MIDI Implementation
Model: V-Combo VR-09
Date: Feb. 1, 2013
Version: 1.00
1. Receive Channel
Performance Parts and Transmission Channels
This instrument contains two sound generators: one for accompaniment (GM2) and
one for keyboard performance.
Normally, data received at the MIDI IN connector will control only the sound generator for keyboard performance. However by changing the “MIDI IN Mode” setting, you
can control the GM2 sound generator from MIDI In.
For instructions on changing the “MIDI IN Mode,” refer to the Owner’s Manual.
For instructions on controlling each sound generator, refer to the “Received data”
section.
MIDI IN Mode
Mode Explanation
MODE 1 Control the instrument as a GM2 sound generator.
MODE 2 Channels 5 through 10 and Channels 12,14,15 are transmitted
to the GM2 sound generator, and all other channels are
transmitted to the keyboard sound generator.
KEYBOARD
The correspondence between channels and parts in each mode is described below.
ch MODE1 MODE2 KEYBOARD
1 GM2 PIANO DUAL2* LOWER
2 GM2 PEDAL LOWER
3 GM2 LOWER LOWER
4 GM2 UPPER LOWER
5-10 GM2 GM2 LOWER
11 GM2 DRUM LOWER
12 GM2 GM2 LOWER
13 GM2 (Reserve) LOWER
14-15 GM2 GM2 LOWER
16 GM2 CONTROL LOWER
* Valid in dual mode if a piano sound is assigned to part 2.
All channels are sent to the lower part for keyboard performance.
2. Transmit Channel
Keyboard and Transmit Channel
You can control external MIDI devices using the VR-09’s MIDI OUT connector. Data
describing what is played on the upper part, the lower part, and the pedal part is
transmitted over MIDI channels for the respective parts.
Messages from the expression pedal and PC Numbers set in the Registrations are
transmitted on the Control channel.
The channels used for transmission can be changed individually for each Registration. For instructions on how to change the transmission channels, refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
3. Receive Data
[GM2] This indicates that the message will be received if the MIDI IN
Mode is MODE 1 and the unit is in GM2 mode. Use GM2 System
On (p. 5) to select GM2 mode.
[GM1] This indicates that the message will be received if the MIDI IN
Mode is MODE 1 and the unit is in GM1 mode. Use GM1 System
On (p. 5) to select GM1 mode.
[VR-09] This indicates that the message will be received on the
keyboard part if the MIDI IN Mode is MODE 2. For details on the
keyboard part, refer to “1. Receive Channel” (p. 1).

Change or Reset All Controller.
**RPN**
The RPN (Registered Parameter Number) messages are expanded control changes,
and each function of an RPN is described by the MIDI Standard.
To use these messages, you must rst use RPN MSB and RPN LSB messages to specify
the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages to specify the
value of the specied parameter. Once an RPN parameter has been specied, all Data
Entry messages received on that channel will modify the value of that parameter. To
prevent accidents, it is recommended that you set RPN Null (RPN Number = 7FH/7FH)
when you have nished setting the value of the desired parameter.Refer to Section 6.
“Examples of actual MIDI messages” <Example 4> (p. 14).
On the VR-09, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

These messages are used to initialize a device to General MIDI mode or change the
operating mode.
When creating performance data, a “GM2 System On” or “GM1 System On” message
should be inserted at the beginning of a General MIDI score. Each song should
contain only one mode message as appropriate for the type of data. (Do not insert
two or more mode setting messages in a single song.)

Data transmission
VR-09 can receive the various parameters using System Exclusive messages.
When keyboard part in MIDI IN Mode: Mode 2, the exclusive message has a model ID
of 62H and a device ID of 10H (17).

aaH Address MSB: upper byte of the starting address of the
transmitted data
bbH Address: middle byte of the starting address of the transmitted
data
ccH Address LSB: lower byte of the starting address of the
transmitted data
ddH Data: the actual data to be transmitted. Multiple bytes of data
are transmitted starting from the address.

F7H EOX (End of Exclusive)
* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of
data, and data can be received only from the specied starting address and size.
Refer to the Address and Size given in “5. Parameter Address Map” (p. 11).
* Data larger than 128 bytes must be divided into packets of 128 bytes or less. If
“Data Set 1” is transmitted successively, there must be an interval of at least 40 ms
between packets.
* Regarding the checksum please refer to “Example of an Exclusive Message and
Calculating a Checksum” (p. 14).
