n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)

■Channel Voice Messages vv = Modulation depth: 00H-7FH (0-127)

●Note off Not received when Rx.MODULATION = OFF. (Initial value is ON) The resulting effect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16) For Drum Parts, these messages are received when Rx.NOTE OFF = ON for each vv = Portamento Time: 00H-7FH (0-127), Initial value = 00H (0)

Instrument.

The velocity values of Note Off messages are ignored. This adjusts the rate of pitch change when Portamento is ON or when using the Portamento Control. A value of 0 results in the fastest change.

vv = note on velocity: 01H-7FH (1-127)

mm, ll = the value of the parameter specified by RPN/NRPN mm = MSB, ll = LSB

Not received when Rx.NOTE MESSAGE = OFF. (Initial value is ON) For Drum Parts, not received when Rx.NOTE ON = OFF for each Instrument.

❍Volume (Controller number 7) Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

●Polyphonic Key Pressure

Bn H 07H vv H

Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

An H kk H vv H

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16) vv = Volume: 00H-7FH (0-127), Initial Value = 64H (100)

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16) kk = note number: 00H-7FH (0-127)

Volume messages are used to adjust the volume balance of each Part.

vv = key pressure: 00H-7FH (0-127)

Not received when Rx.VOLUME = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

Not received when Rx.POLY PRESSURE (PAf) = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍Pan (Controller number 10)

The resulting effect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial

●Control Change

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)

When Rx.CONTROL CHANGE = OFF, all control change messages except for Channel

vv = pan: 00H-40H-7FH (Left-Center-Right), Initial Value = 40H (Center)

Mode messages will be ignored. The value specified by a Control Change message will not be reset even by a Program

For Rhythm Parts, this is a relative adjustment of each Instrument’s pan setting.

Some Tones are not capable of being panned all the way to the left or right. Not received when Rx.PANPOT = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍Bank Select (Controller number 0, 32)

Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

❍Expression (Controller number 11)

Bn H 00H mm H

Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

Bn H 20H ll H

Bn H 0BH vv H

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)

mm, ll = Bank number: 00H, 00H-7FH, 7FH (bank.1-bank.16384),

vv = Expression: 00H-7FH (0-127), Initial Value = 7FH (127)

Initial Value = 00 00H (bank.1)

This adjusts the volume of a Part. It can be used independently from Volume messages.

Not received when Rx.BANK SELECT = OFF.

Expression messages are used for musical expression within a performance; e.g.,

“Rx.BANK SELECT” is set to OFF by “GM1 System On,” and Bank Select message will

be ignored.

Not received when Rx.EXPRESSION = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

“Rx.BANK SELECT” is set to ON by “GM2 System On.” “Rx.BANK SELECT” is set to ON by power-on Reset or by receiving “GS RESET.”

❍Hold 1 (Controller number 64)

When Rx.BANK SELECT LSB = OFF, Bank number LSB (ll H) will be handled as 00H

Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

regardless of the received value. However, when sending Bank Select messages, you

have to send both the MSB (mm H) and LSB (ll H, the value should be 00H) together. Bank Select processing will be suspended until a Program Change message is received.

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)

The GS format “Variation number” is the value of the Bank Select MSB (Controller

number 0) expressed in decimal. Some other GS devices do not recognize the Bank Select LSB (Controller number 32).

Not received when Rx.HOLD1 = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
