GENERAL MIDI
Global standard configuration of 128 instrument voices and specified MIDI
channel assignments and other parameters. General MIDI lets you load and play
music data created by another sequencer and saved to disk in the Standard MIDI
File format.
ABOUT THE GM SYSTEM LEVEL 1
The General MIDI ( GM ) world standard protocol was developed by a consortium of musical
instrument hardware and software makers in order to minimize confusion and the need for reprogram-
ming when playing music software created by one device on another device. The W5/W7 supports the
GM System Level 1 , which is the current minimum MIDI configuration standard recognized by the
International MIDI Association.
GM permits performance and other data to be transferred between different instruments, even
instruments made by different manufacturers. For example, sequence data originally created to control
a specific tone generator can be used to control a different tone generator from another manufacturer
without reconfiguring MIDI channel and other assignments. Program change and other data transmit-
ted from the sequencer will select the correct voices and settings on the destination tone generator.
GM defines a standard voice allocation chart in which the same or similar voices are accessed by the
same program change numbers (001 ~ 128) and MIDI channels (1 ~ 16), and the same type of drum
sounds are assigned to specific keys, and controllers such as pitch bend range, octave registration,
expression, modulation, etc., are designated with specific controller numbers. (For more information
about GM sounds and mapping, see the
W5/W7 Technical Information
booklet, supplied separately.)
384 INSTRUMENT VOICES AND 10 DRUM KITS
384 preset normal voices plus 10 drum voices (or kits), including the 128
General MIDI voices and 8 kits, constructed from the hundreds of preset AWM
elements and the many on-board synthesizer parameters.
VOICE EDITING
Extensive synthesizer voice editing features give you unlimited sound creation
potential. A voice, which can be constructed from between 1 and 4 AWM ele-
ments, has hundreds of editable parameters.
LARGE INTERNAL VOICE AND SONG VOICE RAM
128 Internal or user normal voice memories and 2 Internal drum voice
memories, for storing your own instrument sounds and drum kits. There are also
16 banks of 128 Song voice memories and 16 banks of 2 Song drum voice
memories one Song voice bank per each song memory which are handy for
organizing voices and drums for specific songs or live performance setups and
storing them together with song multi data on floppy disks for quick and easy
access.
