Status	2nd byte	3rd byte
BnH	0BH	vvH
n = MIDI channel number:		0H~FH (Ch.1~16)
vv = Expression:		00H~7FH (0~127)

•This adjusts the volume of a Part. Expression messages are used for musical ex- pression within a performance, e.g., expression pedal movements, crescendo and decrescendo.

❍Hold 1 (Controller number 64)

Status	2nd byte	3rd byte
BnH	40H	vvH
n = MIDI channel number:		0H~FH (Ch.1~16)
vv = Control value:		00H~7FH (0~127)
		00H~63H= Off/64H~7FH= On

❍Effect 1 (Reverb Send Level) (Controller number 91)

Status	2nd byte	3rd byte
BnH	5BH	vvH
n = MIDI channel number:		0H~FH (Ch.1~16)
vv = Reverb Send Level:		00H~7FH (0~127), Initial value = 28H (40)

•This message adjusts the Reverb Send Level of each Part.

❍Effect 3 (Chorus Send Level) (Controller number 93)

Status	Data byte	Status
aaH	Address MSB: upper byte of the starting address of
	the data to be sent
bbH	Address: upper middle byte of the starting address of
	the data to be sent
ccH	Address: lower middle byte of the starting address of
	the data to be sent
ddH	Address LSB: lower byte of the starting address of
	the data to be sent
eeH	Data: the actual data to be sent. Multiple bytes of data
	are transmitted in order starting from the address.
::	::
ffH	Data
sum	Checksum
F7H	EOX (End of Exclusive)

•The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and data will be transmitted from the specified starting address and size.

•Data larger than 256 bytes will be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and each packet will be sent at an interval of about 20ms.

3. Bulk Dump

Bulk Dump allows you to transmit a large amount of data at once, and is conve- nient for storing settings for the entire unit on a computer or sequencer.

The FR-7/FR-5 is able to transmit and receive a SET.
