* This will be transmitted constantly at intervals of approximately 250 ms.
■System Exclusive Messages
“Identity Reply” and “Data Set 1 (DT1)” are the only System Exclusive messages
transmitted by VK-88.
When an appropriate “Identity Request Message” and “Data Request 1 (RQ1)” message are
received, the requested internal data will be transmitted.
