○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.
On MIDI Description Result
90 3C 40 Note on C4 C4 on
B0 54 3C Portamento no change (C4 voice still sounding)
Control from C4
90 40 40 Note on E4 glide from C4 to E4
80 3C 40 Note off C4 no change
80 40 40 Note off E4 E4 off
Example 2.
On MIDI Description Result
B0 54 3C Portamento no change
Control from C4
90 40 40 Note on E4 E4 is played with glide from C4 to E4
80 40 40 Note off E4 E4 off
○Effect 1 (Reverb Send Level) (Controller number 91)
Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte
BnH 5BH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = Control value : 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 = Control value: 00H-7FH (0-127), Initial Value = 00H (0)
* This message adjusts the Chorus Send Level of each Part.
○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 (MSB) of the parameter number specified by NRPN
ll = lower byte (LSB) of the parameter number specified by NRPN
* Rx.NRPN is set to OFF by power-on reset or by receiving “GM1 System On”
or “GM2 System On,” and NRPN message will be ignored. NRPN message will
be received when Rx.NRPN = ON, or by receiving “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.
To use these messages, you must first use NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB
messages 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
recommended that you set RPN Null (RPN Number = 7FH/7FH) when you
have finished setting the value of the desired parameter. Refer to Section 4.
Supplementary material “Examples of actual MIDI messages” .
On the GS devices, Data entry LSB (llH) of NRPN is ignored, so it is no problem
to send Data entry MSB (mmH) only (without Data entry LSB).
On this instrument, NRPN can be used to modify the following parameters.

* Parameters marked “relative change” will change relatively to the preset
value(40H). Even among different GS devices, “relative change” parameters
may sometimes differ 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
parameter, regardless of the preset value.
* Data entry LSB (llH) is ignored.
○RPN MSB/LSB (Controller number 100, 101)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte

* Not received when Rx.RPN = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
*The value specified by RPN will not be reset even by messages such as
Program 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 first use RPN MSB and RPN LSB messages
