MIDI Implementation Notation

42.19Hexadecimal Notation

MIDI implementation sometimes requires that data be expressed in hexadecimal format. Hexadecimal values are indicated by the letter "H" after the value. The hexadecimal equivalents of decimal values 10 through 15 are expressed as the letters A through F. The following table shows the hexadecimal equivalents for the most commonly used values (0 to 127).
