GLOBAL DATA FORMAT
The Global parameters are comprised of 19 bytes of data. Unlike the Program, Mix, and Effects
parameters, the Global parameters are not packed into each available bit, so that each parameter
occupies its own byte. This results in unused bits for most of the parameter's bytes. These bits
must remain at 0. In addition, the signed parameters are kept in 2's compliment format, so no
offset adjustment is necessary. For direct parameter editing (sysex command 10H), the function,
page, and data pot number are shown. The Mode should be set to 0 (=Global), and the Sound
and Channel parameters are ignored.
# Parameter name
0. Global spare (deleted parameter)
1. Pitch transpose*
2. Pitch fine tune*
3. Keyboard scaling
4. Keyboard curve
5. Keyboard Transpose
6. Keyboard mode
7. Controller A number
8. Controller B number
9. Controller C number
10. Controller D number
11. Pedal 1 controller number
12. Pedal 2 controller number
13. MIDI program select
14. Global spare (deleted parameter) 0
15. Global spare (deleted parameter) 0
16. Global spare (deleted parameter) 0
17. General MIDI
18. A-D controller reset
19. A-D controller mode
* These parameters are transmitted, but are ignored when received as part of a Global data dump
(opcode 0A).
NEW MIX DATA FORMAT
Mixes contain 138 bytes of packed parameter data. The first 10 bytes are common parameters for
all 16 MIDI channels. The next 16 sets of 8 bytes contain each of the channel's parameters. The
bit addresses shown are from most significant bit to least significant bit for each parameter, with
the byte number first, followed by a colon (:), followed by the bit number. Each parameter should
never exceed the limit shown in the table. For bipolar parameters, the limits shown are offset
binary, since this is the format that the parameters are stored in. To view the parameters as two's
complement numbers, add the value shown in the Offset column. For direct parameter editing
(sysex command 10H), the function, page, and data pot number are shown. The Mode should be
set to 1 (=Mix), the Sound parameter is ignored, and the Channel parameter should be set to 0
through 15, for channels 1 through 16, respectively. Signed parameters should be sent in 2's
complement format.
