Basic Section

Used primarily as offset values for vibrato, filter, EG and other
settings. Data Entry is used to set the parameter value after
specifying the parameter using the NRPN MSB and LSB.
Once an NRPN is specified, the following data entry message
received on the same channel is processed as the value of
that NRPN. Prevent operational errors by transmitting an RPN
Null message (7FH, 7FH) after using these messages to
perform a control operation. Refer to “NRPN” for information
about the parameter (page 79).

n This MIDI event cannot be handled by the tone generator

block, although it can be recorded to a Song/Pattern track.

RPN MSB (Registered Parameter Number MSB)
(Control Number 101)
RPN LSB (Registered Parameter Number LSB)
(Control Number 100)

Used primarily as offset values for pitch bend sensitivity,
tuning, and other part settings. Data Entry (page 77) is used to
set the parameter value after specifying the parameter using
the RPN MSB and RPN LSB. Once an RPN is specified, the
following data entry message received on the same channel is
processed as the value of that RPN. Prevent operational errors
by transmitting an Null message (7FH, 7FH) after using these
messages to perform a control operation. Refer to “RPN” for
information about the parameter.

All Sound Off (Control Number 120)

Turns all currently sounding notes off for all Parts.

Reset All Controllers (Control Number 121)

Resets all controllers to their initial values. The following
parameters are affected: Pitch Bend, Channel Pressure,
Polyphonic Key Pressure, Modulation, Expression, Hold 1,
Portamento, Sostenuto, Soft Pedal, Portamento Control, RPN*,
NRPN* (*The RPN and NRPN are specified as having no
number, and no internal data is changed). The following data
is not affected: Program Change, Bank Select MSB and LSB,
Volume, Pan, Dry Send Level, Effect Send Level 1, 3, and 4,
Pitch Sensitivity, Fine Tuning, Coarse Tuning.

Omni Mode Off (Control Number 124)

Performs the same operation as when an All Notes Off
message is received. The receive channel is set to 1.

Omni Mode On (Control Number 125)

Performs the same operation as when an All Notes Off message
is received. Only the receive channel is set to Omni On.

Mono (Control Number 126)

Performs the same operation as when an All Sound Off
message is received. If the 3rd byte parameter (the parameter
that determines the mono number) is 0 – 16, the Parts
corresponding to those channels are set to mono.

Poly (Control Number 127)

Performs the same operation as when an All Sound Off
message is received, and the Parts corresponding to those
channels are set to poly.

Channel Aftertouch (CAT)

This event is generated when pressure is applied to a key after
the note is played.
The data (000 – 127) represents the amount of pressure
applied to the key. The bar graph to the right is a graphic
representation of the value.

Polyphonic Aftertouch (PAT)

This event is generated when pressure is applied to a key after
the note is played. Unlike the Channel Aftertouch event,
however, individual data is provided for each key. Note Name
(C -2 – G8) specifies the key. The data (000 – 127) represents
the amount of pressure applied to the key. The bar graph to
the right is a graphic representation of the value.

n The Polyphonic Aftertouch cannot be handled by the tone

generator block although this event can be recorded to a
Song/Pattern track.

Registered Parameter Number (RPN)

Changes parameter values for each tone generator part.
Normally three types of control change data are sent: RPN
MSB (101), RPN LSB (100), and Data Entry MSB (6). In the
MOTIF XS, Data Entry LSB (38) is added to this and the
resulting group of control change events is handled as one.
Once an RPN is specified, the following data entry message
received on the same channel is processed as the value of
that RPN. Prevent operational errors by transmitting a Null
message (7FH, 7FH) after using these messages to perform a
control operation. The MOTIF XS tone generator block allows
control of the 4 following parameters:
