2 (AWM2) tone generation system with the maximum 32-note polyphony.
Allows you to play and perfect the files compatible with General MIDI (GM) and XG format.

KARAOKE & EFFECTS

Features versatile DSP effects, 11 Reverb effects, 11 Chorus effects and 44 Variation effects. A/
D inputs allows you to mix external inputs with the internal voices and effects. The EffectGearII,
an Windows application, lets you use a variety of stunning effects, change the pitch of a song, or
reduce the volume of the main vocal from a song playing on a CD (for karaoke sing-along).
The EFFECTCON, a DOS application, lets you control the sounds for the GM compatible DOS
games.

£

You can NOT directly select and control the voices and effects from the SW60XG, since neither knob nor

button is furnished on top of the SW60XG.
However, you can select and control them by transmitting the System Exclusive Messages, such as XG System On*, to
the SW60XG. In this case you need an appropriate sequencing software which can configures and edits the System
Exclusive Messages.
As to the MIDI Data Format (including System Exclusive Messages), Normal and Drum Voice Lists, and Effect Type
List, please refer to the SW60XG Folder found in the included froppy disk.
