Power Supply

301

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

355

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

557

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

■System Exclusive Message

●Data transmission

The UM-880 can use Exclusive messages to transmit internal settings to other devices. There are two types of Exclusive data transmission;

Transmission

Bulk Dump Transmission (p. 70) in which a large amount of data is transmitted at once.

(p. 68) in which single parameters are transmitted one by one, and

❍Request data 1 RQ1 (11H)

This message requests the other device to send data. The Address and Size determine the type and amount of data to be sent. There are two types of request; Individual Parameter Request which requests data for an individual parameter, and Bulk Dump Request which requests a large amount of data at once. In either case, the “Data Request 1 (RQ1)” message format is used, and the Address and Size included in the message determine the type and amount of data that is desired. For Individual Parameter Request, Individual Parameter Transmission (p. 68) For Bulk Dump Request, refer to Bulk Dump (p. 70) When a Data Request message is received, if the device is ready to transmit data and if the address and size are appropriate, the requested data will be transmitted as a “Data Set 1 (DT1)” message. If not, nothing will be transmitted.

4. Bulk Dump

By using Bulk Dump, a large amount of data can be transferred at once. This is used to store settings for an entire device onto a computer or sequencer. In order to make the UM-880 transmit a bulk dump, send it the bulk dump request messages listed below. Bulk dump requests use the Data Request 1 (RQ1) format, but unlike the case when transmitting individual parameters, the "size" in the request message does not specify the data size, but rather is used to specify the contents of the data. For the actual contents of the data corresponding to each size, refer to the "Parameter Dump" section. When the UM-880 receives a bulk dump request, it will transmit a bulk dump in the format described below.

■Parameter dump

❍Parameter dump request

This is a command that requests a set of parameter data, and uses “Data Request 1 (RQ1)” format. The Size specifies the requested data contents.

* Decimal values such as MIDI channel, bank select, and program change are

listed as one 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.

* In the case of values which have a +/- sign, 00H = -64, 40H = +/-0, and 7FH =

+63, so that the decimal expression would be 64 less than the value given in the above chart. In the case of two types, 00 00H = -8192, 40 00H = +/-0, and 7F 7FH = +8191. For example, if aa bbH were expressed as decimal, this would be aa bbH - 40 00H = aa x 128+bb - 64 x 128.

* Data marked “Use nibbled data” is expressed in hexadecimal in 4-bit units. A

value expressed as a 2-byte nibble 0a 0bH has the value of a x 16+b.

<Example 1> What is the decimal expression of 5AH ? From the preceding table, 5AH = 90

<Example 2> What is the decimal expression of the value 12 34H given as

Since from the preceding table, 0 = 00H, 4 = 04H, 14 = 0EH, 10 = 0AH, the result is: 00 04 0E 0AH.

●Examples of actual MIDI messages

<Example 1> 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.

<Example 2> CE 49 CnH is the Program Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. Since EH = 14 and 49H = 73, this is a Program Change message with MIDI CH = 15, program number 74 (Flute in GS).

<Example 3> EA 00 28 EnH is the Pitch Bend Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. The 2nd byte (00H = 0) is the LSB and the 3rd byte (28H = 40) is the MSB, but Pitch Bend Value is a signed number in which 40 00H (= 64 x 12+80 = 8192) is 0, so this Pitch Bend Value is 28 00H - 40 00H = 40 x 12+80 - (64 x 12+80) = 5120 - 8192 = -3072

If the Pitch Bend Sensitivity is set to 2 semitones, -8192 (00 00H) will cause the pitch to change -200 cents, so in this case -200 x (-3072) ÷ (-8192) = -75 cents of Pitch Bend is being applied to MIDI channel 11.

<Example 4> B3 64 00 65 00 06 0C 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 00 (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number:00H (B3) 06 0C (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of parameter value:0CH (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 0C 00H for RPN parameter number 00 00H on MIDI channel 4, and then set the RPN parameter number to 7F 7FH.

RPN parameter number 00 00H is Pitch Bend Sensitivity, and the MSB of the value indicates semitone units, so a value of 0CH = 12 sets the maximum pitch bend range to +/-12 semitones (1 octave). (On GS sound generators the LSB of Pitch Bend Sensitivity is ignored, but the LSB should be transmitted anyway (with a value of 0) so that operation will be correct on any device.)

Once the parameter number has been specified for RPN or NRPN, 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.

It is not desirable for performance data (such as Standard MIDI File data) to contain many events with running status as given in <Example 4>. This is because if playback is halted during the song and then rewound or fast-forwarded, the sequencer may not be able to transmit the correct status, and the sound generator will then misinterpret the data. Take care to give each event its own status.

It is also necessary that the RPN or NRPN parameter number setting and the value setting be done in the proper order. On some sequencers, events occurring in the same (or consecutive) clock may be transmitted in an order different than the order in which they were received. For this reason it is a good idea to slightly skew the time of each event (about 1 tick for TPQN = 96, and about 5 ticks for TPQN = 480).

●Example of an Exclusive message and calculating

a checksum

Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, 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 (or size) 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 ccH and the data or size is dd ee ffH.

aa+bb+cc+dd+ee+ff = sum sum ÷ 128 = quotient ... remainder 128 - remainder = checksum

<Example 1> Set the UM-550's Memory 3 USB 1 Merge setting to "Enable" According to the Parameter address map (p. 69), the address for Memory 3 USB 1 Merge is 03 08H, and for Enable the value of the parameter should be 01H. Thus,

F0 41 10 00 54 12 03 08 02

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) address data checksum (7)

(1) Exclusive Status, (2) ID (Roland), (3) Device ID (17), (4) Model ID MSB, (5) Model ID LSB, (6) Command ID (DT1), (7) End of Exclusive

Next, we calculate the checksum.

03H+08H+01H = 3 + 8 + 1 = 12 (sum) 12 (sum) ÷ 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 12 (remainder) checksum = 128 - 12 (remainder) = 126 = 74H

This means that F0 41 10 00 54 12 03 08 02 74 F7 is the message we transmit.

<Example 2> UM:880: Request data transmission for memory 7 According to the Parameter address map (p. 69), the address is 0A 00H and the size is 00 07H. Thus,

F0 41 10 00 49 11 0A 00 00 07 ?? F7 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) address data checksum (7)

(1) Exclusive Status, (2) ID (Roland), (3) Device ID (17), (4) Model ID MSB, (5) Model ID LSB (6) Command ID(RQ1), (7) End of Exclusive

Next we calculate the checksum.

0AH + 00H + 00H + 07H = 10 + 0 + 0 + 7 = 17 (sum) 17 (sum) ÷ 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 17 (remainder) checksum = 128 - 17 (remainder) = 111 = 6FH

This means that F0 41 10 00 49 11 0A 00 00 07 6F F7 is the message we transmit.
