Exclusive
Messages
Exclusive
messages
deal
with things
unique
to a specific
machine.
Exclusive
messages can
only be
exchanged between two
identical
devices
{eg.,
two R-
8MK
li
s).
For
a detailed explanation, see
MIDI Implementation
(c7-P.197).
MIDI Implementation Chart
MIDi
allows
many
different
musical instruments
and
devices
to
exchange
data.
It
is
not
necessarily the case,
however,
that
ail
MIDI
messages
can be
received
by
all
MIDI
devices.
For example,
you
may
try
to
use
a
keyboard
to provide control
over Aftertouch,
but
if
the
sound module you
have connected
doesn't
respond
to Aftertouch,
no
effect
will
be
obtained.
The
only
way two
devices
can
exchange
a
given
MIDi
message
is
if
the
particular function..
is
gommon
to both
units.
To
help
you
quickly
determine
how
compatible
two
devices
are,
a
MIDi implementation
chart
is
provided
in
the owner's
manual
of
each
device.
By comparing
the
charts,
you
can
see
how
the
MIDI
messages
of
one
device
will
be
received
by the
other.
The
charts
are
standardized
so comparison
is
a
simple
matter.
