Part XII

MIDI

The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.

NOTE data

 

PROGRAM CHANGE

 

 

This is the most basic kind of MIDI data which is exchanged, and is used to specify which keys are played and how hard they are played.

NOTE NUMBER: Number specifying which key is played.

NOTE ON: Specifies that a key is played.

NOTE OFF: Specifies that a key is released.

VELOCITY: Specifies how hard a key is struck.

•MIDI notes are assigned numbers from 0 to 127, with middle C (C3) as 60. Note pitches are in semitone increments, with the higher numbers assigned to the higher pitches.

This is sound change data. When a different sound is selected on the transmitting instrument, the sound on the receiving instrument also changes.

CONTROL CHANGE

These are volume, sustain, effect, etc. data used to enhance performance expression. Each function is distinguished by its control number, and the function which can be changed by the control differs depending on the instrument.

EXCLUSIVE data

This is data that is specific to this instrument, and data for the GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2 mode setting.
