Modifying GM mode settings

GM mode also offers parameters that you can modify for

each Part. You can modify settings like effects, pan and level

to customize a GM score playback to your preference.

❶ With the Play display (GM) showing, press [F4]

(Part)–[F6] (Info) to select the display group you want.

❷ If you have selected Effects group or Info group, press

[F1]–[F6] to call up the display page you want.

❸ If you have pressed [F3] (Part) in step 1, press

TRACK/PART [1]–[16] to select the Part you want to

edit.

❹ Move the cursor to the parameter you want to modify.

❺ Use the VALUE dial, [INC]/[DEC] or numeric keys to

specify the value.

✳ If you’ve made a mistake in setting the parameter

value or you don’t like the changes, press [UNDO/

REDO] to restore the original value to what it was.

❻ Repeat steps 1–5 to complete GM mode settings.

❼ After you finish making settings, press [EXIT] to return

to the Play display (GM).

✳ You can also use the Palette display in the same man-

ner when you edit in Performance mode.

Setting a Part (Part)

Part Param (Part parameter) display

Patch Number (GM Patch number)

✳ To display the GM Patch list (GM Rhythm Set for Part

10), press [SOUND LIST].

✳ You cannot select Patches from Patch groups USER

and PRESET A–C.

Part Volume

Set the volume for each Part. This parameter is mainly used

to adjust volume balance between Parts.

Part Pan

Adjusts panning for each Part. L64 is hard left, 0 is center,

and 63R is hard right.

✳ If Part Volume parameter or Part Pan parameter set-

tings are modified, they will reflect in the Volume and

Pan items on the Part Information display.

Coarse Tune

Adjusts the reference pitch of each Part in semitone steps (-

4– +4 octaves). The pitch will change relative to the pitch of

the GM Patch (0).

Fine Tune

Makes fine adjustments over -50– +50 cents in 1-cent steps

(1/100th of a semitone) for the pitch specified in Coarse

Tune for the Part.

Making effects settings in GM mode

(Effects)

Parameter configurations of GM effects and Patch effects are

almost the same. For details refer to “Setting effects for a

Patch” (p.60).

✳ When making effects settings for a Performance, fol-

low the procedure in “Routing effects” and substitute

Part for Tone. (p.60)

...........................................................................................................

Most GM-compatible sound sources provide effects such as

chorus and reverb, but using effects is not a part of the GM

System Level 1 guidelines. This means that song data creat-

ed for the XP-80’s GM mode using EFX, Reverb and Chorus

may not play back correctly on other GM-compatible sound

sources.

...........................................................................................................

In this section only the parameters that differ from Patch

effects (General display) are discussed.

General (Effects general) display

Output Assign

Specifies how each Part will be output.

MIX: The direct sound will be output from the MIX OUT-

PUT. If Chorus and/or Reverb are selected, these effects will

be output together with the direct sound.

EFX: The direct sound will be sent to the EFX. The sound

that passes through the EFX will be output as specified by

the EFX OUTPUT Assign parameter.

DIR: Only the direct sound will be output from the DIRECT

OUT. If Chorus and/or Reverb are selected, these effects set-

tings will have no effect.

PAT: The direct sound will be output as specified by the

Output Assign parameter for the GM Patch assigned to the

Part. The Output Assign, Output Level, Chorus Send Level

and Reverb Send Level parameter settings will be multiplied

by the settings of GM Patch.
