28 MU128 MIDI
MIDI data format
1. Channel messages
1.1 Note on/note off
These messages convey keyboard performance data.
Range of note numbers received = 0 (C-2)...60 (C3)...127 (G8)
Velocity range = 1...127 (Velocity is received only
for note-on)
When the Multi Part parameter "Rcv NOTE MESSAGE" = OFF, that
part will not receive these messages.
For a drum part*, key-off is not received if the DrumSetup parameter
Rcv NOTE OFF = OFF.
For a drum part, key-on is not received if the DrumSetup parameter
Rcv NOTE ON = OFF.
* Drum Part indicates that the Multi Part parameter PART
MODE is "set to DRUM or DRUMS1...4."
1.2 Control changes
These messages control volume or pan etc.
Their functions are differentiated by the control number (Ctrl#).
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv CONTROL CHANGE = OFF, that
part will not receive control changes.
1.2.1 Bank Select
This message selects the voice bank.
Control# Parameter Data Range
0 Bank Select MSB 0...127
32 Bank Select LSB 0...127
The Bank Select data will be processed only after a Program
Change is received, and then voice bank will change at that
time.
If you wish to change the voice bank as well as the voice,
you must transmit Bank Select and Program Change
messages as a set, in the order of Bank Select MSB, LSB,
and Program Change.
1.2.2 Modulation
This message is used primarily to control the depth of vibrato,
but the depth of the following 7 types of effect can be
controlled.
The effect of this message can be changed by the following
parameters.
• Multi Part Parameter
1. MW PITCH CONTROL
2. MW FILTER CONTROL
3. MW AMPLITUDE CONTROL
4. MW LFO PMOD DEPTH
5. MW LFO FMOD DEPTH
6. MW LFO AMOD DEPTH
• Effect1 Parameter
7. MW VARIATION CONTROL DEPTH
(Valid when Variation Effect is assigned to a part as
Insertion)
• Effect2 Parameter
8. MW INSERTION CONTROL DEPTH
By default, an LFO Pitch Modulation (PMOD) effect will
apply.
Control# Parameter Data Range
1 Modulation 0...127
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv MODULATION = OFF,
that part will not receive Modulation.
If the receive channel is a drum part, effects 5 and 6 will not
apply.
1.2.3 Portamento Time
This message controls the degree of Portamento (refer to
1.2.9).
Control# Parameter Data Range
5 Portamento Time 0...127
When Portamento (control number 065) is ON, this regulates
the speed of the pitch change.
A value of 0 is the shortest portamento time, and 127 is the
longest portamento time.
If the receive channel is a drum part, Portamento Time is
not received.
1.2.4 Data Entry
This message sets the value of the parameter which was
specified by RPN MSB/LSB (see 1.2.22) and NRPN MSB/
LSB (see 1.2.21).
Control# Parameter Data Range
6 Data Entry MSB 0...127
38 Data Entry LSB 0...127
1.2.5 Main Volume
This message controls the volume of each part.
This is used to adjust the volume balance between parts.
Control# Parameter Data Range
7 Main Volume 0...127
When the Multi Part parameter Rcv VOLUME = OFF, that
part will not receive Main Volume.
With a value of 0 there will be no sound, and a value of 127
will be the maximum volume.
1.2.6 Panpot
This message control the panning (stereo location) of each
part.
Control# Parameter Data Range
10 Pan 0...64...127
When the Multi Part parameter Rcv PAN = OFF, that part
will not receive Panpot.
0 is left, 64 is center, and 127 is right.
