Someone more familiar with the inner workings of MIDI might be able to answer this better, but the definitiion I have is 'Non Recognized Parameter Number' or a control that manufacturers are free to assign device specific functions to.
Korg's 'About MIDI' appendix says:
"To edit, first use NRPN (LSB) [Bn, 62, rr] and NRPN (MSB) [Bn, 63, mm] (control change #98 and 99) (rr, mm: lower and upper bytes of parameter number) to select the parameter. Then transmit Data Entry (MSB) [Bn, 06, mm] and Data Entry (LSB) [Bn, 26, vv] (control change #06 and 38) (mm, vv: upper and lower bytes of value, together expressing 16,384 step) to set the value."
It goes on to say that my device (don't laugh, a Korg EA-1) uses only the most significant bit.
Gracias, Danke, Thanx. james
BTW: Anyone ever have their soundcard undergo an unassisted DC adjustment? Mine (again, don't laugh... a Diamond MonsterSound) is now only sampling half of the waveform on the left channel (the top half... i think the bottom is somewhere down there) while the right is recording a constant calue of about .8 on the 1 to -1 scale (Both record at about .8 if i record a silent channel). Wave mutilation even happens in Pd if i simply have an adc~ connected to my dac~, Oddly enough playthough is fine, and soundfiles play.
