MIDI Data Format
1. Channel messages
1.1 Note on/note off
These messages convey keyboard performance data.
Range of note numbers received = 0 (C-2)...60 (C3)...127 (G8)
Velocity range = 1...127 (Velocity is received only for note-on)
When the Multi Part parameter "Rcv NOTE MESSAGE" = OFF, that part will
not receive these messages.
For a drum part*, key-off is not received if the DrumSetup parameter Rcv
NOTE OFF = OFF.
For a drum part, key-on is not received if the DrumSetup parameter Rcv NOTE
ON = OFF.
* Drum Part indicates that the Multi Part parameter PART MODE is “set
to DRUM, DRUMS1, DRUMS2.”
1.2 Control changes
These messages control volume or pan etc.
Their functions are differentiated by the control number (Ctrl#).
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv CONTROL CHANGE = OFF, that part will
not receive control changes.
1.2.1 Bank Select
This message selects the voice bank.
Control# Parameter Data Range
0 Bank Select MSB 0, 64, 126, 127 (Normal voice, SFX
voice, SFX kit, Drum kit)
32 Bank Select LSB 0...127
The Bank Select data will be processed only after a Program Change is
received, and then voice bank will change at that time.
If you wish to change the voice bank as well as the voice, you must transmit
Bank Select and Program Change messages as a set, in the order of Bank
Select MSB, LSB, and Program Change.
1.2.2 Modulation
This message is used primarily to control the depth of vibrato, but the depth of
the following 7 types of effect can be controlled.
The effect of this message can be changed by the following parameters.
• Multi Part Parameter
1. MW PITCH CONTROL
2. MW FILTER CONTROL
3. MW AMPLITUDE CONTROL
4. MW LFO PMOD DEPTH
5. MW LFO FMOD DEPTH
6. MW LFO AMOD DEPTH
• Effect1 Parameter
7. MW VARIATION CONTROL DEPTH
(Valid when Variation Effect is assigned to a part as Insertion)
By default, an LFO Pitch Modulation (PMOD) effect will apply.
Control# Parameter Data Range
1 Modulation 0...127
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv MODULATION = OFF, that part will not
receive Modulation.
1.2.3 Portamento Time
This message controls the degree of Portamento (refer to 1.2.9).
Control# Parameter Data Range
5 Portamento Time 0...127
When Portamento (control number 065) is ON, this regulates the speed of the
pitch change.
A value of 0 is the shortest portamento time, and 127 is the longest portamento
time.
If the receive channel is a drum part, Portamento Time is not received.
1.2.4 Data Entry
This message sets the value of the parameter which was specified by RPN
MSB/LSB (see 1.2.22) and NRPN MSB/LSB (see 1.2.21).
Control# Parameter Data Range
6 Data Entry MSB 0...127
38 Data Entry LSB 0...127
1.2.5 Main Volume
This message controls the volume of each part.
This is used to adjust the volume balance between parts.
Control# Parameter Data Range
7 Main Volume 0...127
When the Multi Part parameter Rcv VOLUME = OFF, that part will not
receive Main Volume.
With a value of 0 there will be no sound, and a value of 127 will be the maxi-
mum volume.
1.2.6 Panpot
This message control the panning (stereo location) of each part.
Control# Parameter Data Range
10 Pan 0...64...127
When the Multi Part parameter Rcv PAN = OFF, that part will not receive Pan-
pot.
0 is left, 64 is center, and 127 is right.
1.2.7 Expression
This message controls expression (dynamics within a musical line) for each
part.
It is used to create volume changes during a song.
Control# Parameter Data Range
11 Expression 0...127
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv EXPRESSION = OFF, that part will not
receive Expression.
1.2.8 Hold1
This message controls sustain pedal on/off.
Control# Parameter Data Range
64 Hold1 0...63,64...127 (OFF, ON)
When this is ON, currently-sounding notes will continue to sound even if note-
off messages are received.
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv HOLD1 = OFF, that part will not receive
Hold1.
1.2.9 Portamento
This message controls portamento on/off.
Control# Parameter Data Range
65 Portamento 0...63, 64...127 (OFF, ON)
When this is ON, the pitch will change smoothly between notes. The time over
which the pitch changes is adjusted by Portamento Time (see 1.2.3). Also,
when the Multi Part parameter MONO/POLY MODE = MONO, the tone will
also change smoothly (legato) if Portamento = ON.
If any of the following Multi Part parameter settings apply, that part will not
receive Portamento.
• Rcv PORTAMENTO = OFF
• PART MODE = DRUM, DRUMS1, DRUMS2
1.2.10 Sostenuto
This message controls sostenuto pedal on/off.
Control# Parameter Data Range
66 Sostenuto 0...63,64...127 (OFF, ON)
If sostenuto is turned on while a note is sounding, that note will be sustained
until sostenuto is turned OFF.
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv SOSTENUTO = OFF, that part will not receive
Sostenuto.
1.2.11 Soft Pedal
This message controls soft pedal on/off.
Control# Parameter Data Range
67 Soft Pedal 0...63, 64...127 (OFF, ON)
The sound will become mellower when Soft Pedal is ON.
If any of the following Multi Part parameter settings apply, that part will not
receive the Soft Pedal.
• Rcv SOFT PEDAL = OFF
• PART MODE = DRUM, DRUMS1, DRUMS2
