Example of an Exclusive
Calculating a Checksum
Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) are transmitted with a checksum at the end (before
F7) to make sure that the message was correctly received. The value of the checksum is
determined by the address and data (or size) of the transmitted Exclusive message.
How to calculate the checksum
(hexadecimal numbers are indicated by "H")
The checksum is a value derived by adding the address, size, and checksum itself and
inverting the lower 7 bits.
Here's an example of how the checksum is calculated. We will assume that in the Exclusive
message we are transmitting, the address is aa bb cc ddH and the data or size is ee ffH.
aa + bb + cc + dd + ee + ff = sum
sum 128 = quotient ... remainder
128 - remainder = checksum
<Example1> Setting MFX Type of Performance Common MFX to OVERDRIVE (DT1)
According to the "Parameter Address Map" (p. 146), the start address of Temporary
Performance is 10 00 00 00H, the offset address of Performance Common MFX is 02 00H,
and the address of MFX Type is 00 00H. Therefore the address of MFX Type of Performance
Common MFX is;
10 00 00 00H
02 00H
+) 00 00H
10 00 02 00H
OVERDRIVE has the value of 02H.
So the system exclusive message should be sent is;
F0 41 10 00 10 12 10 00 02 00
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland)
(4) Model ID (XV-2020) (5) Command ID (DT1)
Then calculate the checksum.
10H + 00H + 02H + 00H + 02H = 16 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 2 = 20 (sum)
20 (sum) 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 20 (remainder)
checksum = 128 - 20 (remainder) = 108 = 6CH
This means that F0 41 10 00 10 12 10 00 02 00 02 6C F7 is the message should be sent.
<Example2> Getting the data (RQ1) of Performance Part 3 in USER:03
According to the "Parameter Address Map" (p. 146), the start address of USER:03 is 20 02 00
00H, and the offset address of Performance Part 3 is 00 22 00H.
Therefore the start address of Performance Part 3 in USER:03 is;
20 02 00 00H
+) 00 22 00H
20 02 22 00H
As the size of Performance Part is 00 00 00 31H, the system exclusive message should be
sent is;
F0 41 10 00 10 11 20 02 22 00
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland)
(4) Model ID (XV-2020) (5) Command ID (RQ1)
Then calculate the checksum.
20H + 02H + 22H + 00H + 00H + 00H + 00H + 31H = 32 + 2 + 34 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 49
= 117 (sum)
117 (sum) 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 117 (remainder)
checksum = 128 - 117 (remainder) = 11 = 0BH
This means that F0 41 10 00 10 11 20 02 22 00 00 00 00 31 0B F7 is the message should be sent.

<Example3> Getting Temporary Performance data (RQ1)
According to the "Parameter Address Map" (p. 146), the start address of Temporary
Performance is assigned as following:
10 00 00 00H Temporary Performance Common
:
10 00 20 00H Temporary Performance Part 1
:
10 00 2F 00H Temporary Performance Part 16
As the data size of Performance Controller is 00 00 00 31H, summation of the size and the
start address of Temporary Performance Part 16 will be;
10 00 2F 00H
+) 00 00 00 31H
10 00 2F 31H
And the size that have to be got should be;
10 00 2F 31H
-) 10 00 00 00H
00 00 2F 31H
Therefore the system exclusive message should be sent is;
F0 41 10 00 10 11 10 00 00 00
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland)
(4) Model ID (XV-2020) (5) Command ID (RQ1)
Calculating the checksum as shown in <Example 2>, we get a message of F0 41 10 6A 11 10
00 00 00 00 00 2F 31 10 F7 to be transmitted.
<Example4> Getting data (RQ1) at once;
Temporary Performance data,
Temporary Patch data of whole part in Performance mode,
Temporary Rhythm data of whole part in Performance mode.
According to the "Parameter Address Map" (p. 146), the start address of the
above all parameters is assigned as following:
10 00 00 00H Temporary Performance
11 00 00 00H Temporary Patch (Performance Mode Part 1)
11 10 00 00H Temporary Rhythm (Performance Mode Part 1)
:
14 60 00 00H Temporary Patch (Performance Mode Part 16)
14 70 00 00H Temporary Rhythm (Performance Mode Part 16)
The offset address of Rhythm is also assigned as follows:
00 00 00H Rhythm Common
:
00 10 00H Rhythm Tone (Key # 21)
:
01 3E 00H Rhythm Tone (Key # 108)
As the data size of Rhythm Tone is 00 00 01 41H, summation of the size and the
start address of Temporary Rhythm Tone #108 in Performance mode will be;
14 70 00 00H
01 3E 00H
+) 00 00 01 41H
14 71 3F 41H
And the size that have to be got should be;
14 71 3F 41H
-) 10 00 00 00H
04 71 3F 41H
Therefore the system exclusive message should be sent is;
F0 41 10 00 10 11 10 00 00 00
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland)
(4) Model ID (XV-2020) (5) Command ID (RQ1)
Calculating the checksum as shown in <Example 2>, we get a message of F0 41 10 00 10 11
10 00 00 00 04 71 3F 41 7B F7 to be transmitted.
