Transmits the selected performance data. In the case
of a note message, the note is sounded.
Explanation
Note messages
These MIDI messages represent musical notes. From
the left, the parameters are the note number that
indicates the name of the note (Note Number), the
on-velocity that specifies the force with which the
key is struck (On Velocity), the duration that specifies
the length of the note (Duration), and the off-velocity
that specifies how quickly the key was released (Off
Velocity).
Program change messages
These MIDI messages switch sounds. Specify the
program number (PC#) to select a sound.
Control change messages
These MIDI messages apply various effects such
as modulation and expression. Use the controller
number (CC#) to select the function, and specify how
deeply it will apply (Value).
Pitch bend messages
These MIDI messages vary the pitch. The value
(Value) specifies the amount of pitch change.
Polyphonic aftertouch
These MIDI messages apply aftertouch to individual
keys. From the left, the parameters are the note
number that specifies the key (Note Number), and
the value that specifies how deeply aftertouch is
applied (Value).
Channel aftertouch messages
These MIDI messages apply aftertouch to an entire
MIDI channel. The value (Value) specifies how deeply
aftertouch is applied.
System exclusive messages
These MIDI messages control settings that are unique
to the FA, such as sound and tonal character. Insert
the data between "F0" and "F7."
Tempo change
This is tempo data recorded in the tempo track. The
song plays back according to these tempo change
values (Value).
Time signature
This is time signature data recorded in the time
signature track.
