x 128 MIDI banks. Use this option if your sound module/synth is not GM
(General MIDI) capable.
GM
The sound presets or patches follow the GM (General MIDI) standard. The
names of patches appear in text form in the display. The General MIDI
standard dictates 128 sounds, and some manufacturers of GM capable
sound modules have implemented kits that allow for choosing various
MIDI sound banks. Your ZETA SYNTHONY II divides it’s MIDI bank
into an MSB (most significant byte) and an LSB (least significant byte)
data group, which allows 128 x 128 GM kits. Use this option if your sound
module/synth is not GM (General MIDI) capable.
XG
The sound presets or patches follow the XG (Extended General MIDI)
standard. The names of patches appear in text form in the display.
Information about MIDI bank numbers is not included. If your MIDI
instrument is XG capable, you should certainly make use of it. It is a very
easy way to maintain an overview of the numerous normal patches
available. The built-in sound module of the ZETA SYNTHONY II is XG
compatible and offers you all of the XG sounds in superior
quality.
