MIDI Implementation
❍ General Purpose Controller 6 (Controller number 81)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 51H
n = MIDI channel number:0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
vv = Control value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
❍ General Purpose Controller 7 (Controller number 82)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 52H
n = MIDI channel number:0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
vv = Control value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
❍ General Purpose Controller 8 (Controller number 83)
Status 2nd byte
BnH 53H
n = MIDI channel number:0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
vv = Control value: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
● Program Change
Status 2nd byte
CnH ppH
n = MIDI channel number:0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
pp = Program number:00H - 7FH (prog.1 - prog.128)
* These messages are transmitted when Patch is selected. But not transmitted when Transmit
Program Change parameter (SYSTEM Common MIDI) is OFF.
● Channel Pressure
Status 2nd byte
DnH vvH
n = MIDI channel number:0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
vv = Channel Pressure:00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
● Pitch Bend Change
Status 2nd byte
EnH llH
n = MIDI channel number:0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
mm, ll = Pitch Bend value:00 00H - 40 00H - 7F 7FH (-8192 - 0 - +8191)

ccH, ddH, eeH, ... ffH, sum
Byte Explanation
F0H Exclusive status
41H ID number (Roland)
dev Device ID (dev: 00H - 1FH, 7FH)
00H Model ID #1 (V-Synth GT)
00H Model ID #2 (V-Synth GT)
21H Model ID #3 (V-Synth GT)
12H Command ID (DT1)
aaH Address MSB: upper byte of the starting address of the data to be sent
bbH Address: upper middle byte of the starting address of the data to be sent
ccH Address: lower middle byte of the starting address of the data to be sent
ddH Address LSB: lower byte of the starting address of the data to be sent.
eeH Data: the actual data to be sent.
Multiple bytes of data are transmitted in order starting from the address.

ffH Data
sum Checksum
F7H EOX (End Of Exclusive)
* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and
data will be transmitted from the specified starting address and size. Refer to the address
and size given in "Parameter Address Map" (p. 7).
* Data larger than 256 bytes will be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and each
packet will be sent at an interval of about 20 ms.
