Because GM handles effects levels differently, the PC2 scales
down the levels of FX A and FX B. You can adjust the amount
of scaling manually, using the GM FX Scale parameter
(described on page 8).
What Happens When You Turn GM Mode Off
When General MIDI is Off, all MIDI channels are reassigned
to play Bank 0 (Int), Program 000. The programs in Bank 7
return to their normal configuration; the value of the Touch
parameter returns to its former value (which the PC2
remembers if you turn the power off); the effect levels return
to their former state.
GM Bank
The GM Bank parameter lets you manually specify the bank
where your GM programs are stored. The default value is
Auto, which means that when you turn GM mode on, the
PC2 checks for the GM programs and automatically sets all
MIDI channels (except 10) to play programs in the bank
where it finds the GM programs. The display shows you
which bank is found (Exp1) in the example below, so the
display looks like this:
||Global|Settings
GM|Bank|(Exp1):|Auto
You'll almost never need to change the default value of Auto
for GM Bank. In fact, there's only one such case: when
you've loaded your GM programs into RAM instead of
installing them into ROM, and you've deleted Program
127 Gunshot (which is the program the PC2 looks for when it
checks to see which bank contains the GM programs). In this
case, when you turn GM mode on, the PC2 is unable to select
the right bank automatically (and the GM Bank parameter
shows
