Kinds of MIDI Data.
■MIDI
can
be used to many
kinds
of
messages
that
contain instructions and information to be
used by
the receiving
synthesizer
and/or
rhythm
machines.
The
main kinds
of
MIDI
data are
described
below.
1 •
CHANNEL VOICE
MESSAGES
These tell the
receiving synthesizer(s) which sounds
to
use,
which notes to
play.
and when
to start
and stop
playing those
notes.
They may
also include instructions
to use
portamento,
modulation, and
other
effects.
IJ
NOTE ON EVENT
This
tells the
receiving
synth
to
start
playing a
note
(equivalent
to
depressing
a
key
on the
keyboard).
I]
NOTE
OFF EVENT
This telils
the receiving synth to
stop playing a note
(equivalent
to
releasing
the
key on the keyboard).
B
CONTROL CHANGES
This
can
be used
to control
pitch modulation, sustain
(dampe r),
portamento,
and other effects
.
liJ
PROGRAM CHANGES
This is
usecil
to
select
the
sound program number to
be
used.
Therefore,
the receiving
synth(s) can
be
made to
change
its sound
by remote
control.
0
CHANNEL PRESSURE (AFTER
TOUCH)
This message
indicates
the operation of
After
Touch
(a
function to add effects
such as
pitch modulation
by
pressing
harder
after
playing the key
on
the key-
board).
0
PITCH BENDER CHANGES
This is used
to
control
pitch
bend
effect.
NOTE ON and NOTE OFF EVENT above also

NOTE NUMBER
Every
note has
a number (representing

VELOCITY
This
determines
how
loud the
note is
played. (Not
all
synths
can send
or receive
this
data; however,
no pro-
blems are created
by mixing
velocity
and
non-velocity
sensrtive keyboards.)
The
relationship
between
velocity
value
and ··volume"
is
shown
in the
chart
here.
