upper and lower bytes of the value, together
expressing 16,384 levels) to specify the value.
3. You can use data increment (CC#96) [Bn, 60, 00] or
data decrement (CC#97) [Bn, 61, 00] (n: channel,
value is fixed at 00) to change the value in steps of one.
The KRONOS can receive the following three RPN
messages, described in detail below: tuning, transpose, and
pitch bend range.
Tuning
RPN fine tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]
This RPN message adjusts the detuning for Programs,
Combination Timbres, and Sequencer Tracks.
The procedure is as follows.
1. [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]: Select RPN parameter 01.
2. [Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value. A
value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 0 [mm, vv=00,
00] is -100 cents, and 16383 [mm, vv=7F, 7F] is +99
cents.
Note: You can use the universal exclusive Fine Tune
message to adjust the overall tuning, corresponding to the
Global Master Tune parameter. For more information, see
"About system exclusive messages" on page 1152.
Transposing
RPN coarse tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 02]
This RPN message adjusts the transposition for Programs,
Combination Timbres, and Sequencer Tracks.
The procedure is as follows.
1. [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 02]: Select RPN parameter 02.
2. [Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value.
Normally only the upper byte is used.
A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 6656 [mm,
vv=34, 00] is –12 semitones, and 9728 [mm, vv=4C, 00] is
+12 semitones.
Note: You can use the universal exclusive Coarse Tune
message to adjust the overall tuning, corresponding to the
Global Transpose parameter. For more information, see
"About system exclusive messages" on page 1152.
Changing the pitch bend range
RPN pitch bend range [Bn, 64, 00, 65, 00]
This RPN message adjusts the pitch bend range for
Programs, Combination Timbres, and Sequencer Tracks.
The procedure is as follows.
1. [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 00]: Select RPN parameter 00.
2. [Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value.
Normally only the upper byte is used.
A value of 0 [mm, vv=00, 00] is +00, and a value of 1536
[mm, vv=0C, 00] is +12 (one octave). Although it is possible
to set a negative value for a timbre/track, only positive
values can be set using RPN messages.
About system exclusive messages
Since the way in which these messages are used is left up to
each manufacturer, they are mainly used to transmit and
receive sound data and editing data for parameters that are
unique to a particular instrument. The KRONOS's system
exclusive message format is [F0, 42, 3n, 68, ff, .... F7]
F0: exclusive status
1152
42: Korg ID
3n: [n=0–F] global MIDI channel 1–16
68: KRONOS model ID
ff: function ID (type of message)
:
:
F7: end of exclusive
Note: To obtain a copy of the "MIDI Implementation" which
includes MIDI System Exclusive format information, please
contact your Korg distributor.
Universal system exclusive
Certain of the system exclusive messages are publicly
defined for a specific use, and these are called universal
system exclusive messages.
The KRONOS uses the following six universal system
exclusive messages.
Inquiry message request [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 01, F7]
Inquiry message [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 02, (nine bytes), F7]
When an inquiry message request is received, the KRONOS
will respond by transmitting an inquiry message that means
"I am a Korg KRONOS, with system version ..."
GM system on [F0, 7E, nn, 09, 01, F7]
When this message is received in Sequencer mode, the
KRONOS will be initialized for GM playback.
Master volume [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 01, vv, mm, F7]
(vv: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of the value,
together indicating 16384 steps)
This message is transmitted if you assign Master Volume as
the function of the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL or as a
REALTIME KNOBS 5–8 and operate the controller. This
will adjust the overall volume balance without changing the
relative volume balance between timbres/tracks. When this
message is received, the result will be the same as when the
controller is operated.
Master balance [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 02, vv, mm, F7]
(vv: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of the value,
together indicating 16384 steps, where 8192 is the default
position, and lower values will move the sound toward the
left)
When this is received, the overall panning will be adjusted
without changing the relative panning between
timbres/tracks.
Master fine tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]
(A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 4096 [mm,
vv=20, 00] is –50 cents, and 12288 [mm, vv=60, 00] is +50
cents.)
When this is received, the "Master Tune" (Global P0: 0–1a)
parameter will be set.
Master coarse tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 04, vv, mm, F7]
(Normally only the upper byte mm is used. A value of 8192
[mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 6656 [mm, vv=34, 00] is –12
semitones, and 9728 [mm, vv=4C, 00] is +12 semitones.)
When this is received, the Key Transpose (Global 0–1a)
parameter will be set.
