The

is

a

set

of

which

seeks

to

of

generating

devices.

Sound

generating

devices

and

musical

data

(disks)

carrying

the

General

MIDI

logo

conform

to

the

General

MIDI

specifications.

This

means

that

whenever

you

play

music

data

marked

with

the

General

logo,

the

musical

response

will

be

identical

when

played

on

any

which

also

carries

the

logo.

GS

Roland

developed

the

GS

Format

to

standardize

the

response

of

sound

generators

when

MIDI

is

used

for

the

production

of

music.

By

using

a

GS

sound

device,

you

can

be

assured

that

you

will

always

obtain

a

faithful,

high-quality

rendition

of

any

commercially

available

music

data

that

carries

the

GS

Format

logo.

The

KR-770’s

sound

generator

fully

supports

both

the

General

and

the

you

can

use

that

is

designed

for

either
