MIDI Implementation
❍ General Purpose Controller 6 (Controller number 81) (Rotary Brake)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 51H vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
vv = control value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127) 0-63 = SPIN, 64-127 = BRAKE
* When SUB KEYBOARD FUNCTION is OFF (p. 58), this is received on the channel
specified for CONTROL MIDI CH. (p. 54) (factory setting: channel 1).
* Not received when MIDI GENERAL CONTROLLERS SWITCH (p. 53) is OFF.
❍ RPN MSB/LSB (Controller number 100, 101)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 65H mmH
BnH 64H llH
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.
RPN Data entry
MSB, LSB MSB, LSB Notes
00H, 00H mmH, llH Pitch Bend Sensitivity
mm: 00H - 18H (0 - 24 semitones)
ll: ignored (processed as 00H)
Up to 2 octave can be specified in semitone steps.
* Not received by the Organ part.
00H, 01H mmH, llH Master Fine Tuning
mm, ll: 20 00H - 40 00H - 60 00H (-8192 x 50 /
8192 - 0 - +8192 x 50 / 8192 cent)
* Not received by the Organ part.
00H, 02H mmH, llH Master Coarse Tuning
mm: 10H - 40H - 70H (-48 - 0 - +48 semitones)
ll: ignored (processed as 00H)
* Not received by the Organ part.
7FH, 7FH ---, --- RPN null
RPN and NRPN will be set as “unspecified.”
Once this setting has been made, subsequent
Parameter values that were previously set will
not change.
mm, ll: ignored
● Program Change
Status 2nd byte
CnH ppH
n = MIDI channel number : 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
pp = program number : 00H - 3FH (prog.1 - prog.64) (Preset)
00H - 07H (prog.1 - prog.8) (Other Tones)
* Not received when MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE SWITCH is OFF (p. 53) (factory setting:
ON).
* Presets are received on the channel specified by CONTROL MIDI CH. (p. 54) (factory
setting: channel 1). The Other Tones part is received on the channel specified by OTHER
TONES MIDI CH. (p. 54) (factory setting: channel 4).
* Preset numbers will be switched when SUB KEYBOARD FUNCTION (p. 58) is ON.
● Pitch Bend Change
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
EnH llH mmH
n = MIDI channel number : 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
mm,ll=Pitch Bend value : 00 00H - 40 00H - 7F 7FH (-8192 - 0 - +8191)
* Received only for the Other Tones Part.
■ Channel Mode messages
● All Sound Off (Controller number 120)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 78H 00H
n = MIDI channel number : 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
* When this message is received, all notes currently sounding on the corresponding
channel will be turned off.
● Reset All Controllers (Controller number 121)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 79H 00H
n = MIDI channel number : 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
* When this message is received, the following controllers will be set to their reset values.
Controller Reset value
Pitch Bend Change ±0 (center)
Modulation 0
(off)
Hold 1 0 (off)
● All Note Off (Controller number 123)
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
BnH 7BH 00H
n = MIDI channel number : 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
* When All Note Off is received, all currently sounding notes of the corresponding
channel will be turned off. However if Hold 1 is on, the sound will be held until these are
turned off.
■ System Realtime Messages
● Active Sensing
Status
FEH
*
When an Active Sensing message is received, the unit will begin monitoring the interval
at which MIDI messages are received. During monitoring, if more than 420 ms passes
without a message being received, the same processing will be done as when All Sound
Off, All Note Off, and Reset All Controllers messages are received. Then monitoring will
be halted.
■ System Exclusive Messages
Status data byte Status
F0H iiH, ddH, ......, eeH F7H
F0H : System Exclusive message status
ii = ID number : This is the ID number (manufacturer ID) that specifies the
manufacturer whose exclusive message this is. Roland’s manufacturer
ID is 41H.ID numbers 7EH and 7FH are defined in an expansion of the
MIDI standard as Universal Non-realtime messages (7EH) and
Universal Realtime Messages (7FH).
dd,..., ee = data : 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
F7H : EOX (End Of Exclusive) This is the last status of system exclusive
message.
The System Exclusive Messages received by VK-8 are; messages related to mode settings,
Universal Realtime System Exclusive messages, Data Requests (RQ1), and Data Set (DT1).
● Universal Non-realtime System Exclusive Messages
❍ Identity Request Message
Status Data byte Status
F0H 7EH, dev, 06H, 01H F7H

dev Device ID (dev: 10H (17) fixed)
06H Sub ID#1 (General Information)
01H Sub ID#2 (Identity Request)
