MIDI Data Format

1. Channel messages

1.1 Note on/note off

These messages convey keyboard performance data.

Range of note numbers transmitted and received = C-2...G8

Velocity range = 1...127 (Velocity is received only for note-on)

1.2 Control changes

These messages convey control operation information for volume or pan etc.

Their functions are differentiated by the control number (Ctrl#).

1.2.1 Bank Select

This message selects the voice bank.

Control# Parameter Data Range

0 Bank Select MSB 0...127

32 Bank Select LSB 0...127

The Bank Select data will be processed only after a Program Change is received, and then voice bank

will change at that time. If you wish to change the voice bank as well as the voice, you must transmit

Bank Select and Program Change messages as a set, in the following order: Bank Select MSB, LSB,

and Program Change.

1.2.2 Modulation

This message controls the depth of modulation.

Control# Parameter Data Range

1 Modulation 0...127

1.2.3 Portamento Time

This message controls the degree of Portamento (see 1.2.9).

Control# Parameter Data Range

5 Portamento Time 0...127

A value of 0 is no effect, and 127 is the longest Portamento time. No effect in Rhythm tracks.

1.2.4 Data Entry

This message sets the value of the parameter which was speciﬁed by RPN (see 1.2.17) and NRPN

(see 1.2.16) (Rhythm Track only).

Control# Parameter Data Range

6 Data Entry MSB 0...127

38 Data Entry LSB 0...127

1.2.5 Main Volume

This message controls the volume of each part. (It is used to adjust the volume balance between

parts.)

Control# Parameter Data Range

7 Main Volume 0...127

With a value of 0 there will be no sound, and a value of 127 will produce the maximum volume.

1.2.6 Panpot

This message controls the panning (stereo location) of each part.

Control# Parameter Data Range

10 Pan 0...64...127

0 is left, 64 is center, and 127 is right.

1.2.7 Expression

This message controls expression for each part. (It is used to create volume changes during a song.)

Control# Parameter Data Range

1l Expression 0...127

1.2.8 Holdl

This message controls sustain pedal on/off.

Control# Parameter Data Range

64 Hold1 0...63, 64...127

(OFF, ON)

When this is ON, currently-sounding notes will continue to sound even if note-off messages are

received.

1.2.9 Portamento

This message controls Portamento pedal on/off.

Control# Parameter Data Range

65 Portamento 0...63, 64...127

(OFF, ON)

When ON, Portamento produces a smooth glide connecting two notes of different pitch. The time

over which the pitch changes is adjusted by Portamento Time (see 1.2.3). No effect in Rhythm tracks.

1.2.10 Sostenuto

This message controls sostenuto pedal on/off.

Control# Parameter Data Range

66 Sostenuto 0...63,64...127

(OFF , ON)

If sostenuto is turned on while a note is sounding, that note will be sustained until sostenuto is turned

OFF.

No effect in Rhythm tracks.

1.2.11 Release Time

This message adjusts the EG release time that was speciﬁed by the sound data.

Control# Parameter Data Range

72 Release Time 0...127 Synth Track only

0...64...127 Rhythm Track only

(-64...0...+63)

Since this is a relative change parameter in Rhythm track, it speciﬁes an increase or decrease relative

to 64. Increasing this value will lengthen the release time that follows a note-off.

1.2.12 Attack Time

This message adjusts the EG attack time that was speciﬁed by the sound data.

Control# Parameter Data Range

73 Attack Time 0...127 Synth Track only

0...64...127 Rhythm Track only

(-64...0...+63)

Since this is a relative change parameter in Rhythm track, it speciﬁes an increase or decrease relative

to 64. Increasing this value will make the attack more gradual, and decreasing this value will make

the attack sharper.

1.2.13 Brightness

This message adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass ﬁlter speciﬁed by the sound data.

Control# Parameter Data Range

74 Brightness 0...127 Synth Track only

0...64...127 Rhythm Track only

(-64...0...+63)

Since this is a relative change parameter in Rhythm track, it speciﬁes an increase or decrease relative

to 64. Lower values will produce a more mellow sound.

For some sounds, the effective range may be less than the possible range of settings.

1.2.14 Decay Time

This message adjusts the EG decay time that was speciﬁed by sound data.

Control# Parameter Data Range

75 Decay Time 0...127 Synth Track only

It determines how long it takes for the sound changes from maximum level to sustain level.

1.2.15 Effect4 Depth

This message adjusts the Send level to Effect.

Control# Parameter Data Range

94 Effect4 Depth 0...127

Increasing this value will more effective.

1.2.16 NRPN (Non-registered parameter number)

Use NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB to specify the parameter that you wish to modify, and then use Data

Entry (see 1.2.4) to set the value for the speciﬁed parameter. (Rhythm Track only).

*1 See 1.2.4

1.2.17 RPN (Registered parameter number)

Use RPN MSB and RPN LSB to specify the parameter that you wish to modify.

*1 See 1.2.4

1.2.18 Others

If the Control Change IN/OUT = ALL, all following Control Change Number are transmitted and

received.

If the Control Change IN/OUT = NORM, the following Control Change Number in are trans-

mitted and received.
