MIDI Implementation

<<< RPN >>>

Control Changes include RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers), which are extended.

When using RPNs, first RPN (Controller numbers 100 and 101; they can be sent in any order) should be sent in order to select the parameter, then Data Entry (Controller numbers 6 and 38) should be sent to set the value.

This device receives the following RPNs.
