Use of bank select MSB and LSB when the Sound
Module mode is set to “XG” or “PFM”
When the Sound Module mode is set to “XG” or “PFM,” the Voices are
divided into large groups, selectable by the bank select MSB values shown
below.
Bank select MSB = 0 — XG Voices
These are the Voices conforming to the GM System Level 1 standard and its
expanded set of Voices. They can be played back to common effect for all
XG-compatible tone generators.
Bank select MSB = 48 — MU100 Exclusive Voices
Only the MU100 and MU128 contain these Voices. The order of the Voices
by program number assignments does not conform to the GM standard.
NOTE
Banks having an MSB value of 48 are used for original tone generator Voices which
do not conform to the GM standard in the XG Voice map. When playing back song
data using any of these Voices on an XG-compatible tone generator other than the
MU128 (or the MU100/100R), the Part using one of these Voices will not sound.
Bank select MSB = 64 — SFX Voices
These are sound effect Voices. They are included in the Normal Voices and
can be played back in pitch.
Bank select MSB = 126 — SFX Kits
These are also sound effects. They are included in the Drum Voices. A
different sound is assigned to each note number.
These are not available when the Sound Module mode is set to “PFM.”
Bank select MSB = 127 — Drum Kits
These are Drum Kits, and are not available when the Sound Module mode is
set to “PFM.”
When Sound Module mode is set to “XG” or “PFM”
