Structure of Multi Mode

Multi mode allows you to use the X5DR as a GM tone generator which conforms to General MIDI
System Level 1.
When GM ON messages are received or when the power is turned on, the GM settings are
automatically selected. You can restore the GM settings in 23A SET TO GM (see page 114). When
the GM settings are selected, MIDI Channels for Tracks 1–16 will become 1–16, respectively.
Track 10 (MIDI Channel 10) is used for a rhythm part:G129:GM Kit. Other tracks are assigned
G01: Piano.
You can play different Track Programs on each track by transmitting performance information via
the MIDI channel that corresponds to each track from a computer or sequencer.
