The gm-x expander is a professional sound generator with a

an adequate stereo external speaker system in order to get the

The Gm-x expander can be connected to a PC in two different ways: using the MIDI or the USB (Universal Serial
Bus) interface. Using the MIDI the PC has to be equipped with a proper MIDI interface (see the note below), in
case of USB it's possible to use directly the PC USB built-in connection. In both case, MIDI or USB, the transfer
rate and the features of the protocol comply with the standard MIDI specifi cations, the only difference is the
connections type.

Normally a desktop PC offers MIDI connection from an installed audio card. The type of the connection is
dependant from the model of the audio card. In relation to this, please refer to the owners manual of your PC &
or audio card.
After successfully installing suitable player software in your PC, you will be able to play standard MIDI fi les.
