Midi Data Format - Yamaha DISKLAVIER E3 Operation Manual

MIDI Data Format

If you are familiar with MIDI, or are using a computer to control your music software with computer-
generated MIDI messages, the data provided in this section can help you to control your Disklavier.
Messages include those that can be received by the piano part and/or those that can be received by an
ESBL part. Messages that can be transmitted as well as received are shown as "transmitted."
1. CHANNEL MESSAGES
1.1 Key On / Key Off
(Piano Part, ESBL Part) (transmitted)
Piano Part reception note range = A-1~C7 : C3=60
ESBL part reception note range = C-2~G8
Velocity range = 1~127 (Only the Key On velocity is received)
1.2 Control Change
1.2.1 Bank Select
(ESBL Part) (transmitted)
Cntrl# Parameter
0 Bank Select MSB
32 Bank Select LSB
You can select the Voice banks with MSB and LSB numbers.
MSB and LSB functions differently depending on the play mode.
In XG mode, MSB numbers select Voice type (Normal Voice or
Drum Voice), and LSB number select Voice banks.
In TG300B mode, LSB is fixed, and MSB numbers select Voice
banks.
(See Normal Voice List Drum Voice List.)
A new bank selection will not become effective until the next
Program Change message is received.
1.2.2 Modulation
(ESBL Part)
Cntrl# Parameter
1 Modulation
1.2.3 Portamento Time
(ESBL Part)
Cntrl# Parameter
5 Portamento Time
When the parameter 1.2.9 Portamento = ON, values will adjust
the speed of pitch change.
A setting of 0 - minimum portamento time, and 127 - maximum
portamento time.
1.2.4 Data Entry
(ESBL Part)
Messages which set the value for the parameter specified by
RPN/NRPN.
Cntrl# Parameter
6 Data Entry MSB
38 Data Entry LSB
Parameter value is determined by combining MSB and LSB.
