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 MSB and RPN LSB messages to specify
the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages to specify the
value of the specied parameter. Once an RPN parameter has been specied, 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 Section 4.
“Examples of actual MIDI messages” <Example 4>
On this instrument, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

The System Exclusive Messages received by this instrument are; messages related
to mode settings, Universal Realtime System Exclusive messages, and Universal
Non-realtime System Exclusive messages.
7System Exclusive Messages Related to Mode Settings
These messages are used to initialize a device to GM mode.
When creating performance data, you should insert “GM1 System On” at the beginning of a GM1 score, or “GM2 System On” at the beginning of a GM2 score. However,
each song should contain only the single mode message that is appropriate for that
song. (Do not insert multiple mode setting messages in the same song.)
“GM System On” uses Universal Non-realtime Message format.
6 GM1 System On
This is a command message that resets the internal settings of the unit to the General
MIDI initial state (General MIDI System-Level 1). After receiving this message, this
instrument will automatically be set to the proper condition for correctly playing a
GM1 score.
