DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)
This voice allocation format is compatible with many of
Yamaha's MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series
instruments.
This is also common format used with various Yamaha
software.
GS
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation.
In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhance-
ment of the GM specifically to provide more voices and
drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expres-
sive control over voices and effects.
Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the condi-
tions above, the data may still not be completely com-
patible, depending on the specifications of the devices
and particular data recording methods.
Disk format
It is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the
system of the device being used. This operation is
called "formatting."
• There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (dou-
ble sided, double density) and MF2HD (double
sided, high density), and each type has different for-
matting systems.
• Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to
be used is compatible with the format of the disk.
