Portamento Time (Control #5)
Messages which control the duration of portamento, or a
continuous pitch glide between successively played notes.
When the parameter Portamento Switch (Control #065) is set to
on, the value set here can adjust the speed of pitch change.
Setting the value to 127 produces maximum portamento time
and 0 results in minimum portamento time.
Data Entry MSB (Control #6)
Data Entry LSB (Control #38)
Messages which set the value for the parameter specified by
RPN MSB/LSB. Parameter value is determined by combining the
MSB and LSB.
Main Volume (Control #7)
Messages which control the volume of each Part. Setting the
value to 127 produces maximum volume and 0 results in volume
off.
Pan (Control #10)
Messages which control the stereo panning position of each
Part (for stereo output). Setting the value to 127 positions the
sound to the far right and 0 positions the sound to the far left.
Expression (Control #11)
Messages which control intonation expression of each Part
during performance. Setting the value to 127 produces
maximum volume and 0 results in volume off.
Hold1 (Control #64)
Messages which control sustain on/off. Setting the value
between 64 – 127 turns the sustain on, between 0 – 63 turns the
sustain off.
Portamento Switch (Control #65)
Messages which control portamento on/off. Setting the value
between 64 -127 turns the portamento on, between 0 – 63 turns
the portamento off.
Sostenuto (Control #66)
Messages which control sostenuto on/off. Holding specific notes
and then pressing and holding the sostenuto pedal will sustain
those notes as you play subsequent notes, until the pedal is
released. Setting the value between 64 -127 turns the sostenuto
on, between 0 – 63 turns the sostenuto off.
Harmonic Content (Control #71)
Messages which adjust the filter resonance set for each Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added to or
subtracted from the Voice data. Higher values will result in a
more characteristic, resonant sound. Depending on the Voice,
the effective range may be narrower than the range available for
adjustment.
Release Time (Control #72)
Messages which adjust the AEG release time set for each Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added to or
subtracted from the Voice data.
Attack Time (Control #73)
Messages which adjust the AEG attack time set for each Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added to or
subtracted from the Voice data.
Brightness (Control #74)
Messages which adjust the filter cutoff frequency set for each
Part. The value set here is an offset value which will be added to
or subtracted from the Voice data. Lower values result in a softer
sound. Depending on the Voice, the effective range may be
narrower than the range available for adjustment.
Decay Time (Control #75)
Messages which adjust the AEG decay time set for each Part.
The value set here is an offset value which will be added to or
subtracted from the Voice data.
Effect1 Depth (Reverb Send Level) (Control #91)
Messages which adjust the send level for the Reverb effect.
Effect3 Depth (Chorus Send Level) (Control #93)
Messages which adjust the send level for the Chorus effect.
Data Increment (Control #96)
Data Decrement (Control #97)
Messages which increase or decrease the MSB value of pitch
bend sensitivity, fine tune, or coarse tune in steps of 1. You will
need to assign one of those parameters using the RPN in the
external device in advance. The data byte is ignored. When the
maximum value or minimum value is reached, the value will not
be incremented or decremented further. (Incrementing the fine
tune will not cause the coarse tune to be incremented.)
RPN (Registered Parameter Number) LSB (Control #100)
RPN (Registered Parameter Number) MSB (Control #101)
Messages which offset, or add or subtract values from a Part's
pitch bend sensitivity, tuning, or other parameter settings. First
send the RPN MSB and RPN LSB to specify the parameter
which is to be controlled. Then use Data Increment/Decrement
(page 94) to set the value of the specified parameter. Note that
once the RPN has been set for a channel, subsequent data
entry will be recognized as the same RPN’s value change.
Therefore after you use the RPN, you should set a Null (7FH,
7FH) value to avoid unexpected results. The following RPN
numbers can be received.
Channel Mode Messages
The following Channel Mode Messages can be received.
All Sounds Off (Control #120)
Clears all sounds currently sounding on the specified channel.
However, the status of channel messages such as Note On and
Hold On is maintained.
