Portamento Control; Eff Ect 1 (Reverb Send Level) (Controller Number 91); Eff Ect 3 (Chorus Send Level) (Controller Number 93); Nrpn Msb/Lsb - Roland F-120R Implementation Manual

❍ Portamento Control (Controller Number 84)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 54H
n = MIDI channel number:
kk = source note number:
* A Note-on received immediately after a Portamento Control message will change
continuously in pitch, starting from the pitch of the Source Note Number.
* If a voice is already sounding for a note number identical to the Source Note
Number, this voice will continue sounding (i.e., legato) and will, when the next
Note-on is received, smoothly change to the pitch of that Note-on.
* The rate of the pitch change caused by Portamento Control is determined by the
Portamento Time value.

❍ Eff ect 1 (Reverb Send Level) (Controller Number 91)

Status 2nd bytes
BnH 5BH
n = MIDI channel number:
vv = Control value :
* This message adjusts the Reverb Send Level of each Part.

❍ Eff ect 3 (Chorus Send Level) (Controller Number 93)

Status 2nd byte
BnH 5DH
n = MIDI channel number:
vv = Control value:
* This message adjusts the Chorus Send Level of each Part.
❍ NRPN MSB/LSB (Controller Number 98, 99)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 63H
BnH 62H
n = MIDI channel number:
mm = upper byte (MSB) of the parameter number specifi ed by NRPN
ll = lower byte (LSB) of the parameter number specifi ed by NRPN
* Rx. NRPN is set to OFF by power-on reset or by receiving "GM1 System On" or "GM2
System On, " and NRPN message will be ignored. NRPN message will be received
when Rx. NRPN = ON, or by receiving "GS RESET. "
* The value set by NRPN will not be reset even if Program Change or Reset All
Controllers is received.
**NRPN**
The NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) message allows an extended range of
control changes to be used.
To use these messages, you must fi rst use NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB messages
to specify the parameter to be controlled, and then use Data Entry messages to
specify the value of the specifi ed parameter. Once an NRPN parameter has been
specifi ed, all Data Entry messages received on that channel will modify the value
of that parameter. To prevent accidents, it is recommended that you set RPN Null
(RPN Number = 7FH/7FH) when you have fi nished setting the value of the desired

parameter. Refer to Section 4. Supplementary material "Examples of actual MIDI
messages" <Example 4>. On the GS devices, Data entry LSB (llH) of NRPN (contrpller
number 38) is ignored, so it is no problem to send Data entry MSB (mmH) only
without Data entry LSB (controller number 6).
On this instrument, NRPN can be used to modify the following parameters.
NRPN Data entry
MSB LSB MSB
01H 08H mmH
01H 09H mmH
01H 0AH mmH
01H 20H mmH
01H 21H mmH
01H 63H mmH
01H 64H mmH
01H 66H mmH
* Parameters marked "relative change" will change relatively to the preset value(40H).
Even among diff erent GS devices, "relative change" parameters may sometimes
diff er in the way the sound changes or in the range of change.
* Parameters marked "absolute change" will be set to the absolute value of the
parameter, regardless of the preset value.
* Data entry LSB (llH) is ignored.
