<<< RPN >>> Control Changes include RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers), which are extended. When using RPNs, rst 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.

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 00H 2BH.

 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 amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of

data, and data will be transmitted from the specied starting address and size. Refer to the address and size given in “3. Parameter Address Map” (p. 9).

* Data larger than 256 bytes will be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and

each packet will be sent at an interval of about 20 ms.

* Regarding the checksum, please refer to p. 15.

Address MSB: upper byte of the starting address of the data to be sent Address: upper middle byte of the starting address of the data to be sent Address: lower middle byte of the starting address of the data to be sent Address LSB: lower byte of the starting address of the data to be sent. Data: the actual data to be sent. Multiple bytes of data are transmitted in order starting from the address.
