MIDI Implementation
As the data size of Rhythm Tone is 00 00 01 41H, summation of the size and the
start address of Tone 4 of Part 16 at Temporay Patch in Performance mode will
be;
14 70 00 00H
01 3E 00H
+) 00 00 01 41H
14 71 3F 41H
And the size that have to be got should be;
14 71 3F 41H
-) 10 00 00 00H
04 71 3F 41H
Therefore the system exclusive message should be sent is;
F0 41 10 00 10 11
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
(1) Exclusive Status, (2) ID (Roland),
(4) Model ID (XV-5080), (5) Command ID (RQ1),
Calculating the checksum as shown in <Example 2>, we get a message of F0 41 10 00 10 11
10 00 00 00 04 71 3F 41 7B F7 to be transmitted.
The Scale Tune Feature (address: 40 1x 40)
The scale Tune feature allows you to finely adjust the individual pitch of the notes from C
through B. Though the settings are made while working with one octave, the fine
adjustments will affect all octaves. By making the appropriate Scale Tune settings, you can
obtain a complete variety of tuning methods other than equal temperament. As examples,
three possible types of scale setting are explained below.
Equal Temperament
This method of tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts. It is currently the most widely
used form of tuning, especially in occidental music. On the XV-5080, the default settings for
the Scale Tune feature produce equal temperament.
Just Temperament (Tonic of C)
The principal triads resound much more beautifully than with equal temperament, but this
benefit can only be obtained in one key. If transposed, the chords tend to become
ambiguous. The example given involves settings for a key in which C is the keynote.
Arabian Scale
By altering the setting for Scale Tune, you can obtain a variety of other tunings suited for
ethnic music. For example, the settings introduced below will set the unit to use the Arabian
Scale.
Example Settings
Note name Equal
Temperament
C 0
C# 0
D 0
D# 0
E 0
F 0
F# 0
G 0
G# 0
A 0
A# 0
B 0
The values in the table are given in cents. Refer to the explanation of Scale Tuning on page
??? to convert these values to hexadecimal, and transmit them as Exclusive data.
For example, to set the tune (C-B) of the Part1 Arabian Scale, send the following data:
F0 41 10 42 12 40 11 40 3A 6D 3E 34 0D 38 6B 3C 6F 40 36 0F 76 F7
