Depending on the type of XG devices, sound may be
different from the original data you created.
The contents to be converted:
Voice (Program) number, Volume, Feet (octave settings), Pan, Vibrato, Slide
(for the Lead voices), Initial Touch, Pitch Bend, Effects (Tremolo and Delay),
Reverb (except for Length), Sustain, Rhythm Patterns (except for
Accompaniment), Expression, Registration, Registration Shift (except for
Next Song)

disk slot.
2. Select the song to be converted to the XG data.
