Restoring the Factory Settings (Initialize)
Initializing for General MIDI/GS Format
Here we will also explain the Initialize procedure that you will use when you need
to initialize the SC-8850 to the basic General MIDI/GS settings.
At the beginning of General MIDI/GS music files, there is data that directs the sound
generator to initialize itself (GM1 System On, GM2 System On, or GS Reset p.152).
This means that when you play back music files from the beginning, initialization
takes place automatically, so there is no need for you to do it using the panel buttons.
