RPN/NRPN, GM 1+2 SysEx & Other Messages

As already described, the standard MIDI controller numbers range from 0 to 131. We have extended the list of MIDI cc’s that can be assigned to the controllers of the keyboard to include RPN/NRPN, MMC and General MIDI 1&2 SysEx messages.

These advanced messages are as easy to program as a regular MIDI cc instruction by entering values 132 to 152 when programming MIDI cc’s. The charts on page 8 and 9 (or Appendix B) show you what number correspond to each message

To program the values required for these advanced messages, the MK-425C/449C/461C requires you to press the PROGRAM, DATA LSB and DATA MSB buttons twice respectively. Pressing only once will send the program and bank change instructions “on the fly” as described in the Getting Started guide.

Lets look at a couple of examples to see how this works. Please refer to the charts on pages 4 & 5 so you get to grips with the principle:

Assigning MMC Control To A Button

1.Select the button you want to control the MMC message.

2.Press “CONTROL ASSIGN” on the MK-425C/449C/461C.

3.Type in “149” using the numerical keypad.

This is the number that correspond to the MMC instruction, as per the chart on page 4 and 5.

4.Press “CHANNEL” once.

5.Type in “127”, using the numerical keypad.

This ensures that the message is set to all device ID numbers. For more information about this, please read “About SysEx Messages & Device ID” on page 9.

4.Press the “DATA LSB” button twice.

5.Enter a number from the chart on the next page to select the MMC message you want:
