■Note messages

The C-190 transmits and receives note messages that translate which keys you pressed on the keyboard.

■Program change, bank select messages

In ORCHESTRA mode, pressing a tab to select the desired sound will cause the C-190 to send two bank numbers (Bank Select MSB & LSB) as well as a pro- gram change number. When receiving such a cluster, the C-190 selects the corresponding sound.

The following numbers are recognized.

		CC00 (MSB)	CC32 (LSB)	PC
PEDAL	AC BASS	08	04	12
	STRINGED	08	04	13
	CELLO	08	04	05
MANUAL I	PIANO	08	04	01
	E. PIANO	08	04	02
	GUITAR	08	04	03
	STRINGS	08	04	09
	CHOIR	08	04	06
MANUAL II	HARPSI	08	04	11
	BRASS	08	04	10
	VIOLIN	08	04	04
	OBOE	08	04	14
	FLUTE	08	04	07
	CHIMES	08	04	08

■Control changes

In ORCHESTRA mode, the C-190 transmits and receives CC64 messages that describe when an optional sustain footswitch (connected to the EXP/ SUS socket) is pressed and released. Furthermore, the C-190 sends and receives CC11 messages that describe the movements of an optional expression pedal.

Other control changes that the C-190 transmits are CC91 to communicate the reverb depth setting (see p. 16).

Note: See also the MIDI implementation chart at the end of this manual.

■SysEx messages

The C-190 also transmits SysEx messages that have a rather complex structure and are thus only meaning- ful to seasoned MIDI enthusiasts. If you work with the internal recorder or an external sequencer, it may, however, be possible to record them without even knowing what they look like. See your sequencer’s manual for details.

If the external sequencer accepts SysEx messages, you can even record the settings of the PEDAL, MAN- UAL I and MANUAL II tabs, and transmit those data back to the C-190 for real-time automation.

SysEx messages are sent and received when the tilt tabs are operated while the [ORCHESTRA] button is dark.
