System Realtime Messages; System Exclusive Messages - Roland V-Synth Owner's Manual

MIDI Implementation
Program Change
Status 2nd byte
CnH ppH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
pp = Program number: 00H - 7FH (prog.1 - prog.128)
* These messages are transmitted when Patch is selected. But not transmitted when
Transmit Program Change parameter (SYSTEM Com MIDI/USB) is OFF.
Channel Pressure
Status 2nd byte
DnH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
vv = Channel Pressure: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
Pitch Bend Change
Status 2nd byte
EnH llH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
mm, ll = Pitch Bend value: 00 00H - 40 00H - 7F 7FH (-8192 - 0 - +8191)

Active Sensing
Status
FEH
* This message is transmitted at intervals of approximately 250 msec.
* This message is not sent when Transmit Active Sensing parameter (SYSTEM Ctrl Tx) is
OFF.

aaH Address MSB: upper byte of the starting address of the data to be
sent
bbH Address: upper middle byte of the starting address of the data
to be sent
ccH Address: lower middle byte of the starting address of the data
to be sent
ddH Address LSB: lower byte of the starting address of the data to be
sent.

* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and
data will be transmitted from the specified starting address and size. Refer to the address
and size given in "Parameter Address Map" (p. 159).
* Data larger than 256 bytes will be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and each
packet will be sent at an interval of about 20 ms.
