Active sensing

This message checks if the MIDI cable is disconnected.

Once GZ-500 has received this message, it always counts time of an interval to a next MIDI message.

In case when GZ-5 receives no MIDI message for 420 msec of time, it will stop sound output and reset all controllers, then it will cancel the function of active sensing.
