the Mod wheel controlling the filter cutoff. Very ethereal effect.

reverb.
B11) 6-String - Nylon string guitar sound with heavy plucking sound. With echo.
B12) E-Gtr-Mute - Muted guitar with short echo. Velocity controls volume.
B13) Brass Sect - A thick brass section good for that big band sound.

MIDIEX version 1.8
Updated by Mike W. Smith, 12/5/89
MIDIEX is a simple utility to transmit and receive raw System Exclusive
data between your computer and your synthesizer. MIDIEX cannot send a
"Request SYSEX" message to your synthesizer, so all received data dumps
must be initiated by the synthesizer. MIDIEX requires that a Roland
MPU-401 or equivalent interface installed in your computer to be able to
send and receive the data. This version of MIDIEX allows you to set the
IRQ level the MPU uses, set the base address of the MPU card, and set the
receive buffer size.
To set the parameters, use:
MIDIEX /B:nnnn /I:n /A:nnn
where,
/B:nnnn is the size of the receive buffer in bytes,
/I:n is the IRQ level of the MPU, and
/A:nnn is the base address for the MPU's I/O ports,
(for hexidecimal numbering, precede the address
with a 0x)
The defaults are /I:2 /A:0x330 /B:1024.
To bring up help, use:
MIDIEX ?
