* Does not respond to Identity Request inquiry messages.
Decimal and Hexadecimal table
With a MIDI System, the data value, the address, or size in an exclusive message is
expressed in 7-bit hexadecimal values.The table below shows decimal value and their
hexadecimal counterparts.

*When expressing a MIDI channel number or a program change number, please notice
that the values are less by one. For example, MIDI channel is expressed as 0 through 15
instead of 1 through 16.
* The range of 7 bit can express 128 steps from 0 to 127. To express broader range, use
several data bytes.
