Section 12 — General MIDI

What is General MIDI?

General MIDI Logo

General MIDI (GM) is an industry standard for program mapping that defines 128 sounds and their locations. This means that if a device conforms to the GM standard, MIDI Program Change #1 will always call up an acoustic piano, MIDI Program Change #62 will always call up a brass section, etc. Although the actual sounds (tone and quality) will vary from product to product, each specific MIDI Program number will always call up the same type of sound.

Sound Map

The General MIDI Sound Map (found later in this section) lists the 128 General MIDI sounds in the TS‑10 ROM and their assigned General MIDI Program Change numbers.

Percussion

General MIDI also includes a Percussion Key Map, defining specific drum voices for each key. To avoid confusion, General MIDI always assigns percussion to MIDI channel 10. The General MIDI Percussion Key Map can be found after the General MIDI Sound Map.

GS/MT-32 Compatibility

GS is an extended MIDI sound specification originated by Roland® Corp. Although we provide the GS Drum Maps (listed later) and MT-32 Program Change Map for Roland Sound Canvas™ compatibility, the TS‑10 is not GS compatible and does not contain the GS Alternate Sound Banks.

Other General MIDI Requirements

A General MIDI sound module must respond to all 16 MIDI channels, with dynamic voice allocation, and a minimum of 24 voices. It also must respond to velocity, pitch bend, mod wheel, volume and pan, expression, sustain, and the All Notes Off and Reset All Controllers messages.

With these controllers supported, a composition that relies on note articulations and mix settings can be played back and still sound correct when played by any GM sound module. The TS‑10 supports all of the above MIDI messages, and fully conforms to the General MIDI Specification.

Why use General MIDI?

While the TS‑10 instruments are a superb sound source, with greater fidelity and more programmability than most GM modules, there are interesting applications for General MIDI that can enhance your music making.

General MIDI Sound Map

The following map shows the General MIDI sound name and program change number of each sound as they appear in the TS‑10. This map also shows how General MIDI divides the instruments into 16 categories of similar sounds:

Using General MIDI in the Real World

General MIDI Connection Setup

Using TS‑10 General MIDI Sounds with an External GM Sequencer

Connecting the TS‑10 keyboard to a computer (or other General MIDI sequencer)

  1. Power down all electronic devices before making any connections.
  2. Using a MIDI Cable, connect the MIDI In jack of the TS‑10 to the MIDI Out jack of the computer/hardware sequencer/sequence player.
  3. Make sure the proper amplification is connected to the TS‑10, and power on the computer, the TS‑10 keyboard, and the amplification system (in that order).

To Enable General MIDI on the TS‑10

  1. Press the MIDI Control button. The display shows:
    2. VFD: MIDI | BASE-CHAN=01 | GMIDI=OFF | SEND=TRACK / · | MODE=MULTI | VELS/XPOS=BOTH | XCTRL=002
  2. On the first MIDI Control sub-page, press the upper middle soft button on the display to select the GMIDI parameter (it should be underlined).
  3. Press the Up Arrow button to enter General MIDI Mode.

    If the sequencer is running, the SEQUENCER MUST BE STOPPED message will be displayed. If the sequencer is stopped, the SAVE CHANGES? prompt will be displayed (if necessary). Otherwise, the following prompt will be displayed:

    VFD: ENTER GENERAL MIDI MODE ? | · | *YES* / · | · | *NO*

    4. Pressing the soft button beneath *NO* will leave the TS‑10 system unchanged, returning you to the first MIDI Control sub-page.

    5. Pressing the soft button above *YES* will enable General MIDI Mode. All LEDs will be off and all buttons (except the Arrow buttons and the soft buttons) will be disabled. The TS‑10 will display the General MIDI Mode page as follows:

    VFD: General MIDI Mode | RECV=ON | *EXIT* / GM-CHAN=01 | GM-PROG=001 | GM-PROGNAME

    The TS‑10 behaves as though an enlarged 16-track sequence has been selected, and as though the current MIDI Mode is MULTI. Incoming MIDI will be received on all 16 MIDI channels, to 16 discrete inbound Track/Channels. The default effect algorithm (46 CHORUS + REVERB 2) will be installed, and all Tracks/Channels will be routed through the effect.

