1.) General Information
This document is prepared under great caution in a most precise manner.
Several experts took care in sorting and checking the available information
the best way possible.
However, we cannot guarantee that all information is absolutely correct,
nor can we guarantee that there won't be changes due to further software
enhancements.
All System Exclusive messages of the Wave have the following format :
Label Bytes Comment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYSX 1 Always 0xF0
WALDORF 1 Always 0x3E
WAVE ID 1 Always 0x03
DEVICE ID 1 According to global parameter (Device Number)
MESSAGE ID 1 Specifies message type
LOCATION nl Specifies location of Dump, Number of bytes nl
depends on MESSAGE ID
DATA n Number of data bytes n depending on MESSAGE ID
CHKSUM 1 sum of all bytes of LOCATION and DATA truncated to 7 bit
EOX 1 0xF7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dumps are only accepted if the DEVICE ID fits the global parameter
(Device Number) or is set to 127, which means all units.
If a checksum error is detected, the whole message will be ignored.
An unknown message will lead to no reaction, it will be ignored
completely.
In all dumps there may be unused data-bytes. Those data-bytes
represent reserved, but yet unused parameters and should be set
to zero.
If not indicated differently, a databyte consists of a regular
MIDI-databyte (0x00 - 0x7F).
Otherwise:
ASCII: A MIDI databyte in the range of 20h..7Fh.
BYTE : Two consecutive nibbles form an 8-bit byte.
The MS nibble is sent first.
WORD : Four consecutive nibbles form a 16-bit word.
The MS nibble is sent first.
No other data formats will be provided.
Within a single message data formats may be mixed.
2.) MESSAGE IDs
Detailed information:
The diference between dumps and requests is determined by a high
or low bit 6. This means: requests occupy IDM-numbers 00h to 3Fh,
while the corresponding dumps have IDM-numbers 40h to 7Fh.
As you can see, a dump always has the same IDM-number as it's
request, the difference being a high (set) bit 6.
The Wave accepts and sends the following Dump MESSAGE IDs :
Label Value Bytes nl Bytes n Description
LOCATION of DATA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SBPR 0x00 3 256 Soundprogram
SARR 0x01 2 512 Performance
SWAVE 0x02 4 128 Wave

SGLB 0x06 0 384 Global Parameters
SARRMAP 0x07 0 256 Performance Program Change Map
SBPRMAP 0x08 0 256 Sound Program Change Map
SBPRPAR 0x09 3 1 Sound Parameter
SARRPAR 0x0A 1 1 Performance Parameter
SINSPAR 0x0B 2 1 Instrument/External Parameter
SBULK 0x0F 0 1 Bulk Switch on/off
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Note ***
SARRPAR and SINSPAR Dumps cannot be sent by the Wave with the current
Operating System Version, nevertheless they are properly received.
*** Note ***
Although the Wave offers Bulk Dumps of Soundbanks, Performance banks
and Arrangements, there is no System Exclusive implementation for these
data types.
Instead of this, the Wave sends out a sequence of single Dumps :
Dump Sequence for Soundbank :
1. Bulk switch on SBULK
2. 128 consecutive Sound Dumps SBPR
3. Bulk switch off SBULK
Dump Sequence for Performance bank :
1. Bulk switch on SBULK
2. 128 consecutive Performance Dumps SARR
3. Bulk switch off SBULK
Dump Sequence for Wavetable :
1. Wave control table dump SWTBL
2. Wave Dumps for each needed userwave SWAVE
Rom waves 0-299 will not be sent.
Dump Sequence for Arrangement :
1. Performance Dump SARR
2. Sound Dumps for each needed Sound SBPR
*** Dump without tables stops here ***
3. Dumps of needed Velocity curves SVT
4. Dumps of needed Tuning tables STT
5. Dumps of needed Wavetables (see above) SWTBL
The Wave accepts and sends the following Request MESSAGE IDs :
