table below shows the body format for each action of Instrument-specific system exclusive mes­sages. An actual message consists of the items indicated by Y, from left to right.

SX MAN MOD dev act body (act Depends on act) EOX

This field is a 2-byte (LSB, MSB) value indicating the number of the parameter set (mmmmm­mmnnnnnnnB, Binary) being transferred.

11.3.9 blk Block Number

The block number is a supplementary number that specifies which block parameter is to be accessed
when there are multiple blocks (instrument parts, etc.) that include parameters with the same ID within
a single parameter set. The array structure of a block can be expressed up to 4 dimensions, and the size
of a 1-dimensional array is expressed as 14 bits.

11.3.10 prm : Parameter ID

Format: LSB 0pppppppB

MSB 0qqqqqqqB

The Parameter ID indicates the parameter type. When transferring parameters (see “V Parameter
List” below) individually, this field is used to identify the parameter being transferred by its parameter
ID.

11.3.11 idx : Data Index Number

Format: LSB 0iiiiiiiB

MSB 0jjjjjjjB

The data index number indicates the first array number of the array from which transfer starts.

11.3.12 len : Data Length

Format: LSB 0lllllllB

MSB 0mmmmmmmB

The value of this field specifies the size of the parameter value stored in the data field. Data length
indicates the length of the array being transferred minus 1 when the parameter contains a character
string or other similar array structure.

11.3.13 data : Parameter Data

Single Parameter Data Size Limit Under the Instrument’s System Exclusive message format, the

size of a single message cannot exceed 48 bytes in all other cases. The data size and the array size,
however, can cause a packet to exceed 48 bytes when transferring a single parameter array. In this case,
the IPS and IPR message data length and data index number values can be modified to enable division
of a single parameter value into multiple messages so it can be sent that way.

25

11.3.14 EOX : End of System Exclusive Message

Format: 11110111B (F7H)

This is the End of System Exclusive Message status byte established by the MIDI standard.

12 Parameter Op erations

There are two parameter unit operations: Individual Parameter Transfer and Individual Parameter
Request. For one session, in response to an IPR (Individual Parameter Request) from an external
device, this Instrument returns an IPS (Individual Parameter Send) or the session is concluded when
the external device or this Instrument spontaneously sends an IPS. If this Instrument received an IPS,
the value of the applicable parameter is changed. Depending on the function of a parameter, Individual
Parameter Send may be used to issue a command to the Instrument and Individual Parameter Request
may be used to check Instrument status information.
