This is the main status of the instrument, in this default GM2 mode, the gm-x is ready to
respond to any MIDI message over 16 MIDI channels adhering to the features and specifi -

standard MIDI fi les.

The default GM2 mode is designed to be connected to a PC playing standard MIDI fi les. In this way, all the
data contained in the MIDI fi les will properly control all of the gm-x track parameters. Should you wish, it’s
temporarily possible to edit the parameters contained in the EDIT menu.
Please note that incoming MIDI messages, such as Program Change or control change will change the modi-
fi ed parameters according to the data contained in the MIDI fi le.
It is not possible to store the edited data in the GM2 mode. These have to be properly changed in your MIDI fi le.
