However,

to

avoid

the

untimely

loss

of

data,

it

is

strongly

recommended

that

you

change

the

battery

every

5

years.

Please

be

aware

that

the

actu-

al

life

of

the

will

depend

upon

the

physical

environ-

ment

—

especially

the

—

in

which

the

However,

in

certain

cases

(such

as

when

About

the

M-GS64’s

Modes

The

M-GS64

has

two

modes:

Patch

Select

mode,

which

is

what

you

will

use

normally

for

playing

the

unit;

and

Edit

mode,

which

allows

you

to

edit

sounds

or

modify

settings

for

the

unit.

When

you

press

the

Patch

button,

the

indicator

will

light

to

indi-

cate

that

you

are

in

Patch

Select

made.

When

you

press

either

the

Select

button

or

a

function

bution,

you

will

enter

Edit

mode.

Out

Sounds

in

the

Patch

Select

Mode

The

M-GS64

is

able

to

produce

32

different

sounds

(timbres)

at

once.

An

electronic

instrument

such

as

the

M-GS64

that

can

simultaneously

play

a

multiple

number

of

sounds

is

called

a

multitimbral

sound

generator.

Being

able

to

simultaneously

play

32

sounds

means

that

you

can

use

32

different

instruments

at

once.

In

other

words,

you

can

create

an

orchestra-like

ensemble

of

32

musical

parts.

In

the

M-GS64,

the

sound

selected

for

each

Part

is

called

a

Patch.

(Patch

List,

p.25)

You

can

assign

the

sounds

you

want

to

each

of

the

32

Parts

to

create

your

own

ensembles.

There

are

two

types

of

Parts:

Normal

Parts

and

Drum

Parts.

The

setting

for

“Part

Mode”

determines

which

type

they

will

be.

Normal

Parts

are

used

for

playing

melody

or

bass

lines.

Drum

Parts

are

used

for

playing

percussion

instruments,

Here’s

how

to

select

Patches

and

play

various

sounds.

*

In

order

for

sound

to

be

produced,

the

MIDI

receive

channel

specified

for

each

Part

must

match

the

MIDI

transmit

channel

of

the

MIDI

keyboard

that

is

connected.

At

the

factory

settings,

the

32

Parts

of

the

M-GS64

are

set

to

the

MIDI

channel

that

cor-

responds

to

the

Part

number.

(p.9)

In

the

following

explanation,

we

will

assume

that

the

MID]

transmit

channel

of

the

MIDI

keyboard

is

set

to

channel

1.

About

the

Sound

Map

In

addition

to

the

basic

sound

map

for

normal

use

(Map

1),

the

M-GS64

also

provides

a

sound

map

that

is

optimized

for

desktop

music

systems

(Map

2).

The

Map

Select

parameter

(p.

12)

lets

you

specify

the

sound

map

independently

for

each

Part.

*

At

the

factory

settings,

all

Parts

are

set

to

use

the

basic

sound

map

(Map

1).

I

Voices

and

Maximum

Polyphony

The

sounds

of

the

M-GS64

are

produced

by

units

called

“Voices.”

There

is

a

limit

to

how

many

of

these

voices

can

sound

at

once,

and

in

the

case

of

the

M-GS64,

up

to

64

simultaneous

voices

can

be

used.

Some

sounds

(Patches)

use

one

voice

and

others

use

two

voices

(Patch

List,

p-

25).

The

main

reason

that

some

sounds

use

two

voices

is

to

allow

different

timbres

to

be

sounded

depending

on

changes

in

the

velocity.

If

more

than

64

voices

are

used

at

once,

Jater-sounded

notes

will

be

given

priority,

and

notes

sounded

previously

will

be

turned

off

starting

from

the

oldest

note.

If

you

use

only

single-voice

sound,

you

will

be

able

to

play

64

notes

simultaneously,

but

if

some

of

the

sounds

are

two-voice

ones,

you

will

be

able

to

play

less

than

64

simultaneous

notes.

Even

if

a

MIDI

Note

Off

mes-

sage

is

received,

voices

will

remain

in

use

for

as

long

as

the

sound

is

heard.

Be

aware

of

this

especially

in

the

case

of

sounds

with

a

long

release

(

p.

13).

*

If

song

data

created

with

64-voice

playback

in

mind

is

played

back

by

a

sound

module

with

fewer

voices,

some

notes

will

drop

out,

and

the

musical

result

wil]

not

be

as

it

should.

The

has

two

connectors.

This

is

because

there

This

so

that

handled

as

If

to

be

the

will

be

turned

before

the

it

When

that

a

result

In

The

Another

way

to

is

to

of

two

M-GS64
