implements Mode control and special message by using
reserved controller numbers 120-127.

• All Sound Off.

When All Sound Off is received all oscillators will turn
Off, and their volume envelopes are set to zero as soon
as possible.
c = 120, v = 0: All Sound Off

When Reset All Controllers is received, all controller
values are reset to their default values.

When Local Control is Off, all devices on a given

Played data, etc. will be ignored. Local Control On
restores the functions of the normal controllers.
c = 122, v = 0: Local Control Off
c = 122, v = 127: Local Control On
