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.
