1.Receive Data
■ Channel Voice Messages
● Note Off
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) kk = Note number: 00H–7FH (0–127) vv = Note Off velocity: 00H–7FH (0–127)
* This is not received if the part and note number that receives this message has a Trigger
Mode setting of TRIGGER or DRUM.
● Note On
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) kk = note number: 00H–7FH (0–127) vv = Note On velocity: 01H–7FH (1–127)
* If the sample assigned to the part and note number that receives this message has a Trigger
Mode setting of TRIGGER, and if that note is sounding, this will function as note-off.
● Polyphonic Aftertouch
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) kk = note number: 00H–7FH (0–127) vv = Polyphonic Aftertouch: 00H–7FH (0–127)
* When received on the control channel, this will affect all parts.
❍ Panpot (Controller number 10)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Panpot: 00H–40H–7FH (0–64–127)
* Adjust the stereo location over 128 steps, where 0 is far left, 64 is center, and 127 is far right.
❍ Expression (Controller number 11)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Expression: 00H–7FH (0–127)
❍ Hold 1 (Controller number 64)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127), 0–63 = OFF, 64–127 = ON
❍ Portamento (Controller number 65)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127), 0–63 = OFF, 64–127 = ON
* This will change the Portamento Sw parameter setting of the sample assigned to the part
that receives this.
* Not received on the Control channel.
❍ Hold 2 (Controller number 69)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Control value: 00H–7FH (0–127), 0–63 = OFF, 64–127 = ON
● Control Change
* Not received when the Receive switch (SYSTEM/MIDI/RX SW) is OFF. * If this is received on the control channel (SYSTEM/MIDI/GENERAL), the effect will apply
to all parts, unless otherwise noted for each item.
❍ Modulation (Controller number 1)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Modulation depth: 00H–7FH (0–127)
❍ Portamento Time (Controller number 5)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Portamento Time: 00H–7FH (0–127)
* This will affect the Portamento Time parameter of the sample assigned to the part that
receives the message.
* Not received on the Control channel.
❍ Data Entry (Controller number 6, 38)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) mm,ll = the value of the parameter specified by RPN/NRPN mm = MSB, ll = LSB
* Not received on the Control channel.
❍ Volume (Controller number 7)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Volume: 00H–7FH (0–127)
❍ Portamento Control (Controller number 84)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) kk = Source note number: 00H–7FH (0–127)
*A Note On message received immediately after a Portamento control will be sounded with
the pitch changing smoothly from the source note number. If a voice is already sounding at the same note number as the source note number, that voice will change pitch to the pitch of the newly received Note On, and continue sounding (i.e., will be played legato).
* The speed of pitch change produced by portamento control will depend on the setting of
the Portamento Time parameter of the sample assigned to the part that receives this.
* Not received on the Control channel.
❍ Effect 1 (Reverb Send Level) (Controller number 91)
(Controller number 91) status 2nd byte 3rd byte BnH 5BH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Reverb Send Level: 00H–7FH (0–127)
* The Reverb Send Level parameter will change. * Not received on the Control channel.
❍ Effect 3 (Chorus Send Level) (Controller number 93)
(Controller number 93) status 2nd byte 3rd byte BnH 5DH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) vv = Chorus Send Level: 00H–7FH (0–127)
* The Chorus Send Level parameter will change. * Not received on the Control channel.

MIDI Implementation
❍ RPN MSB/LSB (Controller number 100, 101)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) mm = MSB of the parameter number specified by RPN ll = LSB of the parameter number specified by RPN
* Not received on the Control channel.
<<< RPN >>> Control Changes include RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers), which are extended parameters whose function is defined in the MIDI specification. When using RPNs, first the RPN (Controller numbers 100 and 101; they can be sent in any order) is transmitted to specify the parameter you wish to control. Then, Data Entry messages (Controller numbers 6 and 38) are used to set 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. In order to prevent accidents, when the desired setting has been made for the parameter, it is recommended that RPN be set to Null. This device receives the following RPNs.
RPN Data entry MSB LSB 00H 00H mmH 11H Pitch Bend Sensitivity
00H 01H mmH llH Channel Fine Tuning
00H 02H mmH 11H Channel Coarse Tuning
7FH 7FH mmH 11H RPN null
MSB LSB Notes
mm: 00H–0CH (0–12 semitones) ll: ignored (processed as 00H) Up to 1 octave can be specified in semitone steps. * The Bend Range Up/Down parameters will also change.
mm, ll: 20 00H–40 00H–60 00H (-4096 *100 / 8192–0– +4096 *100 / 8192 cent) * The Fine Tune parameter (PERFORM/PART/SOUND/
FINE) will change.
mm: 34H–40H–4CH (-12–0– +12 semitones) ll: ignored (processed as 00H) * The Coarse Tune parameter will change.
RPN and NRPN will be set as "unspecified." Once this setting has been made, subsequent Data Entry messages will be ignored. (It is not necessary to transmit Data Entry for RPN Null settings.) Settings already made will not change. mm, ll: ignored
● Program Change
status 2nd byte CnH ppH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H–FH (ch.1–ch.16) pp=Program number: 00H–7FH (prog.1–prog.128)

F0H iiH, ddH, ......, eeH F7H
● Data Transmission
The VariOS can transmit and receive the various parameters using System Exclusive messages. The model ID of the exclusive messages used by this instrument is 00 1DH.
❍ 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.
