Formats and functions

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI 

standard which ensures that any GM-compatible 

music data can be accurately played by any GM-

compatible tone generator, regardless of manufac-

turer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and 

hardware products that support GM System 

Level.

XGlite

As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified ver-

sion of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone genera-

tion format. Naturally, you can play back any XG 

song data using an XGlite tone generator. How-

ever, keep in mind that some songs may play back 

differently compared to the original data, due to 

the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial 

Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a 

computer with peripheral devices. It allows 

“hot swapping” (connecting peripheral 

devices while the power to the computer is 

on).
