Lyric Meta Events are intended to display text together with the music. Pa4X

CC# Meaning
This message instructs an instrument to play a note on a
specific channel. Notes have both a name (C4 standing for
the center C) and a number (60 being the equivalent for
C4). A Note Off message is often used to say the note has
been released.
Together with the Note On message, a Velocity value is
always sent. This value tells the instrument how loud the
note must play.
You can generate this message acting on the joystick (X
direction). The pitch is translated up or down.
When you select a Sound, a Program Change message is
generated on the channel. Use this message, together with
Control Change 00 and 32, to remotely select Pa4X data
from a sequencer or a master keyboard.
This is a wide array of messages, controlling most of the
instrument parameters. Some examples:
00 This message pair is used to select a Sound Bank. Together
with the Program Change message, they are used to select
32
a Sound.
01 This is the equivalent of pressing up the joystick. A vibrato
effect is usually triggered on.
07 Use this controller to set the channel's volume.
10 This one sets the channel's position on the stereo front.
11 Use this controller to set the relative volume of tracks,
with the maximum value matching the current setting of
the CC07 control.
64 Use this controller to simulate the Damper pedal.
