Channel messages used for such control are limited to those with channel numbers set by the MIDI channel assigned to the applicable part. Also note that Parts 17 through 32 only can receive channel messages. The Common Sub-block consists of a tone generator for tones that do not depend on in the sound source, an effector, a mixer, etc. The settings of these items can be changed by system exclusive messages or by channel messages with channel numbers set by the MIDI Global Channel. Accompaniment part send messages are sent when the MZ-2000 Accomp MIDI Out parameter is turned on. Send message channel numbers are in accordance with the MZ-2000 send (Tx) channel settings. The Performance Block generates messages for keyboard, wheel, pedal and other real-time controller operations, and for the sequencer, auto accompaniment, the control panel, etc. messages for each type of operation are sent both to the sound source and to the MIDI OUT terminal.

4.1.5 Parameter Set Bulk Dump
This section describes the bulk format for parameter set transfers. How parameter sets are actually allocated depends on the MZ-2000 sound source specifications. See sections 4.2 thorugh 4.11 for more information. Unlike the data format for individual parameter changes, a memory image is sent in order to increase the speed of the parameter set bulk dump. Pre- and post-processing required for each parameter is performed after bulk dump of all the data is complete. You can transfer multiple parameter sets during a session. When a single parameter set is very large, it can be divided and transferred as multiple packets. In such a case, and address offset is included as part of the data. Data Receiver Transferring multiple small-size parameter sets using a single packet is not allowed. Each parameter set must always be transferred as a separate packet. One-Way Communication Flow A session starts with a BDR request by the data receiver or a BDS data send by the data sender. The session ends after the data sender transfers the required amount of data for the number of parameter sets. When the MZ-2000 receives a BDR, it uses a BDS to return the corresponding parameter set. When the MZ-2000 receives a BDS, it modifies the setting of the applicable parameter set. Data is divided into packets of 256 bytes or less and transferred at fixed intervals (20 msec). Data Receiver BDR -> <- BDS Interval: 20 msec minimum <- BDS Interval: 20 msec minimum <- BDS Interval: 20 msec minimum : : Hand Shake Protocol A session starts with the data receiving sending an HDR request or an HDS data send from the data sender. tt The data sender does not send the next packet until it receives an acknowledgement (ACK) from the data receiver. Be sure to reserve at least 100msec as the maximum wait time. If no response is received within the prescribed time, a time out error occurs and communication is terminated. Parameter Set BDS/HDS If the data receiver returns an HDE (error) due to a checksum error, illegal data format, or any other reason, the data sender resends the data. Resend the data at least one time. The session ends after the data sender transfers the correct amount of data for the number of parameter sets, and is terminated when an ACK is returned.

The input signal is output as-is, but whenever theinput signal level drops below a certain value for a specific time the gate closes and output is muted. 1. Bypass Effector function enable/disable. Selecting bypass causes the input signal to be output as-is. 2. Threshold Noise gate operation threshold level. Output is muted when the input signal is at or below the level specified here. 3. Release Time the noise gate is closed when muting is performed. 1. Bypass Effector function enable/disable. Selecting bypass causes the input signal to be output as-is. 2. Attack Level of attack for the signal rise. Theoretically,it controls the time it takes from the point the input signal rises to a preset level until the compressor/limiter effect is applied. A late attack keeps the signal attack part from being compressed, which makes it possible to maintain the attack only. 3.

When the input signal is at or above a certain level, the input the output amplification factor is reduced, which suppresses the output signal peak. FXID_NOI = 0010H 1/1 DSP This effector lowers the volume when the input signal is at or above a specified level. This function can be employed to achieve either of the two objectives described below.
