Frequently Asked Questions
What is the usable range for MIDI notes and velocity values?
Notes are defined by `kk` (00H - 7FH), while velocities typically use a range of 00H - 7FH.
Under what condition will adjustments to the Pan parameter be ignored?
The Pan parameter is not received when the Rx Pan parameter (SOUND CTRL: MIDI RX) is OFF.
How does Portamento Time affect sound changes?
The Porta Time parameter (PROGRAM SOUND: TONE) will change based on its incoming data stream.
What are the available values for Volume and Modulation settings?
Volume (`vv`) and Modulation depth utilize a value range from 00H to 7FH, representing 0 to 127 units.
