Sounds

Because the PS/GPS has well over 1000 factory
sounds as standard, these sounds have been di-
vided into 16 families, making it easier to find the
right type of sounds quickly and easily.
The families are organized into 16 Instrument
Groups of the SOUND GROUPS section (Piano,
Mallet, Organ, etc.) and each Group is further
subdivided into 16 Banks, each containing up to
8 sounds.

GMX BANKS 1, 2 AND 3

These banks contain a standard set of sounds
which are included in every Generalmusic prod-
uct. The first bank, (Bank 1), of the Sound Groups
section contains the industry standard General
MIDI sound library. This family is designed to be
used when the PS/GPS is required to play Gen-
eral MIDI song disks or when the instrument is
being controlled by a computer program or some
other device which requires a General MIDI sound
library.
The second and third banks, (Bank 2 & 3) con-
tain 256 sounds taken from Generalmusic's own
extensive sound library. These sounds, along
with the 128 sounds in Bank 1, ensure compat-
ibility with Generalmusic's own song library, and
also with song disks created on other
Generalmusic instruments.

BANKS 4 - 16

These are the "core" sounds of the PS/GPS,
where you will find a wide selection of typical syn-
thesizer sounds, authentic reproductions of tra-
ditional orchestral instruments and more. Many
of these sounds are further enhanced by appro-
priate effects, typical of the instrument's playing
style, being assigned to either velocity or
aftertouch.
All the Sounds can be freely edited and stored
as new sounds. The 16 Banks of each family
provides ample room for all your programmed
work.

DRUM KITS AND DRUM SOUNDS

The Drum Kits family, called PERCUSSIVE, in-
cludes just about every type of drum kit you could
imagine - from jazz to rock, orchestra to techno
and beyond.
Just like the sounds, the individual drum sounds
can be freely edited and stored to the empty lo-
cations of the 16 Banks of the Percussive family.
They can then be stored as new sounds, either
for individual use or for incorporating into the drum
kits.
