EFFECT DATA FORMAT
Effects contain 64 bytes of packed parameter data. The first 11 bytes are common parameters for
all three configurations. The first 10 exist for compatibility with older software, and are always sent
as zeroes. 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 them
as two's complement numbers, add the value shown in the Offset column. For direct parameter
editing (sysex command 10H), the function, page, send, and data pot numbers are shown. The
Mode should be set to 3 (=Effects), and the Channel parameter is not used. The Send parameter
is not used where the Send parameter is shown as "x" below. Signed parameters should be sent
in 2's complement format.
