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 F7
The various items in this SysEx data string are
described below:
Item Description
00 20 32
Manufacturer
SysEx ID number
(Behringer GmbH)
aa Reserved
bb 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
cc Main parameter number (see Command
Table below)
dd Sub parameter number (see Command
Table below)
ee 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
*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 rst
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.
