V3 SOUND
This document contains ready to use MIDI
code für beginners.
But basic knowledge of MIDI is required.
With this document, beginners will be able
to use the digital effects of the V3SOUND
sound module as quickly and easily as possi-
ble in MIDI files or other MIDI applications.
To achieve this claim, some paragraphs from
the point of view of a programmer are not
entirely correct.
There are 128 standard MIDI controllers.
Many of these are defined to set the most
important parameter for each sound. For ex-
ample, the volume controller no. 7, the rever-
beration level no. 91, ...
If you want to set the volume of the sound
playing on channel 1 to a value of 100, send
on MIDI channel 1:
controller no. 7 - value 100.
Non-Registered Parameter Number (NRPN)
is part of the MIDI specification for control of
electronic musical instruments.
NRPNs allow manufacturer-specific MIDI
controllers that are not part of the basic MIDI
standard.
Unlike other MIDI controllers (such as veloci-
ty, modulation, volume, etc.),
NRPNs require three controller data to be
sent.
IMPORTANT
V3 SOUND NRPN controllers are
always controlled with MIDI channel 1
compared to the standard controllers.
Each standard MIDI controller always needs
a MIDI channel information for which MIDI
channel to act.
Each NRPN message always consists of three
controller data.
Here, the order of success is also important.
Controller 99 value 0-127
Controller 98 value 0-127
Controller 6 value 0-127
The values you enter for the controllers are
described below.
Please note explicitly point 2.3
There are many websites that deal with
MIDI, or basic things like decimal and hexa-
decimal systems.
This document does not teach anything
but shows only finished code.
We use
hexadecimal numbers
for System Exclusive Messages and
decimal numbers for all other messages.
Popular music programs like Cubase or
Cakewalk offer this way.
You need to know how to enter MIDI
messages in your MIDI software (like Cu-
base or Cakewalk), Sysex and other MIDI
controllers.

System Exclusive - SYSEX for short - are
control data for certain MIDI devices that
differ from the usual MIDI control data, be-
cause they are only recognized and inter-
preted by a specific device.
Each MIDI file must send a GM Reset as the
first message.
GM RESET = F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7
This message sets many parameters of the
Sounds Module to a default state with one
command.
GM does:
Since the sound module briefly resets up to
100 parameters during a GM reset, it is advis-
able to send the following MIDI commands
with a delay of 100 ms.
A SYSEX always starts with F0 and always
ends with F7. Some software programs do
not show these, but set these values auto-
matically.
If the SYSEX messages do not work,
check if a MIDI Filter is not active in the
sequencer software.

The V3 SOUND XXL sound modules
have two Global Effects for Reverb and
Chorus, and two four-bands Global
Equalizers.
Global Reverb and Global Chorus
are set with the standard MIDI control-
lers 91 (Reverb) and 93 (Chorus) per
MIDI channel.
The type of the Effects are selected with
SYSEX Messages.
For Global Reverb you can choose:
Room1, Room2, Room3, Hall1, Hall2
(default), Plate.
For Global Chorus you can choose:
Chorus1, Chorus2, Chorus3 (default),
Chorus4.
Signal Processing Synoptic
Global Master Equalizer
The V3 SOUND XXL sound moduls
offers two 4-bands Equalizer. These are
set with NRPN messages.
In addition to the two standard Global
Effects Reverb and Chorus, the new V3
SOUND sound module line XXL offers
two Multi Effects.
MFX stands for: Insert Multi-Effects
blocks (Distortion, Equalizer, Compres-
sor, Chorus/Flanger/Phaser/Tremolo/Ro-
tary, Delay).
A single MIDI track or also several
MIDI tracks can be switched to “Insert
FX ON”.
In this case these MIDI parts are going
through the MFX Insert Effect block first
(e.g. Guitar Multi-Effects) and after into
mixing (Front L/R, Rear L/R, Reverb,
Chorus and Delay send).
There are two MFX blocks in this firm-
ware which can be used as 2 individual
MFX blocks, or combined as one stereo
MFX block.
SYSEX and NRPN
Set the MIDI channel on which the MFX
is to be used with a SYSEX command.
The parameters of the MFX are then
controlled with NRPN messages.

After any GM Reset the Reverb HALL 2 is selected.
You must therefore send the SYSEX for a dierent Global Eect after the GM reset.
Tip for beginners
Power on settings for Global Reverb and Global Chorus are basically very pleasing.
A Global Room Eect could sometimes be an asset.
e MFX eects later in the document also have a Delay implemented.

NRPN messages consist of 3 controller messages.
The values of the first two controllers 99 and 98 are already given in the table. So just write
off. The value of the third controller with the controller number 6 (in the table with an x as
a proxy) determines as an example in the first entry of the table if you get more or less bass.

Tip for beginners
The values 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 127 give you more bass.
The values 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 127 give you more trebles.

If you use an INSERT MFX EFFECT, the
sound of the MIDI channel will be rou-
ted directly into the effect, and will be
added to the other sounds at the output.
The sound always goes through the
complete MFX Effects chain.
So if you only need one delay, make
sure that the other effects are off.
There is an on / off command for each
effect of the chain.

Wah-Wah is basically a special effect for guitars.
We recommend that you call up a preset.
Note:
If Auto-Wah is set ON (Auto-Wah sensitivity > 0), the Wah-Wah Filter Frequency
(= Wah-Wah Pedal Position) will be modulated by the current value of the channel
level detect. The parameters for setting up the level detector (attack and release) are
taken from Compressor settings.
The WahWah has no separate on-off
parameters like other effects in the MFX.
To turn off the WahWah you need to
call preset 0.
