Note: The Global Parameters Data Dump is not recognized when received; it is
only transmitted when requested. NRPN messages are used to change Globals.
Packed Data Format
Data is packed in 8 byte “packets”, with the MS bit stripped from 7 parameter
bytes, and packed into an eighth byte, which is sent at the start of the 8 byte
packet.

the low-pass filter and analog oscillator waveshapes. This should not be
necessary for normal operation.
Another (literally) hidden function: Carefully insert a small, standard
