Songbook Midi Messages

[Jonk]

I am building a foot controller to control Korg Styles while playing Guitar
I am using an Ardiino and it works well. My question is does a PA600 send out Midi Songbook commands when a song is loaded. I would like for my tablet which is running MobileSheetsPro to load song through the USB midi port, then hopefully read information about the song through the korg's midi out port.

Documentation on this is scarce.

regards.

If you are able to build a foot controller and use Arduino for MIDI control I am surprised that you have problems with the Pa600 manual.

I would rather have problems writing suitable sketches for Arduino - I would be happy if you would share them with me (if that's possible, I'll send you my mail address by PM) .

For your purposes you can find all informations about Midi message that Pa-Keyboards will send on a Midi Out channel assigned to "Control" when a songbook entry is selected, respectively what kind of Midi message (NRPN) Pa-Keyboard need to receive via Midi In control channel for remotely selecting songbook entries.

Manual Pa600:
p 248 - chapter MIDI In Channels - Control: On this special channel, the Pa600 receives MIDI messages to remotely select Styles, Performances,
STS, Style Elements and SongBook Entries. See tables on page 405 and following for more information on the received data.
p 248 - chapter MIDI Out Channels - Control: On this special channel, the Pa600 sends messages corresponding to the selected SongBook Entry.
p 273 - chapter Selecting SongBook Entries via MIDI (initialize CC#99+98 --> NRPN MSB = 2, NRPN LSB = 64, DataEntry MSB = th [thousands, hundreds], DataEntry LSB = xy [tens, units]). Example to select entry 3964 send following Midi-Message: NRPN MSB = 2 + NRPN LSB = 64 + DataEntry MSB = 39 + DataEntry LSB = 64
