Part I
MIDI Message Overview
1 Product Configuration as a MIDI Device
As a MIDI device, this Instrument consists of the System Section, Sound Generator Section, and Performance Controller
Section described below.
Each of these sections sends and receives specific MIDI Messages in accordance with its function.
•System Section
–Device settings
–Function status
•Sound Generator Section
–Common
Sound generator common section
System effects
Equalizer and brilliance adjustment function
Mixer master
–Parts
Sound generator Instrument parts
DSP (insertion effects)
Mixer channel
•Performance Controller Section
–Keyboard
–Real-time controllers
Pedals
Bender
Registration
Assignable buttons
–Auto play function
1.1 System Section
The System Section consists of a sound generator (sound source), a performance controller part (performance), and functions
that are not directly related to Instrument play. In addition to manipulating Instrument setting parameters, this section is
also used to exchange information.
1.2 Sound Generator Section
The Sound Generator Section consists of a common part that does not depend on the channel and a part that is specific
to each channel. Mainly it receives performance information and performs operations.

7
1.2.1 Sound generator common section
The common section consists of sound generator setting blocks that do not depend on the sound generator part, such as
system effects, mixer master control, etc.
These can be controlled by system exclusive messages that are basically exclusive to this particular Instrument, but several
parameters also can be controlled by general universal system exclusive messages.
1.2.2 Sound Generator Parts
The settings of the sound generator parts can be changed using Instrument-specific system exclusive messages.
This Instrument consists of 36 parts. Of these, channel messages can be used to perform note on operations and to change
settings of only the C Group (C01 through C16).
The relationships between the channel message receive channel and part number are fixed, as shown below.
Group A parts A01 through A04 are referred to as “zones”. See the Instruments User’s Guide for details about zones.
Note 1:
Can be changed by zone editing.
Note 2:
This is the DSP line assignment priority. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. For details, see “11.2.1 DSP Line
Structure and Assignment”.

1.2.3 MIDI Receive and Registration
The registration (setup) can be switched by MIDI message. For details about messages, see “19.1 Panel Parameter”.
When switching the registration by MIDI message, the parts reflected by the zone parameters are determined in accordance
with the MIDI send channel setting values of the zone parameters.
The following describes an example of how this works.
Note 1:
Zone parameters are reflected by Group B parts during playback of MIDI files by this Instrument, and by Group C parts
during MIDI receipt from an external device.
Common parameters are not affected. Use this Instrument’s registration function to change common parameters.
Also note that Group A parts are given priority for DSP line assignment. If Group A parts use up all the DSP lines, the
DSP settings of part reflected by the zones are ignored.
For details about DSP line assignments, see “11.2.1 DSP Line Structure and Assignment”.
1.3 Performance Controller Section
The Performance Controller Section consists of keyboard, pedal, and other real-time controllers, as well as blocks that
generate auto performance and other performance information.
These messages are transmitted to the sound generator in accordance with operations, while they are also being sent out
as MIDI messages.
The channel number of the sent message is in accordance with part settings, etc.
1.3.1 Auto Performance MIDI Send
This document covers what operations are sent by messages for each message type. However, since there is wide variation
in the messages that can be sent during an auto performance operation, messages are not covered here.
1.3.2 MIDI Send by Registration
The final MIDI messages sent during a registration operation are system exclusive messages that are specific to this
Instrument, which can switch the registration during MIDI receipt.
For details about messages, see “19.1 Panel Parameter”.
Also, messages that can be sent during a registration operation are so diverse and wide-ranging, messages are not covered
in detail here.

1.3.3 MIDI Send by Assignable Buttons
The message(s) sent when an assignable button is pressed depends on the function assigned to the button. Also, any control
change message can be assigned to an assignable button. Since messages that can be sent by an assignable button operation
are so diverse and wide-ranging, messages are not covered in detail here.
2 Conditions that Disable Message Send and Receive
All MIDI message send and receive is temporarily disabled in all of the following cases.
•During Instrument startup
•During SD card formatting
•During storage of registration data
•While “STORAGE” is selected as the “USB DEVICE MODE”.
3 Timbre Type Specific Operation
The operation that is performed for a received message depends on the current Timbre Type setting (see “11.1 About Timbre
Type”), which is the operation mode of each sound generator part. Applicable information is provided in the explanations
for each message.

Part II
Channel Message
4 Send Channel
For information about the MIDI channels of the channel messages that are sent when this Instrument is played, see
“1.2.2 Sound Generator Parts”. Note, however, that the MIDI channel of the performance information that corresponds to
the keyboard main part can be changed by zone editing.
5 Receive Channel
For information about the MIDI channel numbers of channel messages received by each part, see “1.2.2 Sound Generator
Parts”.
The MIDI channel number of a channel message that changes DSP settings also coincides with the MIDI channel of the
part using the DSP. A channel message is not received by a part that is turned off by the Part Enable Parameter value
explained under “20.7 Part Parameters”.

Send
Sent in the following cases.
•When a tone selection is made
•When a program change message is specified by a zone edit operation
For information about numbers, see the Tone List in the User’s Guide.
Receive
Receipt switches the tone bank number stored in Instrument memory. Note, however, that the tone is not changed until a
Program Change message is received.
For details, see “11 Program Change”.
For information about numbers, see the Tone List in the User’s Guide.
9.2 Modulation (01H)
Format
Send
See “1.3.3 MIDI Send by Assignable Buttons”.
Receive
Receipt adds, to the voice being sounded, modulation of a depth specified by the value. In the case of a tone that already
has modulation applied, receipt of this message increases the modulation depth. The modulation effect differs according
to the tone being used.
9.3 Portamento Time (05H)

Send
See “1.3.3 MIDI Send by Assignable Buttons”.
Receive
Receipt changes the part volume level.
How this message differs from Volume (07H)
Though this message is operationally identical to that of “9.5 Volume (07H),” the purposes of the two messages are different.
This message is used, for example, for crescendo/decrescendo, and other forms of expression while playing. “9.5 Volume

These messages are used to control DSP operation.
Format
Send
Sent when a DSP parameter value is specified by a zone edit operation.
Receive
Receipt changes the value of DSP Parameter 7 [0 to 7] (7-bit parameter) assigned to the part specified by the MIDI Channel
Number. For details about parameters, see “21.3 DSP Parameters”.
Any message received that corresponds to the parameter of a number not being used by the currently selected DSP is ignored.
Note 1:
Received values and parameter setting values
The range of the value of each DSP Parameter 7 array element depends on the selected DSP or array number.
Unlike manipulation of a DSP parameter using a System Exclusive Message, a value received by this control change message
is always in the range of 0 to 127, but the range is changed in accordance with the setting range of the applicable parameter
setting. Because of this, it is impossible for a value to be outside of the range.
Conversion to the parameter setting value from the value received with the message can be represented in general terms
by the expression shown below.
For details about Parameter 7 of each DSP, see the explanations under “VI DSP Parameter List”.

portamento effect is applied to the note using this Source Note Number as the pitch start point and the Note On event key
number as the end point. If there already is a note being sounded by Source Note Number at this time, the new note on
is not performed and the portamento effect is applied to the pitch of the note being sounded. That is to say that legato
play is performed.
