1.2.9 Portamento
This message controls portamento pedal on/off.
When the pedal is pressed, a portamento effect will be applied.
Control# Parameter Data Range
65 Portamento 0...63,64...127
(OFF, ON)
For data of 0...63 the portamento pedal will be OFF (released), and for
64...127 it will be ON (pressed).
When this is ON, the pitch will change smoothly between notes. The time
over which the pitch changes is adjusted by Portamento Time (see 1.2.3).
Also, when the Multi Part parameter MONO/POLY MODE = MONO, the tone
will also change smoothly (legato) if Portamento = ON.
If any of the following Multi Part parameter settings apply, that part will not
receive Portamento.
• Rcv PORTAMENTO = OFF
• PART MODE = DRUM, DRUMS1...4
1.2.10 Sostenuto
This message controls sostenuto pedal on/off.
Notes which were already pressed when the pedal was pressed will be sus-
tained.
Control# Parameter Data Range
66 Sostenuto 0...63,64...127
(OFF, ON)
For data of 0...63, the sostenuto pedal will be OFF (released), and for
64...127 it will be ON (pressed).
If sostenuto is turned on while a note is sounding, that note will be sustained
until sostenuto is turned OFF.
If the Multi Part parameter Rcv SOSTENUTO = OFF, that part will not receive
Sostenuto.
1.2.11 Soft Pedal
This message controls soft pedal on/off.
The sound will become more mellow while the pedal is pressed.
Control# Parameter Data Range
67 Soft Pedal 0...63,64...127
(OFF, ON)
For data of 0...63, the soft pedal is OFF (released), and for 64...127 it is ON
(pressed).
If any of the following Multi Part parameter settings apply, that part will not
receive the Soft Pedal.
• Rcv SOFT PEDAL = OFF
• PART MODE = DRUM, DRUMS1...4
1.2.12 Harmonic Content
This message adjusts the resonance of the filter that is specified for the
sound.
The value of 0...127 is taken as -64...+63, and added as an offset value to
the original sound data to modify the resonance.
Control# Parameter Data Range
71 Harmonic Content 0...64...127
(-64...0...+63)
Since this is a relative change parameter, it specifies a boost or cut relative
to 64.
Higher values will produce a more distinctive sound.
For some sounds, the effective range may be less than the possible range
of settings.
1.2.13 Release Time
This message adjusts the EG release time that was specified by the sound
data.
The value of 0...127 is taken as -64...+63, and added to the original sound
data as an offset value to modify the release time.
Control# Parameter Data Range
72 Release Time 0...64...127
(-64...0...+63)
Since this is a relative change parameter, it specifies an increase or
decrease relative to 64.
Increasing this value will lengthen the release that follows a note-off.
1.2.14 Attack Time
This message adjusts the EG attack time that was specified by the sound
data.
The value of 0...127 is taken as -64...+63, and added to the original sound
data as an offset value to modify the attack time.
Control# Parameter Data Range
73 Attack Time 0...64...127
(-64...0...+63)
Since this is a relative change parameter, it specifies an increase or
decrease relative to 64.
Increasing this value will make the attack more gradual, and decreasing this
value will make the attack sharper.
1.2.15 Brightness
This message adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter specified by
the sound data.
The value of 0...127 is taken as -64...+63, and added to the original sound
data as an offset value to modify the cutoff frequency.
Control# Parameter Data Range
74 Brightness 0...64...127
(-64...0...+63)
Since this is a relative change parameter, it specifies an increase or
decrease relative to 64.
Lower values will produce a more mellow sound.
For some sounds, the effective range may be less than the possible range
of settings.
1.2.16 Portamento Control
This message specifies the portamento source key number (the key number
at which portamento will begin).
Data of 0...127 specifies the portamento source key.
When Portamento Control is received, the currently-sounding pitch will
change at a Portamento Time of 0 to the key of the next-received note-on of
the same channel.
Control# Parameter Data Range
84 Portamento Control 0...127
(C-2...G8)
This is received even if Rcv PORTAMENTO = OFF.
1.2.17 Effect1 Depth (Reverb Send Level)
This message specifies the send level for the reverb effect.
Control# Parameter Data Range
91 Effect1 Depth 0...127
Increasing this value will produce a richer reverb. The effect of the value will
depend on the state of the reverb effect.
1.2.18 Effect3 Depth (Chorus Send Level)
This message specifies the send level for the chorus effect.
Control# Parameter Data Range
93 Effect3 Depth 0...127
Raising this value will increase the modulation or spaciousness. The effect of
the value will depend on the state of the chorus effect.
1.2.19 Effect4 Depth (Variation Effect Send Level)
This message specifies the send level for the variation effect.
Control# Parameter Data Range
94 Effect4 Depth 0...127
However, this is not received if the Variation Effect parameter Variation
Connection = 0 (Insertion).
