*A Note-on received immediately after a Portamento Control message will change
continuously in pitch, starting from the pitch of the Source Note Number.
* If a voice is already sounding for a note number identical to the Source Note Number,
this voice will continue sounding (i.e., legato) and will, when the next Note-on is
received, smoothly change to the pitch of that Note-on.
* The rate of the pitch change caused by Portamento Control is determined by the
Portamento Time value.

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.

●Data Transmission
This instrument can use exclusive messages to exchange many varieties of internal settings
with other devices.
The model ID of the exclusive messages used by this instrument is 00H 59H.
❍Data Request 1 RQ1 (11H)
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.
