1. CHANNEL MESSAGES

1.1 Key On / Key Off
Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played.
Reception note range = C-2 (0)-G8 (127), C3 = 60
Velocity range = 1-127 (Only the Key On velocity is received)
Key On: Generated when a key is pressed.
Key Off: Generated when a key is released.
Each message includes a specific note number which
corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity
value based on how hard the key is struck.
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv NOTE MESSAGE (Table 1-4)
= OFF for a specific Part, that Part will ignore Key On and
Key Off messages.
If the Drum Setup parameter Rcv NOTE OFF (Table 1-5) =
OFF, the Drum Part will ignore Key Off messages.
If the Drum Setup parameter Rcv NOTE ON = OFF (Table 1-
5), the Drum Part will ignore Key On messages.
1.2 Control Change
Messages which control volume, panning, and other
controller parameters.
Each type of Control Change message is assigned to a
specific control number.
If the Multi Part parameter for each Control Change Receive
(Table 1-4, nn30-nn40) = OFF, that Part will ignore the
specific Control Change message.
1.2.1 Bank Select
Messages which select variation Voice bank
numbers.
CNTRL# PARAMETER
0 Bank Select MSB
32 Bank Select LSB
You can select the Voice banks with MSB and LSB
numbers. MSB and LSB functions differently depending
on the sound module mode.
In XG mode, MSB numbers select Voice type (Normal
Voice or Drum Voice), and LSB numbers select Voice
banks. In TG300B mode, LSB is fixed, and MSB numbers
select Voice banks.(See XG/TG300B normal voice list,
XG/TG300B drum voice list, S-VA voice list.)
A new bank selection will not become effective until the
next Program Change message is received.
