1. Receive Data
■ Channel Voice Messages
●Note off
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
8nH kkH vvH
9nH kkH 00H
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
kk = note number:
00H-7FH (0-127)
vv = note off velocity:
00H-7FH (0-127)
●Note on
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
9nH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
kk = note number:
00H-7FH (0-127)
vv = note on velocity:
01H-7FH (1-127)
* Not received when Rx. NOTE MESSAGE = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
●Polyphonic Key Pressure
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
AnH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
kk = note number:
00H-7FH (0-127)
vv = key pressure:
00H-7FH (0-127)
* Not received when Rx. POLY PRESSURE (PAf ) = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
* The resulting eff ect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial
settings, there will be no eff ect.
●Control Change
* When Rx. CONTROL CHANGE = OFF, all control change messages except for
Channel Mode messages will be ignored.
* The value specifi ed by a Control Change message will not be reset even by a
Program Change, etc.
❍ Bank Select (Controller Number 0, 32)
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
BnH 00H mmH
BnH 20H llH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
mm, ll = Bank number:
00H, 00H-7FH, 7FH (bank.1-bank.16384),
Initial Value = 00 00H (bank.1)
* Not received when Rx. BANK SELECT = OFF.
* “Rx. BANK SELECT” is set to OFF by “GM1 System On,” and Bank Select message will
be ignored.
* “Rx. BANK SELECT” is set to ON by “GM2 System On.”
* “Rx. BANK SELECT” is set to ON by power-on Reset or by receiving “GS RESET.”
* When Rx. BANK SELECT LSB = OFF, Bank number LSB (llH) will be handled as 00H
regardless of the received value. However, when sending Bank Select messages,
you have to send both the MSB (mmH) and LSB (llH, the value should be 00H)
together.
* Bank Select processing will be suspended until a Program Change message is
received.
* The GS format “Variation number” is the value of the Bank Select MSB (Controller
number 0) expressed in decimal.
* Some other GS devices do not recognize the Bank Select LSB (Controller number
32).
❍ Modulation (Controller Number 1)
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
BnH 01H vvH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = Modulation depth:
00H-7FH (0-127)
* Not received when Rx. MODULATION = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
* The resulting eff ect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial
settings, this is Pitch Modulation Depth.
❍ Portamento Time (Controller Number 5)
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
BnH 05H vvH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = Portamento Time:
00H-7FH (0-127), Initial value = 00H (0)
* This adjusts the rate of pitch change when Portamento is ON or when using the
Portamento Control. A value of 0 results in the fastest change.
❍ Data Entry (Controller Number 6, 38)
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
BnH 06H mmH
BnH 26H llH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
mm, ll = the value of the parameter specifi ed by RPN/NRPN
mm = MSB, ll = LSB
❍ Volume (Controller Number 7)
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
BnH 07H vvH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = Volume:
00H-7FH (0-127), Initial Value = 64H (100)
* Volume messages are used to adjust the volume balance of each Part.
* Not received when Rx. VOLUME = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
❍ Pan (Controller Number 10)
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
BnH 0AH vvH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = pan:
00H-40H-7FH (Left-Center-Right),
Initial Value = 40H (Center)
* Some Tones are not capable of being panned all the way to the left or right.
* Not received when Rx. PANPOT = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
❍ Expression (Controller Number 11)
Status
2nd byte
3rd byte
BnH 0BH vvH
n = MIDI channel number:
0H-FH (ch.1-ch.16)
vv = Expression:
00H-7FH (0-127), Initial Value = 7FH (127)
* This adjusts the volume of a Part. It can be used independently from Volume
messages. Expression messages are used for musical expression within a
performance; e.g., expression pedal movements, crescendo and decrescendo.
* Not received when Rx. EXPRESSION = OFF. (Initial value is ON)
