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 manufacturer. 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
version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone
generation format. Naturally, you can play
back any XG song data using an XGlite tone
generator. However, 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 con-
necting a computer with peripheral
devices. It allows “hot swapping” (con-
necting peripheral devices while the
power to the computer is on).
Style File Format (SFF)
The Style File Format combines all of
Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-
how into a single unified format.
Touch Response
The exceptionally natural Touch
Response feature gives you maximum
expressive control over the level of the
Voices.
