Control Changes include RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers), which are extended. When using RPNs, first RPN (Controller numbers 100 and 101; they can be sent in any order) should be sent in order to select the parameter, then Data Entry (Controller numbers 6 and 38) should be sent to set the value. Once RPN messages are received, Data Entry messages that is received at the same MIDI channel after that are recognized as changing toward the value of the RPN messages. In order not to make any mistakes, transmitting RPN Null is recommended after setting parameters you need.

This device receives the following RPNs.

VR-760 specifications

The Roland VR-760 is a versatile stage keyboard designed to cater to the requirements of both live performers and studio musicians. With a blend of organ sounds, electric pianos, and synthesizer textures, the VR-760 stands out for its exceptional sound quality and user-friendly interface.

One of the standout features of the VR-760 is its extensive collection of sounds optimized for live performance.
