102-119: Uncharted Territory - Kurzweil PC88 Musician's Manual

(MSB). The third command is a Data Slider (06) followed by the desired value, or else a Data Increment or Decre-
ment (96 or 97), which increases or decreases the current value of the selected Parameter by 1.
Non-Registered Parameters can be anything a manufacturer wants them to be: any parameter in a synthesizer, sam-
pler, effects device, mixing console, lighting controller, etc. that is remotely addressable can be set up as a Non-Reg-
istered Parameter. Registered Parameters, however, have certain specific functions, which are defined in the MIDI
Specification. These are:
Decimal Hex
(MSB/LSB) (MSB/LSB)
00/00 00/00
00/01 00/01
00/02 00/02
00/03 00/03
00/04 00/04
127/127 7F/7F

102-119: Uncharted Territory

Controllers 102 through 119 do not have specific functions. On the Kurzweil PC88, however, these four do:
Decimal Hex
116 74
117 75
118 76
119 77

Applications
Range of the Pitch Bend wheel, with the MSB referring to
semitones and the LSB to cents (1/100ths of a semitone)
The PC88 transmits and responds to this message
("BndRng").
Tuning of the receiving device, with each increment of the
LSB equal to 1/8192nd of a semitone, and an overall range
(using both MSB and LSB) of -1 to +1 semitone. The PC88
responds to this message ("Tuning").
Tuning of the receiving device in semitones, with a range of -
64 to +64. The PC88 responds to this message ("Recv
Trans").
Selects a scale tuning that is stored in the device's RAM.
Selects a bank of tunings, which is then followed by selection
of a particular tuning program (RPN 03).
This "turns off" the last RPN or NRPN so that the Data Slider
and Data Increment/ Decrement switches can be used for
something else. Its use is optional, but it can help to avoid
confusion in very complex data streams.
Applications and notes
A switch, turns the Arpeggiator on and off.
Determines the play velocity for Arpeggiated notes when
the Arpeggiator Velocity Mode is set to "Ctrl"
A switch, latches currently-played notes so the Arpeggia-
tor will process them, and un-latches them. (Pedals mode
only)
A switch, latches currently-played notes so the Arpeggia-
tor will process them, and un-latches them.
