This parameter differs from the conventional Fine Tuning (RPN #1) parameter in that the amount of frequency alteration (in Hertz) will be identical no matter which note is played. When a multiple number of Parts, each of which has been given a different setting for PITCH OFFSET FINE, are sounded by means of an identical note number, you can obtain a Celeste effect. 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00-7F 00-7F 00-7F 00-7F PART LEVEL (= CC# 7) VELOCITY SENSE DEPTH VELOCITY SENSE OFFSET PART PANPOT 0-127 0-127 0-127 -64 (RANDOM), -63 (LEFT) , - +63 (RIGHT) (C-1)-(G9) (C-1)-(G9) 0-95 0-95 0-127 0-127 64 40 40 40 100 64 64 0 (CENTER) 40 1x 19 40 1x 1A 40 1x 1B 40 1x 1C 40 1x 1D 40 1x 1E 40 1x 1F 40 1x 20 40 1x 21 40 1x 22 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 01 00-7F 00-7F 00-5F 00-5F 00-7F 00-7F (= CC# 10, except RANDOM) KEY RANGE LOW KEY RANGE HIGH CC1 CONTROLLER NUMBER CC2 CONTROLLER NUMBER CHORUS SEND LEVEL (= CC# 93) REVERB SEND LEVEL (= CC# 91) Rx.
