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
