high nibble is transmitted first;
i.e. HHHHLLLL sent as 0000HHHH 0000LLLL
NIBBLE LO/HI: 8 bits are sent as two (2) 4 bit nibbles, the
low nibble is transmitted first;
i.e. HHHHLLLL sent as 0000LLLL 0000HHHH
KORG M1: Format used by the Korg M1, M3R, T1, T2 and T3.
Seven 8 bit bytes are sent as eight bytes. The
1st bit of each of the seven bytes are stripped
to make the eighth byte, and that new byte is
sent first;
i.e. FXXXXXXX FXXXXXXX FXXXXXXX FXXXXXXX
FXXXXXXX FXXXXXXX FXXXXXXX
is sent as
0FFFFFFF 0XXXXXXX 0XXXXXXX 0XXXXXXX
0XXXXXXX 0XXXXXXX 0XXXXXXX 0XXXXXXX
8-BIT -> 7-BIT: A string of consecutive bits is sent in 7-bit
chunks.