    When you now run the external computer or hardware sequencer, you will hear the proper sounds played from the TS‑10 as program changes and note/controller data is transmitted to the TS‑10 via the MIDI In jack.

    MIDI Out in General MIDI Mode

    The TS‑10 keyboard will always play the sound assigned to the currently displayed Track/Channel number. Local playing on the TS‑10 keyboard and controllers will be transmitted via the MIDI Out jack on the displayed MIDI Channel number. This allows you to connect the TS‑10 MIDI Out jack to a MIDI sequencer, hardware sequencer, or other MIDI device.

    This feature adds MIDI Controller capability to the TS‑10 while in General MIDI Mode.

    TS‑10 General MIDI Parameters

    RECV (MIDI Reception)Range: ON or OFF

    This parameter is set to receive MIDI data by default (RECV=ON). By changing the RECV value for each MIDI channel, you can define how many Track/Channels you want to receive data via MIDI.

    Setting RECV=OFF will disable reception of MIDI notes, controllers and program changes on the displayed MIDI channel. Sounds can still be played from the keyboard, and live playing will still transmit via MIDI on the displayed MIDI channel.

    When RECV=OFF, the Track/Channel volume will be set to full on (127), so that your live playing can use the full dynamic range. Resetting RECV to ON will reset the Track/Channel volume back to the General MIDI default value of 100.

    No matter what the setting of this parameter, a CVP-1 Pedal connected to the Pedal•CV Jack will always control the volume of the selected Track/Channel.

    GM-CHANRange: 01 to 16

    This parameter is used to select and view the sounds assigned to each MIDI Channel. When this parameter is selected, the Data Entry Controls will scroll through all 16 Track/Channels.

    GM-CHAN=10 is permanently assigned to play Drum Maps only. When Track/Channel 10 is selected, the GM-PROG parameter will scroll through the nine available GM/GS Drum Maps.

    Playing on the TS‑10 keyboard will always be transmitted on the displayed MIDI channel. If the GM-CHAN value is changed while a note is held down, local voices will be silenced on the previously selected Track/Channel.

    GM-PROGRange: 001 to 128

    The GM-PROG (General MIDI Program number) parameter determines which sound will be assigned to each MIDI Channel. When this parameter is selected, the Data Entry Controls will change which of the 128 General MIDI ROM Sounds is assigned to the currently displayed Track/Channel. The corresponding Program Change message will be transmitted via MIDI whenever this parameter is edited.

    Program Changes received on MIDI channels 1-9 and 11-16 will assign programs to the 16 Track/Channels from the 128 General MIDI sounds in ROM. MIDI Channel 10 can only access the nine GM/GS Drum Maps, and will receive the corresponding GS Drum Map Program change value (1=STANDRD-KIT, 9=ROOM-KIT, 17=POWER-KIT, 25=ELCTRNC-KIT, 26=TR-808-KIT, 33=JAZZ-KIT, 41=BRUSH-KIT, 49=ORCH-PERCSN, 128=MT-32-KIT).

    The TS‑10 keyboard will always play the sound assigned to the displayed Track/Channel number.

    Manually Assigning GM Sounds to Each MIDI Channel
    1. Press the soft button beneath the GM-PROG parameter.
    2. Use the Data Entry Controls to scroll through the different GM Sounds.

    The General MIDI Sound names change when you use the Data Entry Controls. These sound names and their associated GM Program numbers are listed on the General MIDI Sound Map found earlier in this section.

    General MIDI “Panic” Button

    Some remote MIDI Devices may leave notes and controller values “dangling,” causing Track/Channels to function improperly. The TS‑10 has a solution to this problem — the MIDI “Panic” button. Pressing the upper left soft button above GENERAL MIDI MODE will invoke the GM-PANIC RESET function:

    VFD: GM-PANIC RESET / ·
    “GM-PANIC RESET” will be momentarily displayed. All TS‑10 and MIDI voices on all 16 Track/Channels will be silenced. The following MIDI messages will be transmitted on all 16 MIDI Channels: All Notes Off, Reset All Controllers, key-ups for all keys down, sustain and sostenuto pedal ups, and controllers will be normalized to the General MIDI default values. Program Changes will be transmitted corresponding to the sounds assigned to each of the 16 Track/Channels.

