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.

**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:

5The value specied by RPN will not be reset even by messages

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.
