kk= source note number for pitch reference : 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)

* When a Note On message is received after a Portamento Control message,

the voice’s pitch will glide from the pitch specified by the source note num-
ber of the Portamento Control message at the rate set by the portamento
time controller (regardless portamento on/off.) 
If there is a currently sounding voice whose note number is coincident with
the source note number, the voice’s pitch will glide to the new Note On’s
pitch according to the portamento time without re-triggering (played in lega-
to).  Then no new voice should be assigned.

mm=MSB of the NRPN

* Recognized when “Rx.NRPN = ON.”

“Rx.NRPN” is set to OFF by power-on reset or by receiving “Turn General
MIDI System On,” and it is set to ON by “GS RESET.”

* The values set by NRPN won’t reset by receiving new Program Change

messages or Reset All Controllers.

**NRPN**

An NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) is an expanded control
change message.
Each function of an NRPN is described by the individual manufacturer.
To use NRPN, set NRPN number (MSB/LSB) before sending data.  Then
send data by Data entry message (Controller number 6/38).  And then, it is
recommended to send RPN null (RPN number = 7FH/7FH) to prevent the
data from being unexpectedly change.

SCB-55 recognizes the following RPN functions.
