User manual ROLAND VE-GS PRO MIDI IMPLEMENTATION V1.00

[. . . ] VE-GS Pro MIDI Implementation MIDI Implementation The VE-GS Pro implements additional functionality and parameters over and above the SC-88, which itself was an expansion of the GS sound source format. These functions and parameters are marked by a [Pro] symbol. If MIDI messages marked by a [Pro] symbol are transmitted to another GS format sound source or to the SC-88, those messages may not be recognized. Also, functions and parameters which were added to the SC-88 over and above previous GS format sound sources are marked by an [88] symbol.

When you use EFX TYPE to select an Insertion Effect type, the various effect parameters will be set to appropriate values. * In MODE-2 (Double module mode), EFX SEND TO DELAY and EFX SEND EQ SWITCH cannot be used. * In the case of Mode 2 (Double Module Mode), the Insertion effect cannot be used for Parts with a CHANNEL MSG RX PORT (page 114) setting of PORT B. r Patch Part parameters The VE-GS Pro has 16 Parts in Group A and 16 Parts in Group B. Parameters that can be set individually for each Part are called Patch Part parameters. If you use exclusive messages to set Patch Part parameters, specify the address by Block number rather than Part Number (normally the same number as the MIDI channel). The Block number can be specified as one of 16 blocks, from 0(H) to F(H). To specify a Part of group A, use the Block number corresponding to the Part and specify an address of 40 ** ** via PORT A (normally MIDI IN A). To specify a Part of group B, use the Block number corresponding to the Part and specify an address of 40 ** ** via PORT B (normally MIDI IN B). To specify a Part of either group A or B from a single PORT, specify an address of 40 ** ** for group A Parts or an address of 50 ** ** for group B Parts when using PORT A. Conversely, to specify a Part of either group A or B from PORT B, specify an address of 50 ** ** for group A Parts or an address of 40 ** ** for group B Parts. In other words, when specifying Parts of the opposite side as the PORT being used, use addresses 50 ** **. The relation between Part number and Block number is as follows. x. . . BLOCK NUMBER (0 - F), Part 1 Part 2 : Part 9 Part10 Part11 Part12 : Part16 (default MIDIch = 1) (default MIDIch = 2) : (default MIDIch = 9) (default MIDIch =10) (default MIDIch =11) (default MIDIch =12) : (default MIDIch =16) x=1 x=2 : x=9 x=0 x=A x=B : x=F In the following map, the control numbers of the control changes are indicated as CC#.

By making the appropriate Scale Tune settings, you can obtain a complete variety of tuning methods other than equal temperament. As examples, three possible types of scale setting are explained below. r Equal Temperament This method of tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts. [. . . ]
