5A Note-on received immediately after a Portamento Control
message will change continuously in pitch, starting from the
pitch of the Source Note Number.
5If a voice is already sounding for a note number identical
to the Source Note Number, this voice will continue sounding (i.e., legato) and will, when the next Note-on is received,
smoothly change to the pitch of that Note-on.
5The rate of the pitch change caused by Portamento Control is
determined by the Portamento Time value.

5Not received when “NRPN” RX Event is O.
**NRPN** The NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) message allows an extended
range of control changes to be used. On the E-A7, NRPN messages can be
used to modify sound parameters, etc. To use these messages, you must rst use NRPN messages (Controller
number 98 and 99, their order does not matter) to specify the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages (Controller number 6) to specify the value of the specied parameter.
Once an NRPN parameter has been specied, all Data Entry messages received on that channel will modify the value of that parameter. To prevent accidents, it is recommended that you set RPN Null (RPN Number= 7FH 7FH) when you have nished setting the value of the desired
parameter. Refer to “[Example 4]” on page 14.
On the E-A7, Data entry LSB (Controller number 38) of NRPN is ignored, so it is no problem to send Data entry MSB (Controller number 6) only (without Data entry LSB).
On the E-A7, NRPN can be used to modify the following parameters:

such as Program Change or Reset All Controller.
**RPN** The RPN (Registered Parameter Number) messages are expanded control
changes, and each function of an RPN is described by the MIDI Standard. To use these messages, you must rst use RPN (Controller number 101
and 100, their order does not matter) to specify the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages (Controller number 6, 38) to specify the value of the specied parameter. Once an RPN parameter has been specied, all Data Entry messages received on that channel will modify the value of that parameter.
To prevent accidents, it is recommended that you set RPN to Null (RPN Number= 7FH 7FH) when you have nished setting the value of the desired
parameter. Refer to “[Example 4]” on page 14.
On the E-A7, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

**NRPN**
The NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) message allows you to use an extended range of control changes, which are not dened by the MIDI specication. NRPNs provide a great deal of freedom, and can be used with any manufacturer’s devices. As a result, any particular parameter number can easily mean one thing when used for a certain device, and mean something completely dierent on another device.
Note that RPNs and NRPNs require that a multiple number of messages be processed in the correct order. However, a majority of the sequencers currently on the market cannot always be relied on to consistently send
messages in the proper order if the messages are located at almost
exactly the same point in time. On GS instruments, NRPN can be used to modify the following parameters. The range of values for relative change parameters will be dierent with
certain models. Please see the explanation that follows the chart.:

5PITCH OFFSET FINE allows you to alter, by a specied frequency amount, the pitch at which notes will sound. This parameter diers from
the conventional Fine Tuning (RPN #1) parameter in that the amount of frequency alteration (in Hertz) will be identical no matter which note is played. When a multiple number of Parts, each of which has been given a dierent setting for PITCH OFFSET FINE, are sounded by means of an identical note number, you can obtain a Celeste eect.

5Decimal values such as MIDI channel, bank select, and program
change are listed as one greater than the values given in the above table.
5A 7-bit byte can express data in the range of 128 steps. For
data where greater precision is required, we must use two or more bytes. For example, two hexadecimal numbers aa bbH expressing two 7-bit bytes would indicate a value of aa x
128+bb.
5In the case of values which have a +/– sign, 00H = –64, 40H =
+/–0, and 7FH = +63, so that the decimal expression would be
64 less than the value given in the above chart. In the case
of two types, 00 00H = –8192, 40 00H = +/–0, and 7F 7FH =
+8191. For example, if aa bbH were expressed as decimal, this would be aa bbH - 40 00H = aa x 128+bb –64 x 128.
5Data marked “Use nibbled data” is expressed in hexadecimal in
4-bit units. A value expressed as a 2-byte nibble 0a 0bH has
the value of a x 16+b.
[Example 1] What is the decimal expression of 5AH ? From the preceding table, 5AH = 90
[Example 2] What is the decimal expression of the value 12 34H given as hexadecimal for each 7 bits?
From the preceding table, since 12H = 18 and 34H = 52 18 x 128+52 = 2356
[Example 3] What is the decimal expression of the nibbled value 0A 03 09 0D ?
From the preceding table, since 0AH = 10, 03H = 3, 09H = 9, 0DH = 13 ((10 x 16+3) x 16+9) x 16+13 = 41885
[Example 4] What is the nibbled expression of the decimal value 1258?
16) 1258
16) 78 ... 10
16) 4 ... 14 0 … 4 Since from the preceding table, 0 = 00H, 4 = 04H, 14 = 0EH,
10 = 0AH, the result is: 00 04 0E 0AH.

