MIDI Sysex information for the Verselab MV-1

Here is some information about some useful MIDI Sysex codes for the Roland Verselab MV-1. It's an ongoing work and I'll add more code when I decode them

You'll find this information useful if you're using your Verselab for Live performances, as Sysex MIDI will allow you to control more things on the MV-1.

All Roland Verselab MV-1 SYSex begin with: F0 41 10 00 00 00 6F 12 aa aa aa aa

aa aa aa aa, are four hex numbers that are the 'address' of the parameter to change. After that you have more data, a checksum byte, and F7 to end the MIDI sysex.

Conventions used, for number with a border xx:

  • tr = 07 + track number in hexadecimal (08 for Kick, 09 for Hats, etc)
  • mu = 00 for mute (or Off), 01 for unmute (or On)
  • cs = Roland data checksum, seems to be ignored, can be 00
  • v1 v2 = value from 00 00 (0) to 0f 0f (255), 8 bits are split over 2 bytes, the 1st nibble is always 0

Below I won't repeat the first 8 bytes sequence!

Tracks: mute/pan/volume/etc

  • Mute/Unmute Track tr: 10 00 tr 0D mu cs F7
  • Volume of Track tr: 10 00 tr 31 v1 cs F7
  • Pan of Track tr: 10 00 tr 32 v1 v2 cs F7
  • Reverb of Track tr: 10 00 tr 34 v1 v2 cs F7
  • Delay of Track tr: 10 00 tr 36 v1 v2 cs F7

Example:

  • Mute Track 1: F0 41 10 00 00 00 6F 12 10 00 08 0D 00 5B F7
  • Unmute Track 1: F0 41 10 00 00 00 6F 12 10 00 08 0D 01 5A F7

Global MFX

  • MFX ON: 10 00 18 01 01 56 F7
  • MFX OFF: 10 00 18 01 00 57 F7

Multi-mode filter tone in Global MFX

  • 10 00 18 14 08 00 v1 v2 cs F7

Value from 0 to 255 in 2 bytes (see above).

Mid/Side Delay mix in Global MFX

  • Mid: 10 00 18 10 08 00 v1 v2 cs F7
  • Side: 10 00 18 3C 08 00 v1 v2 cs F7

Filter value from 00 00 (0) to 07 0f (127)

Note: my MVAVE MS1 seems to be limited to 16 bytes for Sysex over Bluetooth!!

Change the multimode filter type

  • mode 0: 10 00 18 10 08 00 00 00 cs F7
  • mode 1: 10 00 18 10 08 00 00 01 cs F7
  • mode 2: 10 00 18 10 08 00 00 02 cs F7

Change the MFX type from type 7 to 6

Need more info here:

  • 10 00 18 00 06 cs F7

Dawless sysex send

If you don't have a DAW and/or PC, you can use the following solutions:

  • An Android device, with "MIDI commander" from Bordero, plus a USB MIDI cable, or a 'MVAVE MS1' to send the codes via Bluetooth MIDI.
  • Custom Arduino or Raspberry code
