Editing the MIDI instruments
Although it is not possible to edit the notes in the
SMF, it is possible to edit the initial settings for the
tone generator.
1
Press the shifted
TG SELECT
(
GM EDIT
) key.
The numbers of parts which are playing are
shown in the outline font (parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 in
this illustration). Part numbers are initially set
to incoming MIDI channels.
2
Use the cursor keys to navigate to the field you
want to change, and the wheel to change the
values.
There are three screens in all. Use the left and right
keys to change between the screens (they don’t
“wrap round”).
The parameters you can edit are:
•
MUTE
: Muting
ON
or
OFF
(muting
ON
means the
instrument is off).
•
INSTRUMENT
: Select the instrument for this part from
the standard GM instrument list.
•
Ch
: The MIDI channel which will be used to play
this part.
•
KEY
: Sets transposition (from +63 to -64 semitones).
•
PAN
: Hard left is
L63
, center is
C
, hard right is
R63
.
•
VOLUME
: 0 is no output level, 127 is full volume.
The on-screen fader moves as you change this
value (there is no physical control corresponding to
this fader).
•
REVERB
: The send level of this part to the tone gen-
erator’s internal reverb effect.
•
CHORUS
: The send level of this part to the tone gen-
erator’s internal chorus effect.
NOTE
The reverb and chorus of the tone generator are not
connected with the other effects as described in
“Effects” on page 31, and all settings etc. are indepen-
dent of these “main” effects. It is not possible to use
these tone generator effects with any sound sources
other than the tone generator instruments.
In addition to the instrument settings, the last screen
of the
GM EDIT
series also allows you to pick the effect
to be assigned to the tone generator reverb and cho-
rus effects. Apart from the type of effect, no parame-
ters are available for editing the effect sounds:
NOTE
If you are playing back an SMF which includes any
changes to these parameters, or if an external Control
Change message is received to change any of them, the
settings you make here are overridden.
