With MIDI CC 21, you just send the required data value for the specific command on MIDI CC 21. It's not an NRPN or RPN type CC.

So you just send data on MIDI CC 21 and set the value according to the list of commands.

0=Start sequencer.
1=Stop sequencer.
2=Enter sequencer edit mode.
3=Sequencer edit step forward.
4=Sequencer edit step back.
5=Exit Sequencer edit mode.
6=Lock current sequence to disable editing.
7=Unlock current sequence to allow editing.
8=Mute local sequencer.
9=Un mute local sequencer.

So, the message (in hex) would be:

"Bx 15 yy" - where B means MIDI control change, x is the MIDI channel (0 to F corresponds to MIDI channels 1 thru 16), 15 is hex equivalent of 21 and yy is the desired command data value.

Mike,
I'm confused as on the Midi Implementation Chart many of the numbers duplicate those on the Parameter CC list. So I try CC21 for the sequencer and it comes up CC36 on the synth (which is Mk2 Effects Mod Freq - I have a Mk1).
Surely I'm doing something wrong here?

Alas I've found no way to do this, I guess it's via a sysex message, but so far all sysex messages I've tried have not registered on the synth.
