Given that S2R does not have a keyboard, and that it is possible to use it without
connecting it to a master keyboard or other controlling device, the S
OUND

OUNDS
mode).
Press

General Midi (GM) is an addition to the standard Midi protocol which stipulates (a)
how the Sounds are organised in the Sound Libraries and (b) which percussion
sounds to use in the Drumkits. The GS standard also adds to the GM standard the
Program Changes required to select the Drumkits.
GM/GS instruments can communicate with one another by selecting similar sounds
with the same Program Change (for example, the PrCh 1 always corresponds to the
Grand Piano, PrCh 49 always corresponds to Strings...).
Briefly, the GM/GS compatibility standards are as follows:
• similar organisation of the Sound Libraries;
• compatible drumkits;
• drumkits assigned to M
IDI
channel 10 (generally track 10).
The Sound Library and the Drumkits of the S Series are organised according to
General Midi standards, with some minor variations. The Program Changes of the
Drumkits, on the other hand, are different and can be rendered compatible if the
“General Midi” parameter is set to “On”.

backed Ram by selecting “Memorise”.
