168RC MIDI specifications
7. 168RC MIDI specif ¡cations
The functions which can be performed on the 168RC via MIDI can be broadly classified into the
following.
• Using program change messages for Program Recall, EQ Memory Read, and Effect Memory
Read.
• Using control change messages or NRPN messages to operate parameters.
• Using System Exclusive messages for extended functionality.
• Using Channel Pressure messages for linked Solo Active.
The MIDI channels given in the explanation here will be for reception. Be aware that in actuality,
the transmission and reception channels can be set separately.
Parameter changes
There are 617 parameters which can be modified. These can be edited using Control Change mes­
sages or NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) messages. For the function of each param­
eter number, refer to 7.168RC PARAMETERS LIST WITH ORIGINAL NO. («a- p.89)'.
Parameter changes using Control Change messages
You can select from the following three types.
Type 1
All control change numbers (00-95) will be used. The first 96 parameters will be received on the
Rx base channel, the next 97-192 parameters on the Rx base + 1 channel, and so on. This means
that seven channels of control change message are used by the 617 parameters.

instruments will be avoided.

This means that only 79 parameters can be handled by one channel, and they will be assigned as
follows.
