LOGOS
1. GM system level 1
GM system level 1 is a world standard format about MIDI synthesizer which provides voice arrangements
and MIDI functions.
2. XG
XG is a format about MIDI synthesizer that is proposed by YAMAHA, and keeps the upper compatibility of
GM system level 1. The good points are the voice arrangements kept extensively, a large number of the
voices, modification of the voices, 3 kinds of effects, and so on.
3. SONDIUS-XG
Products bearing the SONDIUS-XG logo are licensed under patents of Stanford University and YAMAHA
Corporation as listed on <http://www.sondius-xg.com>. The SONDIUS-XG produces acoustic sound
outputs by running a virtual simulation of the actual acoustic instrument operation. Therefore, it provides
much more real-world acoustic sound outputs fundamentally different from the Wavetable sound generator
that simply processes the recorded acoustic sound sources only. The SONDIUS-XG adds the technology
of virtual acoustic sound to the XG format.
4. Sensaura
Sensaura is a technology which provides 3D positional audio and moving effect by HRTF (Head Related
Transfer Function) with 2 speakers or headphone. This feature makes it possible to enjoy invariable and
unchangeable sound feelings in all-positional area covering as wide as 360 degrees.
