    1 MIDI Message Format Overview 1.1 Configuration The MZ-2000 is made up of a Performance Block and a Sound Source Block as shown below. The Performance Block includes the keyboard, wheels, and other real-time controllers, as well as auto accompaniment, the sequencer, the control panel, etc.

  • Page 13: System Messages

    After the Active Sensing message is received, the MZ-2000 stands by for 400 msec waiting for another message to be sent. If nothing is received within 400 msec, the MZ-2000 performs the All Sound Off, All Note Off, and Reset All Controller procedures.
  • Page 14 The format consists of a header block and data block. The same header block is always used within the MZ-2000, but the format of the data block is determined by the data being communi- cated.
  • Page 15 A session consists of an IPC being sent in reply to an IPR request, or an IPC being sent and the session being terminated with without a request. When the MZ-2000 receives an IPR, it returns the corresponding parameter IPR. When the MZ-2000 receives an IPC, it changes the value of the corresponding parameter. Data Receiver Data Sender IPR ->...
  • Page 16 The session ends after the data sender transfers the required amount of data for the number of parameter sets. When the MZ-2000 receives a BDR, it uses a BDS to return the corresponding parameter set. When the MZ-2000 receives a BDS, it modifies the setting of the applicable parameter set.
  • Page 17 MIDI Setup message can be used as described below to avoid this problem. * When the song data starts, the Save MIDI Setup message can be sent to the MZ-2000 to save the Device ID and Global Channel and initialize these parameters to the default values shown below.

  • Page 31 Probably the easiest and most practical way to determine whether a particular combi- nation can be used is to try it out on the MZ-2000 and see what happens. If a shortage of resources occurs after receipt of an effect assignment instruction, you can determine whether an effect has not been loaded by re-setting the DSP line effect to Thru on the MZ-2000.
  • Page 32 4.8.5 Effect Parameter Control Message Common Format This section describes only the data block that indicates the common system exclusive message format for the MZ-2000 sound source. When performing an operation or reference of an effect parameter, create and send a message like the one below that specifies the appropriate parameter set postion, type ID and parameter ID.

Though the compressor and limiter use the same algorithm, the items in the effect Preset List named Limiter are optimized for the limiter by setting the actual level for the threshold value at a high level.
  • Page 35 MZ-2000 MIDI Implementation Operation This effector controls tone quality. Settings can be made for three individual bands, and the mid- range parametric equalizer provides great latitude for sound creation. 1. Bypass Effector function enable/disable.
