Song Player/Recorder
Track 1~16 MIDI Out Assign
Options: A, B, Off
These parameters (one per track) allow you
to assign the selected track to the desired
MIDI OUT socket ("A" or "B"), or to pre-
vent a track from sending MIDI data
("Off "), which has the same effect as mut-
ing it (see "Switching recorded parts on and
off " on page 26). You can use these parame-
ters after selecting a macro (see above) to
modify some assignments, while preserving
the bulk of the macro's settings. If you do
that, the macro's name changes to "User"
(see the "MIDI MACRO Recall" parameter).
The setting you make here has no effect on
the Master track, because it is always con-
nected to MIDI OUT A and B.
Tracks you assign to the MIDI OUT A socket can be
selected using the [ORGAN] button. Tracks assigned
to MIDI OUT B can be selected using the [OTHER]
button.
Do not forget to connect the receiving instrument to
the MIDI OUT socket you select here.

Send "GM/GS Mode Exit"
The MR-200 also provides a function that
allows you to cause the receiving sound
module (or synthesizer) to leave the GM
(general MIDI) or GS (Roland's GS stan-
dard) mode. This is only necessary if the
receiving module (or synthesizer) has
another mode that is more powerful than
the GM or GS mode. The Rodgers MX-200,
Roland XV-2020 (or other professional
Roland instruments) is a likely candidate for
the use of this command.
On such instruments, leaving the GM or GS
mode usually means that you have access to
a lot more sounds – but that sequences
recorded for such instruments sound
"strange" on GM- or GS-compatible sound
sources.
A Hold down the [RESET¥|√] button while
pressing [STOP¥ª].
The MR-200 now sends two SysEx messages
to its MIDI OUT A and B ports that cause
the receiving tone generators to leave the
GM or GS mode (if they can).
(The messages transmitted are:
F0, 41, 10, 42,12, 40, 00, 7F, 7F, 42, F7
(GS Exit)
F0, 7E, 7F, 09, 02, F7 (GM Exit).)
While the MR-200 is sending those mes-
sages, the display looks as follows:
