n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
mm = upper byte (MSB) of parameter number specified by RPN
ll = lower byte (LSB) of parameter number specified by RPN
<<< RPN >>>
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.
This device receives the following RPNs.

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 21H.
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.
