BASIC CONCEPTS • Drum voice is the voice category that specifies drum voices. In this category, drum voices can be freely assigned, and you can select a different drum voice for each part. However it will not be possible to edit the drum voice. • If you wish to edit a drum voice, you can use the three voice categories drum setup 1 - drum setup 3 . These categories "overlay" a drum voice with a drum setup that can be edited. This means that by editing the drum setup for a part that is set to this category, you can indirectly edit a drum voice. However if you specify the same drum setup for two or more parts, editing one of the parts will automatically edit the drum voice for the other part. Program number • The program number specifies the voice number to select the voice. The voices selected by the program number will depend on the voice category setting. • If the voice category is set to a Normal voice, program numbers 1 - 128 will allow you to select the 128 voices of the XG basic bank (= GM System Level 1). • If the voice category is other than Normal voice, it will not necessarily be the case that each program number selects a different voice. Also, if SFX voice is selected as the category, some program numbers will produce no sound. • For lists of voices, refer to the List Book. Bank number • Bank number is effective only for parts whose voice category is set to Normal voice . • The Bank number specifies the XG expansion banks to select variation voices relative to the 128 voices of the XG basic bank (= GM System Level 1). • For example with program number 17 "DrawOrgn", variation voices can be selected by changing the bank number to 64 to select "Organ Ba", 65 to select "70sDrOr2", 66 to select "CheezOrg," or 67 to select "DrawOrg3." Selecting voices via MIDI • Voice Category, Program Number, and Bank Number respectively correspond to the MIDI messages Bank Select MSB, Program Change, and Bank Select LSB. When using MIDI to select a voice, transmit these three MIDI messages in the order of Bank Select MSB, Bank Select LSB, and Program Change. • The voice categories Drum Setup 1 - Drum Setup 3 are selected using MIDI System Exclusive messages. • Each voice is placed in a three-dimensional space with the three axes being the Bank Select MSB, LSB, and Program Change (see diagram below). • The Bank Select MSB and LSB are used to manage 105 voice banks. MSB=000 : LSB=000 MSB=000 : LSB-001 - 101 MSB=064 : LSB=000 MSB=126 : LSB=000 MSB=127 : LSB=000 (Normal voices: XG basic bank = GM System Level 1) (Normal voices: XG extension banks) (SFX voices) (SFX kits) (Drum voices) • The voices within the bank specified by the Bank Select messages are selected by Program Change messages. Program Change=000 - 127 Voice Category MSB=000-127 Program Change=000-127 LSB=000-127 Bank Number 44 Chapter 1