    System and MIDI Control Settings in GM Mode The following System and MIDI Control page parameter settings are installed in General MIDI Mode (see Sections 2 and 3 for information about these parameters). All other parameters are reset to values appropriate for General MIDI reception:

    • System page TUNE and PITCH-TABLE settings are retained.
    • System page TOUCH and VEL-MAX settings are retained.
    • System page PEDAL is set to VOL.
    • System page FOOT-SW1-R and SW2-R are set to SUSTAIN.
    • System page FOOT-SW1-L and SW2-L are set to SOSTENUTO if they were previously set to any value other than *UNUSED*. If they were set to *UNUSED*, they will remain *UNUSED*.
    • MIDI Control page SYS-EX setting is set to ON.

    Exiting General MIDI Mode will restore your original settings.

    Disabling General MIDI

    To Disable General MIDI

    • Press the soft button above *EXIT* to exit General MIDI Mode.

    The TS‑10 will momentarily show:

    VFD: GM-TRACKS RESET / ·

    The TS‑10 will then return to its previous state. The General MIDI Track/Channel sound assignments will be preserved in static RAM, even after power-off.

    Enabling/Disabling General MIDI with System Exclusive Messages

    General MIDI can also be enabled/disabled using Universal System Exclusive (SysEx) messages:

    Turning General MIDI On using SysEx Messages

    F0
    7E
    <Device ID>
    09
    01
    F7
    F0 7E Universal non-real-time SysEx header
    <Device ID> ID of target device (suggest using 7F: Broadcast)
    09 sub-ID #1=General MIDI message
    01 sub-ID #2=General MIDI On
    F7 EOX (end of SysEx)

    Turning General MIDI Off using SysEx Messages

    F0
    7E
    <Device ID>
    09
    02
    F7
    F0 7E Universal non-real-time SysEx header
    <Device ID> ID of target device (suggest using 7F: Broadcast)
    09 sub-ID #1=General MIDI message
    02 sub-ID #2=General MIDI Off
    F7 EOX (end of SysEx)
    • The MIDI Control SYS-EX parameter must be set to SYS-EX=ON in order to receive Universal SysEx messages.
    • A Universal SysEx General MIDI On message acts the same as answering *YES* to the ENTER GENERAL MIDI MODE? prompt, and displays the General MIDI Mode page. The SysEx message will be ignored if the sequencer is running, or if the system is already in General MIDI Mode. Sequencer changes will be saved automatically, unless SAVE-CHANGES=NO (on the third Sequencer Control sub-page).
    • If the TS‑10 is already in General MIDI Mode, a Universal SysEx General MIDI Off message acts the same as pressing *EXIT* on the General MIDI Mode screen. This exits General MIDI Mode and returns the TS‑10 to its previous state.
    • When in General MIDI Mode, the Universal SysEx General MIDI Off message is the only SysEx message that will be received; all other SysEx messages are ignored.

    Sound Canvas MT-32 Mode Program Change Map

    The Roland® MT-32 was an early, pre-General MIDI multi-timbral sound module. It used a different MIDI Program Change Map than General MIDI. The Roland Sound Canvas™ provides an MT-32 Emulation mode, and some Standard MIDI Files are set up to use this. An MT-32 Program Change Map has been included in the TS‑10 to provide Sound Canvas MT-32 emulation capability.

    Roland products use the Bank Select MSB (MIDI Controller 0) to change sound banks; in the Sound Canvas, sound bank 127 is designated as the MT-32 Emulation mode bank. After the TS‑10 has received a Bank Select value of MSB 127, subsequent MIDI Program Changes on that MIDI channel will select the GM Sounds remapped to the Roland MT-32 Program Change Map, as below:

    After receiving a Bank Select value of MSB 127 on MIDI Channel 10, any subsequent MIDI program changes on MIDI channel 10 will always select the MT-32 Drum Map.

    Transmitting a Bank Select value of 0-126 MSB will return the MIDI channel to normal MIDI program change reception, selecting sounds from the General MIDI Sound Map as described on the previous page.

    MIDI Controller Implementation in General MIDI Mode
