About system exclusive messages
Manufacturers are free to use system exclusive messages in any
way they choose, and these messages are used mainly to transmit
and receive parameters that are specific to particular devices, such
as sound data and editing data.
The system exclusive message format of the ES-1mk
II
is [F0, 42,
3n, 57, ... F7] (n: exclusive channel).
However, some system exclusive messages have been defined for
use in a specific way, and these are called "universal system exclu-
sive messages."
Of the various types of universal system exclusive messages, the
ES-1mk
II
supports the following two types.
· When an Inquiry Message Request [F0, 7E, nn, 06, 01, F7] mes-
sage is received, the ES-1mk
II
will transmit an Inquiry Message
[F0, 7E, nn, 06, 02, (9 bytes), F7] that means “I am a Korg ES-
1mk
II
, and my system version is ...”
· When a Master Volume [F0, 7F, nn, 04, vv, vv, 01, F7] is received,
the volume of the entire system will be adjusted.
9. Transmitting sound settings
and other data (Data Dump)
Song, Pattern, and Global data can be transmitted as MIDI exclu-
sive data, and stored on an external device. This data is transmit-
ted and received on the MIDI channel selected in Global mode.
Data dumps will be transmitted when a Data Dump Request of
the corresponding type is received.
10. Editing sounds etc.
By sending MIDI exclusive data dumps, you can rewrite all pat-
terns or individual programs. By using NRPN messages in Pat-
tern mode, you can edit the knobs that are active for each part.
