Portamento Time
(Control #5)
Messages that control the duration of portamento, or a continuous pitch
glide between successively played notes.
127: Maximum portamento time.
0: Minimum portamento time.
When the parameter Portamento Switch (Control #65) is set to On, the
value set here can adjust the speed of the pitch change.
Data Entry MSB
(Control #6) and
Data Entry LSB
(Control #38)
These parameters specify the value of RPN MSB and RPN LSB events.
The parameter value is determined by combining the MSB and LSB.
Main Volume (Control #7) Messages that control the volume of each part.
127: Maximum volume.
0: Volume off.
This provides detailed control over the level balance among the parts.
Pan (Control #10) Messages that control the stereo panning position of each part (for stereo
output).
127: Positions the sound to the far right.
0: Positions the sound to the far left.
Expression (Control #11) Messages that control intonation expression of each part during
performance.
This parameter produces volume variations during playback:
127: Maximum volume.
0: Volume off.
Hold1 (Control #64) Messages that control sustain on/off.
Notes playing when the pedal is pressed will be sustained.
64 - 127: Sustain on.
0 - 63: Sustain off.
When the pedal supports half-damper playing, the control of sustain is
continuous, and not a simple switch. In other words, higher values results
in longer sustain time and lower values result in shorter sustain.
Portamento (Control #65) Messages that control portamento On/Off.
64 - 127: Portamento On.
0 - 63: Portamento Off.
When Mono/Poly is set to Mono and this parameter is On, you can
effectively perform legato passages by playing successive notes smoothly
with no breaks between notes (in other words, holding down one key and
not releasing it until the next is played).
The length (degree) of the portamento effect is controlled by Portamento
Time (Control #5).
Sostenuto (Control #66) Messages that control sostenuto On/Off.
64 - 127: Sostenuto On.
0 - 63: Sostenuto Off.
Holding specific notes and then pressing and holding the sostenuto pedal
will sustain those notes as you play subsequent notes, until the pedal is
released.
