5.14 About MIDI System Exclusive messages
System Exclusive messages are used to transmit data which is specific to a particular manufacturer or
device.
The Prophecy's System Exclusive message format is [F0,42,3n,41,ff, ... ,F7] (n: Global MIDI Channel, ff:
Function code). These messages are used for the functions explained in "5.15 Transmitting sound
program data etc. (Data Dump)" and "5.16
E~iting
sound programs etc."
A few special System Exclusive messages are used for data which is not limited to a particular
manufacturer or device. These are called Universal System Exclusive messages.
The Prophecy uses the following Universal System Exclusive messages.
*
When an Inquiry Message Request [F0,7F,nn,06,01,F7] (nn: MIDI channel) is received, the Prophecy will
transmit an Inquiry message [F0,7E,nn,06,02, (9 bytes), F7] saying; "I am a Korg Prophecy, system version
5.15 Transmitting sound program data
(Data Dump)
Programs, arpeggio patterns, and global data can be transmitted to an external device as MIDI exclusive
data.
To transmit this data, use the Global mode page GLB-18 [MIDI DataDump]. There you can specify the
type of data to be transmitted.
If
the GLB-15 [Sys EX Filter] MIDI Exclusive Data Transmission setting is ON (Xmt: ON), selecting a
program will cause MIDI Exclusive data for 1 program to be transmitted.
The Prophecy can also transmit these data dumps in response to a Dump Request. These types of data
are transmitted and received on the Global MIDI channel.
5.16 Editing sound programs, etc.
By using MIDI System Exclusive Parameter Change messages, you can modify individual parameters
from an external device.
If you wish to use this, set the Edit mode Global section page GLB-15 [SysEX Filter] Transmit to ON, and
Receive to ENABLE.
• If
in page GLB-18 you specify either a bank of programs or an individual program as the data to be dumped, the
received data will be written directly into backup memory, so there is no need to use the Write operation.
However in the case of the data that is dumped when a program is selected, or parameter change data that is
transmitted during editing, the changes that result will affect only the editing memory, and
if
you wish to save
that program you will need to use the Write operation. (You do not need to use the Write operation for Global
parameter data and Arpeggio Pattern data.)
It
is possible to perform the Write operation using the MIDI
exclusive message Program Write. (Refer to the separate parameter guide, "MIDI Implementation".)
