Quick Start
Using the JV-1010 as the GM Sound Module
The JV-1010 features a GM mode—a convenient way to play back or create
GM score data (music files for GM sound module). You’re able to play back
commercial GM score data releases and even modify various parameter
settings for enhanced musical expression.
Entering GM Mode
Use GM mode to place the JV-1010’s sound source in GM System compatible
mode. Basically GM mode is similar to a special kind of Performance in
which a GM System Rhythm Set is assigned to Part 10, and GM System
Patches are assigned to other Parts.

Press the VALUE knob to switch to the GM mode (GM ).
Pressing the VALUE knob makes the mode change sequentially. Press the
knob several times, until the GM indicator lights up.
When you switch to the GM mode, the sound generator is initialized with
basic settings that allow it to conform with the General MIDI System.
Each time you enter GM mode, the GM Drum Set is assigned to Part 10, and
Piano 1 is assigned to other Parts. You can also select other GM Patches and
GM Drum Sets for each Part to match the performance.
For more information about
the performance, please refer
to
“Performing Multiple
Parts (Performance
Mode)”
(p. 42).

If you want to preserve the
GM mode settings, save the
settings to an external MIDI
device by transmitting them
as MIDI messages. For further
details, see
“Transmitting
Settings to an External
MIDI Device (Data
Transfer)”
(p. 48).
In GM mode, “- - -

when a parameter that
