Technics sx-PR604/M - Manual (Page 127)

The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.
NOTE data
This is the most basic kind of MIDI data which is exchanged,
and is used to specify which keys are played and how hard
they are played.
NOTE NUMBER: Number specifying which key is played.
NOTE ON: Specifies that a key is played.
NOTE OFF: Specifies that a key is released.
VELOCITY: Specifies how hard a key is struck.
• MIDI notes are assigned numbers from 0 to 127, with middle
C (C3) as 60. Note pitches are in semitone increments,
with the higher numbers assigned to the higher pitches.
PROGRAM CHANGE
This is sound change data. When a different sound is selected
on the transmitting instrument, the sound on the receiving
instrument also changes.
CONTROL CHANGE
These are volume, sustain, effect, etc. data used to enhance
performance expression. Each function is distinguished by
its control number, and the function which can be changed
by the control differs depending on the instrument.
EXCLUSIVE data
This is data that is specific to this instrument, and data for
the GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 mode setting.
