Nrpn/Rpn

Your main preset should then be set to “NO CONTROLLER” instead of “VOLUME 7”, so that only the arpeggiator will be affected by the wheel and the volume setting of the main sound will remain constant.

NRPN/RPN (NONE, NRPN, RPN)

Many manufacturers of synths allow you to set sound characteristics of their presets using so called NRPN’s (nonregistered parameter numbers) or RPN’s (registered parameter numbers). According to MIDI specifications RPN’s have standardized functions and NRPN’s do not. The functions of NRPN’s are dependent upon the manufacturer and are found in the individual user’s manuals. The process for using RPN’s and NRPN’s is identical as follows:

NRPN-LSB and MSB or RPN-LSB and MSB set system parameters using Controller #6 (DATA ENTRY MSB) or Controller #38 (DATA ENTRY LSB) to access them. Here is how you access these settings in your ZETA SYNTHONY II:

You have extracted from the user’s manual of your synth/sound module that the manufacturer uses NRPN: MSB=01h and LSB=21h for a filter function for example. Use the +/- Value buttons to select the setting “NRPN/RPN:…NRPN” and press the ENTER button. The first line of your display shows you whether you are editing NRPN’s or RPN’s. The second line shows you the present value for MSB and LSB. The cursor is in the MSB field at first. Use the +/- Value buttons to set this value to 01h. With the +/- Parameter buttons move the cursor to the filed LSB and set the value here to 21h. You have now set the NRPN so that Controller #6 (or #38) can be used as a filter controller. As a source for controller #6/#38, you have the option of using any of the three wheel options. Press the EXIT button to leave the sub menu.

Note: If you are not an experienced user, it is advised that you steer clear of using the RPN controllers because pitchbend and even tuning information can be changed.

Another note for “Insiders”: Normally after using a DATA ENTRY controller for NRPN or RPN Data, these values are reset to “NULL” (7fh), so that the DATA ENTRY controller has no more influence.

Your ZETA SYNTHONY II does NOT do this, because this would drastically increase the amount of MIDI data processed and sent. However, when you

change a Preset, or when you edit an NRPN/RPN, these controllers ARE set to NULL.
