Phrase tracks or patterns can record the following nine types of
sequencer data. The recorded location (measure-beat-tick) is
displayed at the far left of each data item, and the MIDI channel
number is displayed beside it.
Note ( )
These MIDI messages represent notes. From the left, the parameters
are Note Number, which indicates the name of the note; On Velocity,
which specifies the force with which the key is pressed; Duration,
which specifies the duration of the note; and Off Velocity, which
determines the speed with which the key is released.

Program Change

This MIDI message switches sounds. The program number (PC#)
selects the sound.

Control Change

This MIDI message applies various effects such as modulation or
expression. The controller number (CC#) selects the function, and
Value specifies the depth of the effect.

Pitch Bend

This MIDI message changes the pitch. The value specifies the
amount of pitch change.
Poly Aftertouch
This MIDI messages applies aftertouch to an individual note. From
the left, the parameters are Note Number which specifies the key,
and Value which specifies the depth of the aftertouch.
Channel Aftertouch
This MIDI message applies aftertouch to an entire MIDI channel.
Value specifies the depth of the aftertouch.
Tune Request
