* This message will be received if the Sync Mode parameter is SLAVE. Settings can be

made to synchronize the LFO rate.

Active Sensing

Status

*When Active Sensing is received, the unit will begin monitoring the intervals of all

further messages. While monitoring, if the interval between messages exceeds 420 ms,
the same processing will be carried out as when All Sounds Off, All Notes Off and Reset

ii = ID number: an ID number (manufacturer ID) to indicate the manufacturer whose

dd,...,ee = data: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
F7H: EOX (End Of Exclusive)

Of the System Exclusive messages received by this device, the Data Request (RQ1) messages
and the Data Set (DT1) messages will be set automatically.

Data byte Status

Exclusive message this is. Roland’s manufacturer ID is 41H.
ID numbers 7EH and 7FH are extensions of the MIDI standard;
Universal Non-realtime Messages (7EH) and Universal Realtime

Data Request 1 (RQ1)

This message requests the other device to transmit data. The address and size indicate the
type and amount of data that is requested.
When a Data Request message is received, if the device is in a state in which it is able to
transmit data, and if the address and size are appropriate, the requested data is transmitted
as a Data Set 1 (DT1) message. If the conditions are not met, nothing is transmitted.
The model ID of the exclusive messages used by this instrument is 00 4FH.