7Examples of actual MIDI messages
[Example 1] 92 3E 5F 9n is the Note-on status, and n is the MIDI channel number. Since 2H = 2,
3EH= 62, and 5FH = 95, this is a Note-on message with MIDI CH = 3, note
number 62 (note name is D4), and velocity 95.
[Example 2] CE 49 CnH is the Program Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number.
Since EH = 14 and 49H = 73, this is a Program Change message with MIDI CH = 15, program number 74 (Flute in GS).
97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127
60H 61H 62H 63H 64H 65H 66H 67H 68H 69H 6AH 6BH 6CH 6DH 6EH 6FH 70H 71H 72H 73H 74H 75H 76H 77H 78H 79H 7AH 7BH 7CH 7DH 7EH 7FH
[Example 3] EA 00 28 EnH is the Pitch Bend Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number.
The 2nd byte (00H = 0) is the LSB and the 3rd byte (28H = 40) is the
MSB, but Pitch Bend Value is a signed number in which 40 00H (= 64 x 12+80 = 8192) is 0, so this Pitch Bend Value is 28 00H - 40 00H = 40 x
12+80 - (64 x 12+80) = 5120 –8192 = –3072 If the Pitch Bend Sensitivity
is set to 2 semitones, -8192 (00 00H) will cause the pitch to change
-200 cents, so in this case -200 x (-3072) ÷ (-8192) = -75 cents of Pitch Bend is being applied to MIDI channel 11.
[Example 4] B3 64 00 65 00 06 0C 26 00 64 7F 65 7F BnH is the Control Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. For
Control Changes, the 2nd byte is the control number, and the 3rd byte
is the value. In a case in which two or more consecutive messages have the same
status, MIDI has a provision called “running status” which allows the
status byte of the second and following messages to be omitted. Thus,
the above messages have the following meaning.
B3 64 00 MIDI ch.4, lower byte of RPN parameter number: 00H (B3) 65 00 (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 00H (B3) 06 0C (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of parameter value: 0CH (B3) 26 00 (MIDI ch.4) lower byte of parameter value: 00H (B3) 64 7F (MIDI ch.4) lower byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH (B3) 65 7F (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH
In other words, the above messages specify a value of 0C 00H for
RPN parameter number 00 00H on MIDI channel 4, and then set the RPN parameter number to 7F 7FH.
RPN parameter number 00 00H is Pitch Bend Sensitivity, and the MSB of
the value indicates semitone units, so a value of 0CH = 12 sets the maximum pitch bend range to ±12 semitones (1 octave). (On GS sound
generators the LSB of Pitch Bend Sensitivity is ignored, but the LSB should be transmitted anyway (with a value of 0) so that operation will be correct on any device.)
Once the parameter number has been specied for RPN or NRPN, all Data Entry messages transmitted on that same channel will be valid, so after
the desired value has been transmitted, it is a good idea to set the parameter number to 7F 7FH to prevent accidents.
This is the reason for the (B3) 64 7F (B3) 65 7F at the end. It is not desirable for performance data (such as Standard MIDI File data) to
contain many events with running status as given in [Example 4]. This is because if playback is halted during the song and then rewound or fast-forwarded, the sequencer may not be able to transmit the correct
status, and the sound generator will then misinterpret the data. Take care to give each event its own status.
It is also necessary that the RPN or NRPN parameter number setting and the value setting be done in the proper order. On some sequencers, events occurring in the same (or consecutive) clock may be transmitted in an order dierent than the order in which they were received. For this reason it is a good idea to slightly skew the time of each event (about 1 tick for TPQN = 96, and about 5 ticks for TPQN = 480).

