■Channel Voice Messages

n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16) ●Note off vv = Modulation depth: 00H-7FH (0-127)

Status 2nd byte 3rd byte

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

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

settings, this is Pitch Modulation Depth.

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

kk = note number: 00H-7FH (0-127) ❍Portamento Time (Controller number 5) vv = note off velocity: 00H-7FH (0-127) Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte Bn H 05H vv H

For Drum Parts, these messages are received when Rx.NOTE OFF = ON for each

Instrument. n = MIDI channel number: 0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16) The velocity values of Note Off messages are ignored. vv = Portamento Time: 00H-7FH (0-127), Initial value = 00H (0)

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.

❍Data Entry (Controller number 6, 38) Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

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

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

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

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

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

For Drum Parts, not received when Rx.NOTE ON = OFF for each Instrument.

mm = MSB, ll = LSB

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

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

kk = note number: 00H-7FH (0-127)

vv = Volume: 00H-7FH (0-127), Initial Value = 64H (100)

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

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

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

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

The resulting effect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial settings, there will be no effect.

❍Pan (Controller number 10) Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

●Control Change

Bn H 0AH vv H

When Rx.CONTROL CHANGE = OFF, all control change messages except for Channel Mode messages will be ignored.

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

The value specified by a Control Change message will not be reset even by a Program

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

Change, etc.

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

❍Bank Select (Controller number 0, 32)

Some Tones are not capable of being panned all the way to the left or right.

Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

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

Bn H 00H mm H Bn H 20H ll H

❍Expression (Controller number 11) Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

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

Bn H 0BH vv H

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

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

Not received when Rx.BANK SELECT = OFF. “Rx.BANK SELECT” is set to OFF by “GM1 System On,” and Bank Select message will

be ignored.

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

expression pedal movements, crescendo and decrescendo.

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

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

When Rx.BANK SELECT LSB = OFF, Bank number LSB (ll H) will be handled as 00H regardless of the received value. However, when sending Bank Select messages, you

❍Hold 1 (Controller number 64)

have to send both the MSB (mm H) and LSB (ll H, the value should be 00H) together.

Status 2nd bytes 3rd byte

Bank Select processing will be suspended until a Program Change message is received.

Bn H 40H vv H

The GS format “Variation number” is the value of the Bank Select MSB (Controller number 0) expressed in decimal.

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

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

vv = Control value: 00H-7FH (0-127)

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