The
size
of the
requested data does not
indicate the
number
of bytes
that
will
make
up
a
DT!
message,
but represents the
address
fields
where
the
requested data
resides.
*
Some
models
are subject
to
limitations
in
data format used
for
a
single transaction.
Requested
data, for
example,
may
have
a
limit
in
length or
must
be
divided
into
predetermined address
fields
Ijefore
it
is
exchanged
across
the interface.
*
The same number
of bytes
comprises address
and
size
data,
which,
however, vary with
the Model-iD.
*
The
error
checking
process uses a
checksum
that
provides a
bit
pattern
where
the
least
significant
7
hits
are zero
when
values
for
an
address,
size,
and
that
checksum
are
summed.

This
message
corresponds
to
the actual data transfer process.
Because every
byte
in
the data
is
assigned
a
unique
address,
a
DTi
message
can convey
the starting
address
of
one
or
more
data
as well
as a
series of
data formatted
in
an
address-
dependent
order.
The
MIDi
standards
inhibit
non-real time
messages from
interrupting
an
exclusive one. This
fact
is
inconvenient
for
the devices
that
support
a
"soft-through"
mechanism.
To
maintain
compatibility
with such
devices,
Roland has
limited the
DTI
to
256
bytes so
that
an
excessively
long
message
is
sent out
in
separate segments.
