Universal system exclusive
System exclusive messages include a special category of messages
whose purpose is officially defined. These are called universal system
exclusive messages. Of these universal system exclusive messages, the
microKORG XL supports Master Volume and Master Fine Tuning.
Master volume [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 01, vv, mm, F7]
(vv: lower byte of value, mm: upper byte of value, [mm, vv=7F, 7F] is Max,
[mm, vv=00, 00] is 0)
When a Master Volume message is received, the microKORG XL will
adjust its overall volume.
Master fine tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]
(A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center (0 cent, A4=440.0Hz), 4096
[mm, vv=20, 00] is -50 cents, and 12288 [mm, vv=60, 00] is +50 cents.)
When master fine tuning is received, the value specified for the
microKORG XL’s GLOBAL page “MST TUNE” will be ignored, and the
overall pitch will be specified by the data that was received.
Realtime Messages
Starting/stopping the arpeggiator
When the microKORG XL’s arpeggiator is synchronized to a connected
external MIDI device, system realtime messages Start and Stop will control
the arpeggiator.
Start [FA]
When the Start [FA] message is received, the arpeggio pattern will be reset
to its beginning.
Stop [FC]
When a Stop [FC] message is received, the arpeggiator will stop. (It will not
be turned off; the arpeggiator will start again when additional notes are
played.)
