Individual Parameters Individual Parameter Transmission transmits data (or requests data) for one parameter as one exclusive message (one packet of "F0 . . . . . In Individual Parameter Transmission, you must use the Address and Size listed in the following "Parameter Address Map. " Addresses marked at "#" cannot be used as starting addresses.

This instrument can simultaneously (in different Parts) use up to two Drum Maps (MAP1, MAP2). With the initial settings, Part10 (MIDI CH = 10, x = 0) is set to MAP1 (1), and other Parts are set to normal instrumental Parts (OFF (0)). 00 00 01 00 00 02 28-58 08-F8 PITCH KEY SHIFT PITCH OFFSET FINE -24 - +24 [semitones] -12. 0 - +12. 0 [Hz] Use nibblized data. 40 08 00 0 [semitones] 0 [Hz] 40 1x 16 40 1x 17 40 1x 18# * PITCH OFFSET FINE allows you to alter, by a specified frequency amount, the pitch at which notes will sound. This parameter differs from the conventional Fine Tuning (RPN #1) parameter in that the amount of frequency alteration (in Hertz) will be identical no matter which note is played. When a multiple number of Parts, each of which has been given a different setting for PITCH OFFSET FINE, are sounded by means of an identical note number, you can obtain a Celeste effect. 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00-7F 00-7F 00-7F 00-7F PART LEVEL (= CC# 7) VELOCITY SENSE DEPTH VELOCITY SENSE OFFSET PART PANPOT 0-127 0-127 0-127 -64 (RANDOM), -63 (LEFT) , - +63 (RIGHT) (C-1)-(G9) (C-1)-(G9) 0-95 0-95 0-127 0-127 64 40 40 40 100 64 64 0 (CENTER) 40 1x 19 40 1x 1A 40 1x 1B 40 1x 1C 40 1x 1D 40 1x 1E 40 1x 1F 40 1x 20 40 1x 21 40 1x 22 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00-7F 00-7F 00-5F 00-5F 00-7F 00-7F (= CC# 10, except RANDOM) KEY RANGE LOW KEY RANGE HIGH CC1 CONTROLLER NUMBER CC2 CONTROLLER NUMBER CHORUS SEND LEVEL (= CC# 93) REVERB SEND LEVEL (= CC# 91) Rx. [. . . ] On this instrument, the default settings for the Scale Tune feature produce equal temperament. Just Temperament (Keytone C) The three main chords resound much more beautifully than with equal temperament, but this benefit can only be obtained in one key. The example given involves settings for a key in which C is the keynote. <Example> Setting REVERB MACRO to ROOM 3 According to the "Parameter Address Map, " the REVERB MACRO Address is 40 01 30H, and ROOM 3 is a value of 02H. Checksum F7 (6) Arabian Scale By altering the setting for Scale Tune, you can obtain a variety of other tunings suited for ethnic music. For example, the settings introduced below will set the unit to use the Arabian Scale. [. . . ]
