Enable GM Mode by setting the GM parameter to On. When GM is on, GM is displayed on the
top line of the screen. This happens on all of the K2661’s main pages.
The GM Studio parameter sets the FX Studio that will be used by GM programs. Six GM
Studios are included, providing different reverb and chorus-plus-reverb settings.
500 GM1 Room
501 GM2 Chamber
502 GM3 Hall
503 GM4 Chorus+Room
504 GM5 Chorus+Chmbr
505 GM6 Chorus+Hall
The default GM Studio (GM1 Room) is at ID 500. Use the GM Studio parameter to select a
Studio which best complements your program material.
Here’s what happens when you enable GM Mode:
• On all channels except channel 10 (which GM uses for drums), you will see only the 128 GM
programs. On MIDI channel 10, you will see the eight drum kits.
• The K2661 will modify the following entries in the master table:
• FX mode (GM uses Master mode)
• FX channel (GM uses None)
• FX studio (GM uses the studio selected in GM Studio set on the Master: GM page)
• Receive velocity map (GM uses the GM Receive Velocity Map)
• progChgType (GM uses 0-127 mode)
Old settings will be remembered, however, so that when you turn GM Mode off the K2661
will restore your previous settings.
• Volume and expression controllers are mapped to a special GM curve, as in “GS” synths.
(GS is a superset of General MIDI that is used by the Roland Sound Canvas and other
products.)
• GM drum kits are mapped across program number space as in the “GS” synths, and have
exclusive zones included with them.
