Channel Mode Messages.
This the same code as the Control Change (above), but
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
Reset All Controllers.
When Reset All Controllers is received, all controller
values are reset to their default values.
c = 121, v = x: Value must only be zero unless
otherwise allowed in a specific Recommended Practice.
Local Control.
When Local Control is Off, all devices on a given
channel will respond only to data received over MIDI.
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
