The address and size indicate the type and amount of data that is requested. When a Data Request message is received, if the device is in a state in which it is able to transmit data, and if the address and size are appropriate, the requested data is transmitted as a Data Set 1 (DT1) message. If the conditions are not met, nothing is transmitted.

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. 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 check sum is calculated. We will assume that in the Exclusive message we are transmitting, the address is aa bb cc ddH and the data or size is ee ffH. aa + bb + cc + dd + ee + ff = sum sum ÷ 128 = quotient . . . remainder 128 - remainder = checksum <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 (Flute in GS). <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 pitch to change -200 cents, so in this case -200 x (-3072) ÷ (-8192) = -75 cents of Pitch Bend is being applied to MIDI channel 11. <Example1> Setting Reverb Level to 100 (DT1) According to the "Parameter Address Map" (p. 6), the address of Reverb Level is 10 00 08 01H, and the hexadecimal expression of 100 is 64H. So the system exclusive message should be sent is; F0 (1) 41 (2) 10 (3) 00 00 04 (4) 12 (5) 10 00 08 01 address 64 data ?? [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
