MZ-2000 MIDI Implementation

3.3.2 MZ-2000 Sound Source System Exclusive Overview

System exclusive messages received by the MZ-2000 sound source start with the following data.

Format

F0H 44H 7EH 02H 00H .... 7FH

Though the purpose of system exclusive messages is mainly to assign parameters, the MZ-2000 also sends system exclusive messages whenever an operation that changes the setting of a parameter is performed.

A system exclusive message also includes a Device ID value, which corresponds to the channel number of a channel message. A Device ID is used when a system exclusive message is sent.

You can change the Device ID value on the MZ-2000.

See "4 MZ-2000 Sound Source System Exclusive Messages" for full details on MZ-2000 sound source system exclusive messages.

4.1 MZ-2000 Sound Source Common System Exclusive Format

4.1.1 General

The MZ-2000 sound source consists of audio signal processor sections for the tone generator, effects, mixer, etc.

The MZ-2000 sound source sends and receives sound source-related system information, param- eters, and parameter sets, using the format described later in this chapter.

The format consists of a header block and data block. The same header block is always used within the MZ-2000, but the format of the data block is determined by the data being communi- cated.

The data content, in turn, depends on the MS-2000 function. The following sections of this chapter provide detailed information about the data content for each function.

Even with system exclusive messages, channel numbers can be specified within the

 

 

range of 00H to 1FH for use as a Device ID number.

 

 

Messages are ignored if their ID Device ID number does not match that of the MZ-

 

 

2000.

A Universal Device ID of 7FH is provided, which means that the MZ-2000 always recognizes any SysExc message with a Device ID of 7FH.

4.1.2 MZ-2000 Sound Source Common System Exclusive Data Blocks

The MZ-2000 sound source system exclusive data block always starts with the message type, which indicates the type of communication is being performed. Messages can be broadly classified into the types listed below.

*Individual Parameter Send/Receive

*Individual Parameter Send Request Send/Receive

*One-Way Parameter Set Bulk Send/Receive

*One-Way Parameter Set Bulk Send Request Send/Receive

*Handshake Parameter Set Bulk Send/Receive

*Handshake Parameter Set Bulk Send Request/Receive Rejection/ Error Report Send/Receive

With one-way communication, the sender sends the data and immediately ends the session without any response from the receiver. This type of communication is best for one-way data transfer from a sequencer, etc.

With handshake protocol, the sender sends the data but does not advance to the next session until it receives a response from the receiver. This type of communication helps to reduce time wasted waiting for the receiver to become ready.

4.1.3 Parameter Configuration

A parameter is a variable for making sound source operational settings, while a parameter set is a group of multiple parameters.

When using the MZ-2000 sound source system exclusive messages to access parameters and parameter sets, you must specify the location of data you are trying to access. The following shows the location of each type of data.

*Category (4 bits) ....Parameter set category

*Type ID (7 bits - 7 bits).....ID number inside parameter set category

*Mdev ID (7 bits - 7 bits) ..... ID number of memory where parameter set is stored

*Section Number (14 bits) ..... Section number indicating where a parameter set is stored in memory

*PS (Parameter Set) Number (14 bits)....Number indicating where inside a section a parameter set is stored

*Parameter ID (For parameter specification only)(16 bits) ....ID number of a parameter inside a parameter set

*Parameter Block Number (For parameter specification only) (7 bits* 1 to 16)

....Block number to which a parameter is attached inside a parameter set

In a structure where parameters with the same parameter ID are assigned to multiple blocks within the same parameter set, the block numbers must be specified specified using at least one as as many as 16 array data items.

The parameter blocks of the sound source parts and key numbers are a typical example of this. When there are parameters with the same ID for the key numbers in each part, a single param- eter can be specified to substitute the part number and key number for at least one of the Block Number arrays.

Exactly how many of these values there are is covered within the explanations for each parameter.

There are two parameter formats, depending on the parameter ID: single data and array data. Array data is sent by specifying the starting element and the number of elements to be sent.
