6.2 MIDI Specifications

This paragraph describes the specifications on the MIDI Implementation Chart

in more details.

Default basic channels (transmitted/recognized)

1: Great

2: Swell

3: Pedal

12: Registers

Basic channel changes (transmitted)

Can be programmed through the MIDI Config. See § 4.9.8.

Control changes (transmitted)

Controller 7 (07h) General volume, with volume values 40 (28h) - 127 (7Fh).

Controller 11 (0Bh) Espression pedal, with volume values 55 (37h) - 127 (7Fh).

Controller 6 (06h) Pitch, with pitch values 28 (1Ch) - 99 (63h).

Pitch value 64 (40h) = A = 440Hz.

The following applies to the pitch:

LSB 100 (64h) 1 (01h) and the MSB 101 (65h) 0(00h).

Transposer, with transposer values 56 (38h) - 72 (48h).

Transposer value 64 (40h) = a = 440Hz.

The following applies to the transposer:

LSB 100 (64h) 2 (02H) and the MSB 101 (65h) 0(00h).

Control changes (recognized)

Controller 7 (07h) General volume, with volume values 0 (00h) - 127 (7Fh).

Volume values less than 40 (28h) are treated as 40 (28h).

Controller 11 (0Bh) Expression Pedal, with volume values 0 (00h) - 127 (7Fh).

Volume values less than 55 (37h) are treated as 55 (37h).

Program changes (transmitted/recognized)

Instrument registers: Depends on the number of stops and the sequence of registers.

MIDI registers (programmable): 1-128. See § 4.9.8.

System exclusive messages (transmitted/recognized)

Each ‘sys ex’ (system exclusive) message largely looks the same. The first 7 bytes

and the last byte are always the same. Only the value of the 8th byte varies. This

is the ‘sys ex message’ that is generally used: F0 00 4A 4F 48 41 53 XX F7

(hexadecimal). The ‘sys ex messages’ described below only indicates the value of

the 8th byte (XX) and the output from which it is transmitted.

All Registers off

The ‘all registers off’ sys ex code is 7F. This sys ex code is transmitted through the

MIDI SEQ. output when the 0 button is pressed for a longer time. When an ‘all

registers off’ sys ex code is received, all registers on the instrument are switched off.
