MODEL D User Manual

7. System Exclusive Commands

Some parameters in the MODEL D synthesizer can be changed using MIDI system
exclusive (SysEx) commands.
A MIDI utility such as the popular MIDI OX can be used to send the SysEx
command data string to the MODEL D using the USB MIDI conection between a
host computer and the MODEL D.
Section 5.2 shows a typical procedure for sending a SysEx message to the
MODEL D, and it can be used to send any of the following SysEx messages.
7.1 SysEx Data Format
The following data format is used when creating a SysEx message (with the data
beginning with F0 and ending with F7).
F0 00 20 32 aa bb cc dd ee ff F7
The various items in this SysEx data string are described below:
Item Description
00 20 32 Manufacturer SysEX ID number (Behringer GmbH)
aa Reserved
bb Device ID: 00-0xF (must match hardware
device ID), or 7F to address all devices.
Note: This is the same as the Poly Chain ID. It is not the MIDI Channel
cc Main parameter number (see Command Table below)
dd Sub parameter number (see Command Table below)
ee Parameter value MSB (will be zero unless the parameter value is
greater than 127)
ff Parameter value LSB (Range is 0 to 127) (see Command Table below)

*Note: If you use SysEx instead of the recommended A-440 method to turn on
the Poly Chain, then the Poly Chain Device ID of other units in the chain will not
be set automatically. You have to use SysEx to set the Poly Chain ID of the first
MODEL D to Device ID=0, the second MODEL D to ID=1, the third MODEL D to
ID=3 and so on. All MODEL D units must have the same MIDI channel.
