User manual ROLAND VA-3 MIDI IMPLEMENTATION

[. . . ] VA-3 MIDI Implementation 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 functions 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.

[. . . ] This means that F0 41 10 42 12 40 01 33 0C 00 F7 is the message we transmit. s About the Tuning In MIDI, individual Parts are tuned by sending RPN #1 (Master Fine Tuning) to the appropriate MIDI channel. In MIDI, an entire device is tuned by either sending RPN #1 to all MIDI channels being used, or by sending a System Exclusive MASTER TUNE (address 40 00 00H). RPN #1 allows tuning to be specified in steps of approximately 0. 012 cents (to be precise, 100/8192 cent), and System Exclusive MASTER TUNE allows tuning in steps of 0. 1 cent. The values of RPN #1 (Master Fine Tuning) and System Exclusive MASTER TUNE are added together to determine the actual pitch sounded by each Part. [. . . ]
