Functions The S-YXG50 has two playback modes -- XG and TG300B -- and will startup in XG mode. When playing song data from commercially available XG collections or GM collections, a signal (System exclusive message) recorded at the beginning of the data will specify the playback mode, so that S-YXG50 will automatically switch to the appropriate playback mode.
  • Page 99 Functions Even when you create your own song data, you can insert a system exclusive message such as XG System On etc. at the beginning of your data to switch the playback mode. * Starting up your computer will automatically initialize all settings. * Changing modes requires about half a second.
