A-37 MIDI Implementation

1 – RECEIVE DATA

All recognized MIDI messages from MIDI-IN are retransmitted on MIDI-OUT-A, with no effect on internal

A-37 performance, except for the A-37 Patch SYS-EX messages that are used to modify the A-37 parameter

area.

Refer to “System exclusive message” description.

F7H EOX (End of System Exclusive message)

Each A-37 Patch is composed of 49 bytes. When these bytes are transmitted by SYS EX, they are divided in

eight byte groups.

The first data byte of each group contains the status of the BIT7 contained in each one of the next seven

bytes.

3 – A-37 Patch address

gBulk Dump

You can send or receive bulk data which contains a large amount of parameter data by using Bulk Dump

communication.

It is used for storing bulk data in a sequencer or a computer.

The address for each A-37 patch is as follows:

Patch Number 1st address byte 2nd address byte 3rd address byte

PATCH-001--------> 01H 00H 00H

PATCH-002--------> 01H 01H 00H
