n : MIDI channel
kk : note number
vv : velocity
Velocity values are ignored.
For the Harmony channel, processing will be follows.
1) For Vocoder harmony, these messages will specify the pitch to be sounded.
2) For Chordal harmony, these messages are used to direct chords.
For Melody channel, these messages are received for the following purposes.
1) For Vocoder harmony, these messages are received as the basic pitch to control the gender of the harmony sound.
2) For Vocoder harmony, if Vocoder Mode is "Auto Transpose," the basic pitch is received.
For both 1) and 2), if the Melody channel is off, the input audio will be the basic pitch.
3) When Lead Gender and Lead Pitch Correction are on the input pitch is shifted to the note-on pitch of the received note.
If the Melody channel is off, the pitch will be shifted to the nearest chromatic pitch.

1.2.1 Data Entry
This message sets the value of the parameter that was specified by RPN (refer to 1.2.4) or NRPN (refer to 1.2.3).
Control#
6
1.2.2 Hold1
This message controls sustain pedal on/off.
Control#
64
When ON, currently-sounding notes will be sustained even after note-off is received.
1.2.3 NRPN (Non-registered parameter number)
This message is used to set sound parameters such as vibrato or detune, etc.
The NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB specify the parameter which is to be controlled, and subsequently Data Entry (refer to 1.2.1) is used to set the value of
the specified parameter. Only the MSB of Data Entry is recognized.
