❍ Sostenuto (Controller number 66)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 42H vvH
n = MIDI channel number : 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = Control value : 00H-7FH (0-127) 0-63 = OFF, 64-127 = ON
* Not received when Rx.SOSTENUTO = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
❍ Soft (Controller number 67)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 43H vvH
n = MIDI channel number : 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = Control value : 00H-7FH (0-127) 0-63 = OFF, 64-127 = ON
* Not received when Rx.SOFT = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
❍ Portamento control (Controller number 84)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 54H kkH
n = MIDI channel number : 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
kk = source note number : 00H-7FH (0-127)
* A Note-on received immediately after a Portamento Control message will change
continuously in pitch, starting from the pitch of the Source Note Number.
* If a voice is already sounding for a note number identical to the Source Note
Number, this voice will continue sounding (i.e., legato) and will, when the next Note-
on is received, smoothly change to the pitch of that Note-on.
* The rate of the pitch change caused by Portamento Control is determined by the
Portamento Time value.
Example 1.

❍ Effect 1 (Reverb Send Level) (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), Initial Value = 28H (40)
* This message adjusts the Reverb Send Level of each Part.
❍ Effect 3 (Chorus Send Level) (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), Initial Value = 00H (0)
* This message adjusts the Chorus Send Level of each Part.
❍ Effect 4 (Delay Send Level) (Controller number 94) [88]
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 5EH vvH
n=MIDI channel number : 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
vv=Delay Send Level : 00H - 7FH (0 - 127), Initial value = 00H (0)
* This message adjusts the Delay Send Level of each Part.
* Some other GS devices may not recognize this message.
* Delay cannot be used in MODE-2 (Double Module mode).
❍ NRPN MSB/LSB (Controller number 98, 99)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 63H mmH
BnH 62H llH
n = MIDI channel number : 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
mm = upper byte of the parameter number specified by NRPN
ll = lower byte of the parameter number specified by NRPN
* NRPN can be received when Rx.NRPN = ON. "Rx.NRPN" is set to OFF by power-
on reset or by receiving "Turn General MIDI System On," and it is set to ON by "GS
RESET."
* The value set by NRPN will not be reset even if Program Change or Reset All
Controllers is received.
**NRPN**
The NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) message allows an extended
range of control changes to be used. On this unit, NRPN messages can be used to
modify sound parameters etc.
To use these messages, you must first use NRPN messages (Controller number 98
and 99, their order does not matter) to specify the parameter to be controlled, and
then use Data Entry messages to specify the value of the specified parameter. Once
an NRPN parameter has been specified, all Data Entry messages received on that
channel will modify the value of that parameter. To prevent accidents, it is recom-
mended that you set RPN Null (RPN Number = 7FH/7FH) when you have finished
setting the value of the desired parameter. Refer to Section 5. Supplementary mate-
rial "Examples of actual MIDI messages" (page 207). On this unit,
Data entry LSB (Controller number 38) of NRPN is ignored, so it is no problem to
send Data entry MSB (Controller number 6) only (without Data entry LSB).
On this unit, NRPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

* Data entry LSB (llH) is ignored.
* Parameters marked "relative change" will change relative to the preset value(40H).
Even among different GS devices, "relative change" parameters may sometimes dif-
fer in the way the sound changes or in the range of change.
* Parameters marked "absolute change" will be set to the absolute value of the para-
meter, regardless of the preset value.
* It is not possible to simultaneously use both Chorus Send Level and Delay Send
Level on a single Drum Instrument.
