SUBJECT

	Instrument Editor: MIDI message templates


SUMMARY

	This part of the documentation provides templates for use within this
section. A list of known MIDI message layouts for use with the Instrument
Editor.


DESCRIPTION

	Below are templates for use with stacking MIDI messaging in the MIDI
Instrument Editor, each part will show a description, the named MIDI message
components and a format layout, the format is presented as raw data with various
acronyms to indicate parameters. nP is a nibble parameter with a preset upper
nibble, hP is the high half of a fourteen bit parameter, lP is the low half of a
fourteen bit parameter and wP is a whole seven bit parameter. Some manuals
incorrectly specify some MIDI parameters as one greater than the value should
be, unfortunately only the audio effect will present whether there is a
discrepancy in the message transmitted. It is also worth noting that some values
are split fourteen bit values (like instrument banks), please consult your MIDI
device manual for reference tables and to see how to program these.
