Examples of Actual MIDI Messages
<Example1> 92 3E 5F
9n is the Note-on status, and n is the MIDI channel number. Since 2H = 2, 3EH = 62, and
5FH = 95, this is a Note-on message with MIDI CH = 3, note number 62 (note name is D4),
and Velocity 95.
<Example2> CE 49
CnH is the Program Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. Since EH = 14 and
49H = 73, this is a Program Change message with MIDI CH = 15, program number 74.
<Example3> EA 00 28
EnH is the Pitch Bend Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. The 2nd byte (00H
= 0) is the LSB and the 3rd byte (28H = 40) is the MSB, but Pitch Bend Value is a signed
number in which 40 00H (= 64 x 12+80 = 8192) is 0, so this Pitch Bend Value is
28 00H - 40 00H = 40 x 12+80 - (64 x 12+80) = 5120 - 8192 = -3072
If the Pitch Bend Sensitivity is set to 2 semitones, -8192 (00 00H) will cause the toonhoogte to
change -200 cents, so in this case -200 x (-3072) ÷ (-8192) = -75 cents of Pitch Bend is being
applied to MIDI channel 11.
<Example4> B3 64 00 65 00 06 0C 26 00 64 7F 65 7F
BnH is the Control Change status, and n is the MIDI channel number. For Control Changes,
the 2nd byte is the control number, and the 3rd byte is the value. In a case in which two or
more messages consecutive messages have the same status, MIDI has a provision called
‘running status’ which allows the status byte of the second and following messages to be
omitted. Thus, the above messages have the following meaning.
B3 64 00 MIDI ch.4, lower byte of RPN parameter number: 00H
(B3) 65 00 (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 00H
(B3) 06 0C (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of parameter value: 0CH
(B3) 26 00 (MIDI ch.4) lower byte of parameter value: 00H
(B3) 64 7F (MIDI ch.4) lower byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH
(B3) 65 7F (MIDI ch.4) upper byte of RPN parameter number: 7FH
In other words, the above messages specify a value of 0C 00H for RPN parameter number
00 00H on MIDI channel 4, and then set the RPN parameter number to 7F 7FH.
RPN parameter number 00 00H is Pitch Bend Sensitivity, and the MSB of the value indicates
semitone units, so a value of 0CH = 12 sets the maximum Pitch Bend range to +/-12
semitones (1 octave). (On GS sound generators the LSB of Pitch Bend Sensitivity is ignored,
but the LSB should be transmitted anyway (with a value of 0) so that operation will be
correct on any device.)
Once the parameter number has been specified for RPN or NRPN, all Data Entry messages
transmitted on that same channel will be valid, so after the desired value has been
transmitted, it is a good idea to set the parameter number to 7F 7FH to prevent accidents.
This is the reason for the (B3) 64 7F (B3) 65 7F at the end.
It is not desirable for Performance data (such as Standard MIDI File data) to contain many
events with running status as given in <Example 4>. This is because if playback is halted
during the song and then rewound or fast-forwarded, the sequencer may not be able to
transmit the correct status, and the sound generator will then misinterpret the data. Take
care to give each event its own status.
It is also necessary that the RPN or NRPN parameter number setting and the value setting
be done in the proper order. On some sequencers, events occurring in the same (or
consecutive) clock may be transmitted in an order different than the order in which they
were received. For this reason it is a good idea to slightly skew the time of each event (about
1 tick for TPQN = 96, and about 5 ticks for TPQN = 480).

Example of an Exclusive Message and
Calculating a Checksum
Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) are transmitted with a checksum at the end (before
F7) to make sure that the message was correctly received. The value of the checksum is
determined by the address and data (or size) of the transmitted Exclusive message.
How to calculate the checksum
(hexadecimal numbers are indicated by ‘H’)
The checksum is a value derived by adding the address, size, and checksum itself and
inverting the lower 7 bits.
Here’s an example of how the checksum is calculated. We will assume that in the Exclusive
message we are transmitting, the address is aabbccddH and the data or size is eeffH.
aa + bb + cc + dd + ee + ff = sum
sum ÷ 128 = quotient ... remainder
128 - remainder = checksum
<Example> Setting CHORUS TYPE of PERFORMANCE COMMON to
DELAY (DT1)
According to the Parameter Address Map (p. 222), the start address of Temporary
Performance is 10 00 00 00H, the offset address of CHORUS at PERFORMANCE COMMON
is 04 00H, and the address of CHORUS TYPE is 00 00H. Therefore the address of CHORUS
TYPE of PERFORMANCE COMMON is;
10 00 00 00H
04 00H
+) 00 00H
10 00 04 00H
DELAY has the value of 02H.
So the system exclusive message should be sent is;
F0 41 10 00 00 15 12 10 00 04 00 02 ?? F7
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address data checksum (6)
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland) (3) Device ID (17)
(4) Model ID (JUNO-G) (5) Command ID (DT1) (6) End of Exclusive
Then calculate the checksum.
10H + 00H + 04H + 00H + 02H = 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 2 = 22 (sum)
22 (sum) ÷ 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 22 (remainder)
checksum = 128 - 22 (remainder) = 106 = 6AH
This means that F0 41 10 00 00 15 12 10 00 04 00 02 6A F7 is the message should be sent.
