expression pedals (CC n.11), etc.

SYSTEM MESSAGES
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE
These messages can only be interpreted by an instrument made by the same producer as the transmitter device (in some
cases only by the same model). They mainly relate to the instrument’s sound generation and programming parameters.
The Prestige uses these messages to control all the internal parameters and for switching the voices on and off.
REAL TIME
These messages are used for the real-time control of specific modules or functions of a connected instrument.
These messages include the Start, Stop, Pause/Continue and Clock commands. In the Prestige these messages are
transmitted when the sequencer is used, as follows:
START
: the sequencer has started to record or play back a MIDI sequence
STOP
: the sequencer has been stopped
PAUSE
/
CONTINUE
: the sequencer has been set in stop status
CLOCK
: the sequencer speed
The Real Time messages also include the Active Sensing code, sent to keep the dialogue between two MIDI instruments
alive. When the receiver instrument does not receive any MIDI data or the Active Sensing code in a time interval of
about 300 milliseconds, it considers the MIDI connection to have been deactivated, so it switches off any notes still
active. Remember that the transmission and reception of this message is optional, so not all instruments are equipped
to handle it.
