40 MODEL D MODEL D System Exclusive Commands Some parameters in the MODEL D synthesizer can be changed using MIDI system exclusive (SysEx) commands. A MIDI utility such as the popular MIDI OX can be used to send the SysEx command data string to the MODEL D using the USB MIDI conection between a host computer and the MODEL D. SysEx Data Format The following data format is used when creating a SysEx message (with the data beginning with F0 and ending with F7). F0 00 20 32 aa bb cc dd ee ff F7 The various items in this SysEx data string are described below: Item 00 20 32 aa bb cc dd ee ff Description Manufacturer SysEx ID number (Behringer GmbH) Reserved Device ID: 00-0xF (must match hardware device ID), or 7F to address all devices. Note: This is the same as the Poly Chain ID. It is not the MIDI Channel Main parameter number (see Command Table below) Sub parameter number (see Command Table below) Parameter value MSB (will be zero unless the parameter value is greater than 127) Parameter value LSB (Range is 0 to 127) (see Command Table below) Command Table cc (Main) dd Description (Sub) ff (Para Range) 00 MIDI Channel 0 to 15 01 Key Priority 0-LOW (In poly chain mode, 1-HIGH note priority will be 2-LAST restricted to 'LOW') 02 Multi Trigger 0-OFF 1-ON (1.05 style) 2-ON (1.06 style) 03 Pitch Bend 0 to 12 semitones (Pitch wheel range) Effective when pitch bend range not fixed. See "OC Pitch bend mode" below Default 0 0- LOW 0- OFF 12 0xA Global Setting 06 MIDI IN Transpose 0 to 24 12 The range is -12 to + 12, so 12 is no transpose 07 MIDI Note Zero Volts 0 to 127 36 08 Poly Chain* see note below 0-OFF, 1-ON 0- OFF 09 Device ID 0-15 0 (Poly Chain ID) 0A Enable/Disable MIDI 0- Enable 0-Enable Channel Switches 1- Disable 0B Modulation Curve 0- Soft 1- Med 2- Hard 0- Soft OC Pitch Bend Mode 0- PitchBend 0- Fixed Range Fixed 1- PitchBend Range Settable OD Poly Chain Style 0- New Style 0- New 1- Old Style Style 0xB Restore Global Settings 0xE Start User Pitch CV Calibration 0xF Restore Default CV Calibration Quick Start Guide 41 *Note: If you use SysEx instead of the recommended A-440 method to turn on the Poly Chain, then the Poly Chain Device ID of other units in the chain is not set automatically. You have to use SysEx to set the Poly Chain ID of the first MODEL D to Device ID=0, the second MODEL D to ID=1, the third MODEL D to ID=3 and so on. All MODEL D units must have the same MIDI channel.
