3-1. NOTES
*1 : kk range = (28-100) for 73-keys model
= (21-108) for 88-keys model
*2 : See TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 for Bank and Program numbers of Factory and Favorite Sounds.
*3 : Only transmitted by the “MIDI Panic” function.
Concerning the Registered Parameter Numbers (RPN), the values sent when “MIDI Panic” is performed
are the reset values for the following registered parameters:
r = 0 : Pitch Bend Sensitivity
= 1 : Fine Tune (Detune)
= 2 : Coarse Tune (Transpose)
= 5 : Modulation depth range
*4 : Function of a pedal plugged into the “Pedal 2” input:
If the pedal is a “switch”-type pedal, it works as a Soft controller.
If the pedal is a “continuous”-type of pedal, it controls Expression, unless PRE_FX is enabled and set
to “VOX Wah”, in which case the pedal works as a Breath controller.
*5 : Polyphonic After Touch and Channel Pressure work only on those programs where these parameters are ena-
bled.
*6 : If the Wah eect is selected and Auto/Pedal is ON, the Breath controls the lter.
*7 : Bank Select (MSB) values others than indicated in TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 are ignored.
*8 : If the Rotary eect is selected, Sostenuto controls the rotor’s speed.
*9 : Recognized parameter numbers (r) are:
+----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Parameter number (r) | Description |
+----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Fine Tune (Detune) |
| 2 | Coarse Tune (Transpose) |
+----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
*10: SV-2 performs Local Control On/O, regardless of the SV-2 MIDI channel
*11: SV-2 implements only Omni O/Poly mode.
Reception of dierent modes act as if it has received “All Notes O” mode message.

SECTION B. EDITING MESSAGES
1. OVERVIEW
Each editing message has the following structure:
F0 42 30 60 00 Header
FUNCTION CODE 1 Byte, species the action of the message
PARAMETER ADDRESS 3 Bytes, species the object to which the action refers
(OPTIONAL DATA) Variable number of (optional) bytes, depending on the Function Code and Parameter
Address combined. Below in this document, each message and their optional data are
described apart.
F7 End of Message
FUNCTION CODE
Possible Function Codes are shown in the following table:
+--------------+------------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------------+
|Function Code | Message name | Parameter | Parameter | Message direction |
| [H] [D] | | Access | data type | |
+--------------+------------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------------+
| 60 (96) | Change Integer Parameter | R, W, RW | Integer | Received / Transmitted |
| 60 (96) | Change String Parameter | R, W, RW | String | Received / Transmitted |
| 62 (98) | Request Parameter Value | R, RW | Integer / String | Received only |
| 64 (100) | Command | C | (no data) | Received only |
| 65 (101) | Signal | S | (no data) | Transmitted only |
+--------------+------------------------------+-----------+------------------+------------------------+
PARAMETER ADDRESS
Each editing message refers to a specic parameter through a parameter address. Parameter address is
made of 3 bytes: GROUP, ADDR_LSB, ADDR_MSB.
See TABLE 2 for a complete list of all parameter addresses.
PARAMETER DATA TYPE
Most parameters represent data, whose type is either “integer” or “string”.
Depending on the parameter data type, either “CHANGE INTEGER PARAMETER” or “CHANGE STRING PARAMETER”
message is used to modify the value of that parameter data.
TABLE 2 shows the notation “(string)” for parameter data of type string. By default, any other parameter
data type is integer.
PARAMETER ACCESS
TABLE 2 also shows an “Access” property for each parameter.
The “Access” property provides information on which editing message(s) that particular parameter is
intended to be used with. It also tells if each parameter data is only readable (R), only writable (W),
or both readable and writable (RW).
2. MESSAGE FORMAT DETAILS
CHANGE INTEGER PARAMETER MESSAGE
Received: Change value of a given INTEGER parameter.
Transmitted: When a given INTEGER parameter has been changed.
F0 42 30 60 00 Excl Header
60 Function code
GROUP Parameter address
ADDR_LSB
ADDR_MSB
DATA_LSB_L Parameter value
DATA_MSB_L
DATA_LSB_H
DATA_MSB_H
F7
Parameter value is a 28-bit number. Negative values are represented in 2’s complement.
DATA_LSB_L = value & 0x7f
DATA_MSB_L = (value >> 7) & 0x7f
DATA_LSB_M = (value >> 14) & 0x7f
DATA_MSB_M = (value >> 21) & 0x7f
This message may only work in conjunction with parameters with “R”, “W” or “RW” Access property.
This message does not work in conjunction with parameters with “(string)” annotation TABLE 2.

9
CHANGE STRING PARAMETER MESSAGE
Received: Change value of a given STRING parameter.
Transmitted: When given STRING parameter has been changed.
F0 42 30 60 00 Excl Header
60 Function code
GROUP Parameter address
ADDR_LSB
ADDR_MSB
LENG_LSB string length
LENG_MSB
<ch1> <ch2> .. <ch n-1> ASCII string
00 string terminator
F7
String lenght is a 14-bit number.
LENG_LSB = length & 0x7f
LENG_MSB = (length & 0x3f80) >> 7;
This message may only work in conjunction with parameters with “R”, “W” or “RW” Access property.
This message works only in conjunction with parameters with “(string)” annotation TABLE 2.
REQUEST PARAMETER VALUE MESSAGE
Received only: Requires SV-2 to send the current value of a given INTEGER or STRING parameter. SV-2
will reply with either “Change Integer Parameter” or “Change String Parameter” message, depending on
the parameter data type.
F0 42 30 60 00 Excl Header
62 Function code
GROUP Parameter address
ADDR_LSB
ADDR_MSB
F7
This message works in conjunction with every parameter with “R” or “RW” Access property.
COMMAND MESSAGE
Received only: Requires SV-2 to perform the specied command.
F0 42 30 60 00 Excl Header
64 Function code
GROUP Parameter address
ADDR_LSB
ADDR_MSB
F7
This message works in conjunction with parameters with “C” Access property.
SIGNAL MESSAGE
Transmitted only: Status change notication.
F0 42 30 60 00 Excl Header
65 Function code
GROUP Parameter address
ADDR_LSB
ADDR_MSB
00
00
F7
This message works in conjunction with parameters with “S” Access property.
Signals may be transmitted at the end of operations on parameters with Access type “C” or “W”.
