EXR-5/EXR-3 MIDI Implementation
8
• Parameters marked “relative change” will change relatively to the preset value(40H).
Even among different GS devices, “relative change” parameters may sometimes dif-
fer in the way the sound changes or in the range of change.
• Parameters marked “absolute change” will be set to the absolute value of the param-
eter, regardless of the preset value.
• Data entry LSB (llH) is ignored.
❍
RPN MSB/LSB (Controller number 101, 100)
**RPN**
The RPN (Registered Parameter Number) message allows an extended range of con-
trol changes to be used, letting you use additional control functions which are part of
the MIDI Specification.
On the EXR-5/EXR-3, RPN can be used to modify the following parameters.
● Program Change
• Not transmitted when “Program Change” Tx Filter is ste to “Off”.
• See also the table on page 3 for transmitted Style program changes. (They are not
transmitted, when “Style PC” is set to “Off”.)
● Pitch Bend Change
• Not transmitted when “Pitch Bender” Tx Filter is On.
■ Channel Mode Messages
● All Sounds Off (Controller number 120)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H~FH (Ch.1~16)
• When this message is transmitted, all currently sounding notes on the corresponding
channel will be turned off immediately.
● Reset All Controllers (Controller number 121)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H~FH (Ch.1~16)
• When this message is transmitted, the following controllers will be set to their reset
values.
● MONO (Controller number 126)
• The corresponding channel will be set to Mode 4 (M=1).
● POLY (Controller number 127)
n = MIDI channel number: 0H~FH (Ch.1~16)
• The corresponding channel will be set to Mode 3.
■ System Realtime Messages
❍
Active Sensing
Transmitted about every 250ms.
❍
Song/Style Start
• This message is transmitted when the internal sequencer is started.
❍
Song/Style Stop
• This message is transmitted when the internal sequencer is stopped.
❍
Song Continue
• This message is transmitted when the sequencer is started not from the beginning.
❍
Song Position Pointer
XX = Song Position (Bar) LSB
YY = Song Position (Bar) MSB

● System Exclusive messages related to mode settings
These messages are used to initialize a device to GS or General MIDI mode, or change
the operating mode. When creating performance data, a “GM1 System On” message
should be inserted at the beginning of a General MIDI 1 score, a “GM2 System On”
message at the beginning of a General MIDI 2 score, and a “GS Reset” message at
the beginning of a GS music data. Each song should contain only one mode message
as appropriate for the type of data. (Do not insert two or more mode setting messages
in a single song.)
“GM System On” uses the Universal Non-realtime Message format. “GS Reset” uses
Roland system Exclusive format “Data Set 1 (DT1).”
❍
GM1 System On
This is a command message that resets the internal settings of the unit to the General
MIDI 1 initial state. After receiving this message, the EXR-5/EXR-3 will automatically
be set to the proper condition for correctly playing a General MIDI score.
• When this message is received, Rx.BANK SELECT will be OFF and Rx.NRPN will
be OFF.
• There must be an interval of at least 50 ms between this message and the next mes-
sage.
