changed. It will be ignored if in song mode. The format is packed as 8 MIDI bytes per 7 data bytes as described in the MIDI bulk dump explanation. The data is identical to bytes 4 through 33H in the pattern data format. data 48 data bytes, transmitted as 55 MIDI bytes F7H EOX 09H MIDI COMMUNICATIONS TEST This command is used to insure that bi-directional MIDI communication is functioning. If an HR-16 receives the inquiry command (F0H, 00H, 00H, 0EH, 01H, 09H, 00H, F7H), it will respond with the response command (F0H, 00H, 00H, 0EH, 01H, 09H, 01H, F7H) only if MIDI ECHO is turned off.
If MIDI ECHO is on, the transmitting device will see the inquiry message returned to it if bi-directional communication is functioning. This function is useful in determining that the HR-16 is ready to receive additional MIDI information. For example, selecting a pattern, or copying a pattern can cause a delay in which the HR-16 will ignore incoming MIDI information if its input buffer overflows. By sending this command after a copy pattern command (command 5), and then waiting for the response before sending any additional commands, it can be insured that the HR-16 will not miss any information.
