VA-3 MIDI Implementation

The VA-3 implements additional functionality and parameters over and above the

G-1000, which itself was an expansion of the GS sound generator format. These func-

tions and parameters are marked by a [VA-3] symbol. If MIDI messages marked by a

VA-3 symbol are transmitted to another GS format sound generator or to the G-1000,

those messages may not be recognized.

1. Receive data

■

Channel Voice Messages

●

Note off

• For Drum Parts, these messages are received when Rx.NOTE OFF = ON for each

Instrument.

• The velocity values of Note O messages are ignored.

●

Note on

• Not received when Rx.NOTE MESSAGE = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

• For Drum Parts, these messages are not received when Rx.NOTE ON = OFF for

each Instrument.

●

Polyphonic Key Pressure

• Not received when Rx.POLY PRESSURE (PAf) = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

• The resulting eect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial

settings, there will be no eect.

●

Control Change

• When Rx.CONTROL CHANGE = OFF, all control change messages except for

Channel Mode messages will be ignored.

• The value specied by a Control Change message will not be reset even by a Pro-

gram Change, etc.

❍

Bank Select (Controller number 0, 32)

• Not received when Rx.BANK SELECT = OFF.

• “Rx.BANK SELECT” is set to OFF by “GM1 System On,” and Bank Select messages

will be ignored.

• Rx.BANK SELECT is set to ON by “GM2 System On.”

• Rx.BANK SELECT is set to ON by power-on reset or by receiving “GS Reset.”

• When Rx.BANK SELECT LSB = OFF, Bank number LSB (llH) will be handled as 00H

regardless of the received value. However, when sending Bank Select messages,

you have to send both the MSB (mmH) and LSB (llH, the value should be 00H) to-

gether.

• Bank Select processing will be suspended until a Program Change message is re-

ceived.

• The GS format “Variation number” is the value of the Bank Select MSB (Controller

number 0) expressed in decimal.

• The VA-3 recognizes the Bank Select LSB (Controller number 32) as a ag for

switching between the VA-3 MAP, the G-1000 MAP, the G-800 MAP, and the SC-55

MAP. With a LSB of 01H, the SC-55 MAP and with a LSB of 02H, the G-800 MAP,

and with a LSB of 03H, the G-1000 MAP, and with a LSB of 04H, the VA-3 MAP will

be selected respectively.

• Some other GS devices do not recognize the Bank Select LSB (Controller number

32).

❍

Modulation (Controller number 1)

• Not received when Rx.MODULATION = OFF (Initial value is ON)

• The resulting eect is determined by System Exclusive messages. With the initial

settings, this is Pitch Modulation Depth.

❍

Portamento Time (Controller number 5)

• This adjusts the rate of pitch change when Portamento is ON or when using the Por-

tamento Control. A value of 0 results in the fastest change.

❍

Data Entry (Controller number 6, 38)

❍

Volume (Controller number 7)

• Volume messages are used to adjust the volume balance of each Part.

• Not received when Rx.VOLUME = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍

Pan (Controller number 10)

• The stereo position can be adjusted over 127 steps.

• For Rhythm Parts, this is a relative adjustment of each Instrument’s pan setting.

• Not received when Rx.PANPOT = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍

Expression (Controller number 11)

• This adjusts the volume of a Part. It can be used independently from Volume mes-

sages. Expression messages are used for musical expression within a performance;

e.g., expression pedal movements, crescendo and decrescendo.

• Not received when Rx.EXPRESSION = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍

Hold 1 (Controller number 64)

• Not received when Rx.HOLD1 = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍

Portamento (Controller number 65)

• Not received when Rx.PORTAMENTO = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍

Sostenuto (Controller number 66)

• Not received when Rx.SOSTENUTO = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍

Soft (Controller number 67)

• Not received when Rx.SOFT = OFF. (Initial value is ON)

❍

Filter Resonance (Timbre/Harmonic Intensity) (Controller number 71) [VA-3]