7Example of an Exclusive message checksum
calculation
Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) are transmitted with a checksum at the end (before F7) to make sure that the message was correctly received. The value of the checksum is determined by the address and data (or size) of the transmitted Exclusive message.
6How to calculate the checksum (hexadecimal numbers are
indicated by “H”)
The checksum is a value derived by adding the address, size, and
checksum itself and inverting the lower 7 bits.
Here’s an example of how the checksum is calculated. We will assume that in the exclusive (SysEx) message we are transmitting, the address is aa bb ccH and the data or size is “dd ee H”.
aa + bb + cc + dd + ee +  = sum sum ÷ 128 = quotient ... remainder
128 - remainder = checksum
[Example 1] Setting REVERB MACRO to “ROOM 3” According to the “Common parameters” on page 11, the REVERB MACRO
Address is “40 01 30H”, and ROOM 3 corresponds to “02H”. Thus…
F0 41 10 42 12 40 01 30 02 ?? F7 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address data checksum (6)
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland) (3) Device ID (17) (4) Model ID (GS) (5) Command ID (DT1) (6) End of Exclusive
Next, we calculate the checksum.
40H+01H+30H+02H = 64+1+48+2 = 115 (sum)
115 (sum) ÷ 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 115 (remainder)
checksum = 128 - 115 (remainder) = 13 = 0DH
This means that F0 41 10 42 12 40 01 30 02 0D F7 is the message we need to transmit.
14
[Example 2] Setting REVERB LEVEL to “12” According to the “Common parameters” on page 11, the REVERB LEVEL
Address is “40 01 33H”, and the parameter value is “0CH”. Thus,
F0 41 10 42 12 40 01 33 0C ?? F7 (1 (2) (3) (4) (5) address data checksum (6)
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland) (3) Device ID (17) (4) Model ID (GS) (5) Command ID (DT1) (6) EOX
Next we calculate the checksum.
40H + 01H + 33H + 0CH=64 + 1 + 51 + 12=128 (sum)
128 (sum) ÷ 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 0 (remainder)
checksum = 128 - 0 (remainder) = 128 = 80H
In this case, however, the checksum value should be 00H, not 80H. You should use 00H if the remainder is 0. This means that F0 41 10 42 12 40 01 33 0C 00 F7 is the message we transmit.
7About the Tuning
In MIDI, individual Parts are tuned by sending RPN #1 (Channel Fine
Tuning) to the appropriate MIDI channel.
In MIDI, an entire device is tuned by either sending RPN #1 to all MIDI channels being used, or by sending a System Exclusive MASTER TUNE (address
40 00 00H).
RPN #1 allows tuning to be specied in steps of approximately 0.012 cents (to be precise, 100/8192 cent), and System Exclusive MASTER TUNE allows tuning in steps of 0.1 cent. One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
The values of RPN #1 (Channel Fine Tuning) and System Exclusive MASTER TUNE are added together to determine the actual pitch sounded by each
Part.
Frequently used tuning values are given in the following table for your
reference. Values are in hexadecimal (decimal in parentheses).

7The Scale Tune Feature (address: 40 1x 40 or
50 1X 40)
The scale Tune feature allows you to nely adjust the individual pitch
of the notes from C through B. Though the settings are made while
working with one octave, the ne adjustments will aect all octaves. By making the appropriate Scale Tune settings, you can obtain a complete variety of tuning methods other than equal temperament. As examples, three possible types of scale setting are explained below.

The values in the table are given in cents. Refer to the explanation of Scale Tuning on page 12 to convert these values to hexadecimal, and transmit them as Exclusive data. For example, to set the tune (C-B) of the Part1 Arabian Scale, send the following data:
F0 41 10 42 12 40 11 40 3A 6D 3E 34 0D 38 6B 3C 6F 40 36 0F 76 F7

6Equal Temperament
This method of tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts. It is currently the most widely used form of tuning, especially in occidental
music. On the E-A7, the default settings for the Scale Tune feature
produce equal temperament.
6Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
The principal triads resound much more beautifully than with equal temperament, but this benet can only be obtained in one key. If
transposed, the chords tend to become ambiguous. The example given
involves settings for a key in which C is the keynote.
6Arabic Scale
By altering the setting for Scale Tune, you can obtain a variety of
other tunings suited for ethnic music. For example, the settings introduced below will set the unit to use the Arabic scale.
