If the MIDI parameter “RhyMIDI ch” is set to “1–16,” note numbers/velocities
corresponding to the Rhythm pattern will be transmitted on the MIDI channel that is
specified for the Rhythm.
Status Second Third
9nH mmH llH
n = MIDI Channel No.: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
mm = Note No.: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
ll = Velocity: 01H - 7FH (1 - 127)
●Note Off
If the MIDI parameter “RhyMIDI ch” is set to “1–16,” note numbers corresponding to the
Rhythm pattern will be transmitted on the MIDI channel specified for the Rhythm.
Status Second Third
8nH mmH llH
n = MIDI Channel No.: 0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)
mm = Note No.: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
ll = Velocity: 40H (64)

■System Common Messages
●MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame Messages
If the Sync parameter “Sync Gen” is set to “MTC,” quarter frame messages of the time code
type specified by “MTC Type” will be transmitted when the BR-900CD is running
(recording or playing). The transmitted time counts are summed to “SMPTE (MTC) Offset
Time” as the song top is “00:00:00:00”.
