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.

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 53H.
Data Request 1RQ1 (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.
