Control Changes include RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers), which are extended.
When using RPNs, first RPN (Controller numbers 100 and 101; they can be sent in any order) should be sent in order to select
the parameter, then Data Entry (Controller numbers 6 and 38) should be sent to set the value. Once RPN messages are received,
Data Entry messages that is received at the same MIDI channel after that are recognized as changing toward the value of the
RPN messages. In order not to make any mistakes, transmitting RPN Null is recommended after setting parameters you need.
This device receives the following RPNs.

* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and data will be transmitted from the
specified starting address and size. Refer to the address and size given in "Parameter Address Map".
* Data larger than 256 bytes will be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and each packet will be sent at an interval of
about 20 ms.
