As a MIDI device, this Instrument consists of the System Section, Sound Generator Section, and Performance Controller Section described below. Each of these sections can send and receive specific MIDI
Messages in accordance with its function.
1.1System Section
The System Section manages the Instrument status and user data.
1.2Performance Controller Section
The Performance Controller Section performs keyboard play and controller operations, and generates
performance messages. 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 MIDI setting. For details about the MIDI setting, see
the Instrument’s User’s Guide.
1.3Sound 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.
1.3.1Sound Generator Common Block
The common block consists of system effects, master control, etc. These can be controlled by effect
function, or general universal system exclusive messages.
1.3.2Instrument Part Block
The instrument part section is devided into A, B, C group for every 16 parts, and it consists of a total of
48 parts. The settings of each part can be changed using channel messages. Of these, only the C group
can be controlled by external channel messages.
The functions assigned to each part are shown below.
The sound source operation performed for a sound generator instrument receive message may depend
on the value of the Timbre Type (see “About the Timbre Type” in “8 Program Change”) of each part’s
operation mode. For details, see the explanation for each message.
3Controlling Send/Receive of MIDI Messages in Each Instru-
ment Part
Send and receive of MIDI messages for each instrument part can be controlled by global Instrument
MIDI settings and Instrument-specific system exclusive messages. See the Instrument’s User’s Guide for
details.
4Conditions that Disable Message Send and Receive
The main conditions when MIDI message send and receive are disabled by the Instrument are thosedescribed
below.
• While the instrument is accessing flash memory.
• While “Wait” or “Bye” are displayed on the LCD screen. (PX-S3000)

Part II
Channel Message
Instrument Velocity ResolutionThe 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/OffHigh 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 about each message, see ” 5 Note Off”, ”6 Note On”, and ”7.20 High Resolution Velocity
Prefix”.

TransmitSent when something is played on the keyboard or when play is performed using the Arpeggiator, etc. The key number changes in accordance with on the Transpose function and Octave Shift
function.
Receive Receipt stops a note being sounded by a note on message.
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.

Note: This Instrument has a function that assumes connection of an external device that sends Note Off Velocity as a fixed
value. Note Off Velocity 00H is replaced with 40H until a Note Off message with a Velocity value other than 00H is received. This
function is enabled when the Instrument is turned on, and disabled by receipt of a Note Off message with a Velocity value other
than 00H.

Receive Receipt changes the ton of the corresponding part. The selected tone is determined by the
program value of this message and the Bank Select message value received prior to this message.
About the Timbre TypeTones that are selected by each Instrument part have an attribute that
depends on the sound source operation type. This attribute is called the “timbre type,” which is one of
the types described below.
• Melody
This timbre type optimizes for normal melody tones. The damper pedal performs on/off operations.
• Piano
This Timbre Type is for piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded is seamlessly
altered in accordance with the depressed amount of damper pedal. The method for producing
sound in response to the note messages also is different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and
operation is optimized for piano.
• LMPiano
This Timbre Type is for Linear Morphing piano tones. The decay rate of the voice being sounded
and Damper Resonance effect characteristics are seamlessly altered in accordance with the depressed amount of damper pedal. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages
also is different from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.
• Drum
This setting optimizes for drum sounds. The damper pedal does not function. The Damper Pedal
(Sustain), Channel Coarse Tune, and Master Coarse Tune messages are ignored if they are received.
9Channel Pressure (Aftertouch)
Message Format:DnH vvH
n:MIDI Channel Number
vv:Value
Receive Receipt adds, to the tone being sounded, modulation of a depth specified by the value. In
the case of a tone that already has modulation applied, receipt of this message increases the modu-

depends on the Pitch Bend Range value setting.

MIDI implementation sometimes requires that data be expressed in hexadecimal format. Hexadecimal
values are indicated by the letter “H” after the value. The hexadecimal equivalents of decimal values 10
through 15 are expressed as the letters A through F.
The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalents for decimal values 0 through 127, which are often
When a MIDI implementation data value is expressed in binary, the letter “B” (for “binary”) is affixed
at the end of the value. The table below shows the binary equivalents for the decimal values 0 through
127, which are often used for settings.
