1.3Sound Source Common Sub-blocks

The Sound Source Common Sub-blocks include sound source settings that are not dependent on sound source parts; namely effectors, a mixer, and a drawbar organ waveform synthesizer.

Basically, common sub-block parameters can be controlled using System Exclusive messages, but a number of parameters can be controlled using Channel messages.

DSP Sub-blockThe effector DSP sub-block can be used to change DSP settings in accordance with the Channel messages associated with the channel number specified by the MIDI Global Channel (see "MIDI Channel Number" in section 10.7).

Drawbar Organ Waveform Synthesis Sub-blockThe drawbar organ waveform synthesis sub-block can be used to change settings in accordance with the Channel messages associated with one of the channel numbers when drawbar organ is selected.

1.4Sound Source Instrument Part Sub-block

The parts of the sound source can be operated and their settings can be changed with System Exclusive messages and Channel messages. The following table shows the fixed relationships between the part numbers and Channel numbers of Channel messages.
