I System Realtime Messages
❍ Active Sensing
Status
FEH
• When Active Sensing is received, the FR-7/FR-5 starts monitoring the intervals of
all further messages. While monitoring, if the interval between messages exceeds
420 ms, the same processing will be carried out as when All Sounds Off, All Notes
Off and Reset All Controllers are received, and message interval monitoring will
be halted.
❍ Start
Status
FAH
• When an FA message is received from an external MIDI device such as sequenc-
er, the FR-7/FR-5 sends all necessary MIDI information for a song header setup:
Treble, Orchestra, Bass/Free, Orchestra Bass, sound setup.

• The amount of data that can be received at one time depends on the type of data,
and data will be transmitted from the specified starting address and size.
• Data larger than 256 bytes must be divided into packets of 256 bytes or less, and
each packet must be sent at an interval of about 20ms.
