BnH 64H llH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
mm = upper byte of parameter number specified by RPN
ll = lower byte of parameter number specified by RPN
* The value specified 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 first 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
specified parameter. Once an RPN parameter has been specified, 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 finished
setting the value of the desired parameter.
On the HP-237, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.
RPN Data entry

Set condition where RPN and NRPN are
unspecified. The data entry messages after set
RPN null will be ignored. (No Data entry
messages are required after RPN null).
Settings already made will not change.
