* 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-2/3/7, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

Data transmission

HP-2/3/7 can transmit and receive the various parameters using System Exclusive
messages.
The exclusive message of HP-2/3/7 data has a model ID of 1AH, and device ID is defined
by MIDI UNIT NUMBER(UNIT#).
UNIT NUMBER(UNIT#) is always the same as the current basic channel.

Basic Channel

The basic channel is determined by the setting of the MIDI transmit channel.

MIDI Transmit Channel

Decimal and Hexadecimal table

In MIDI documentation, data values and addresses/sizes of exclusive messages etc. are
expressed as hexadecimal values for each 7 bits.
The following table shows how these correspond to decimal numbers.

* Decimal values such as MIDI channel and program change are listed as one (1) greater

than the values given in the above table.

*A 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.

Digital Piano Date:Dec. 20, 2001 Model:HP-2/3/7 MIDI Implementation

What is the decimal expression of 5AH ?
From the preceding table, 5AH = 90

Therefore, the message to send is : F0 41 00 1A 12 01 03 30 4C F7

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

Examples of actual MIDI messages

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.

CE 10
CnH is the Program Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. Since EH = 14 and
10H = 16, this is a Program Change message with MIDI CH = 15, program number 17
(Strings in HP-2/3/7).

B3 64 00 65 01 06 40 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 messages 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 01 (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 01H
(B3) 06 40 (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of parameter value: 40H
(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 40 00H for RPN parameter number
00 01H (Master Fine Tuning) on MIDI channel 4, and then set the RPN parameter number to
7F 7FH (RPN null).
Once the parameter number has been specified for RPN, 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.

About tuning

HP-2/3/7 is tuned by sending RPN #1 (Master Fine Tuning) to the basic channel.
RPN #1 allows tuning to be specified in steps of approximately 0.012 cents (to be
precise, 100/8192 cent). One cent is 1/100th of a semi-tone.
Frequently used tuning values are given in the following table for your reference.
Values are in hexadecimal (decimal in parentheses).

+------------+----------+-------------------+
|Hz at A4| cent | RPN #1 |
+------------+----------+-------------------+
| 445.0 | +19.56 | 4C 43 (+1603)|
| 444.0 | +15.67 | 4A 03 (+1283)|
| 443.0 | +11.76 | 47 44 (+ 964) |
| 442.0 | + 7.85 | 45 03 (+ 643) |
| 441.0 | + 3.93 | 42 42 (+ 322) |
| 440.0 | 0 | 40 00 ( 0 ) |
| 439.0 | - 3.94 | 3D 3D (- 323) |
| 438.0 | - 7.89 | 3A 7A (- 646) |
+------------+----------+-------------------+

<Example> Set the tuning of HP-2/3/7 to A4 = 442.0 Hz
Send RPN#1 to basic channel. From the above table, the value is 45 03H.
If the basic channel is set to ch.1, below is the message we transmit.

B0 64 00 MIDI ch.1, lower byte of RPN parameter number: 00H
(B0) 65 01 (MIDI ch.1) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 01H
(B0) 06 45 (MIDI ch.1) upper byte of parameter value: 45H
(B0) 26 03 (MIDI ch.1) lower byte of parameter value: 03H
(B0) 64 7F (MIDI ch.1) lower byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH
(B0) 65 7F (MIDI ch.1) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH

Example of an Exclusive message and calculating a

Checksum

Roland Exclusive messages (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 of the transmitted exclusive message.

How 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 message we are transmitting, the address is aa bb and
the data or size is ccH.

aa + bb + cc = sum
sum / 128 = quotient ... remainder
128 - remainder = checksum

Set "Reverb Type" to "Type 4"
According to the Parameter Address Map, the Address of Reverb Type is 01 03H, and
the Value corresponding to Type 4 is 30H.
So, the message should be :

F0 41 00 1A 12 01 03 30 ?? F7

-- -- -- -- -- ------ -- -- -­ (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address data checksum (6)

(1)Exclusive Status (2)ID (Roland) (3)Device ID (UNIT#-1)
(4)Model ID (HP-2/3/7) (5)Command ID (DT1) (6)End of Exclusive

* UNIT NUMBER is always the same as the current basic channel.

In this example, the basic channel is 1.

Next we calculate the checksum.

01H + 03H + 30H = 1 + 3 + 48 = 52(sum)
52(sum) / 128 = 0(quotient) ... 52(remainder)
checksum = 128 - 52(remainder) = 76 = 4CH
