Using MIDI
notes being sustained by the pedal continue
to sound until the next pedal off signal is re-
ceived.
Reset All Controllers initializes pitch bend
and all other control changes.
System Exclusive controls fine tone adjust-
ments unique to a particular system. The
system exclusives are unique to a particular
system; however, there are “universal” sys-
tem exclusives that are common among de-
vices produced by individual manufacturers.
These are the system exclusive messages
supported by this keyboard.
• GM system On ([F0][7E][7F][09]
[01][F7]) — used to turn on the key-
board’s GM (General MIDI) mode from
an external MIDI device.
Notes:
• GM is a standard list of specifications
that allows music created on one
MIDI device to sound the same when
played on another MIDI device. This
keyboard’s GM system incorporates
most of these specifications.
• This message takes more time to pro-
cess than other messages; when you
program GM system On in the
sequencer, leave at least a 100 msec
pause before the next message.
• GM system Off ([F0][7E][7F][09]
[02][F7]) — used to turn off the key-
board’s GM system.
• Effect Change ([F0][44][0B][09]
[xx][F7]) — switches the keyboard’s
internal digital effects. xx determines the
type of reverberation effect.
Note: The contents of the System Exclusive
message affect the entire keyboard. Other
messages affect only the current MIDI chan-
nel.
