System Exclusive controls fine tone adjustments unique to a particular sys- tem. Basically, the system exclusives are unique to a particular system; how- ever, there are “universal” system exclu- sives that are common among devices produced by individual manufacturers.

These are the system exclusive mes- sages supported by this keyboard.

•GM Mode On ([F0][7E][7F][09] [01][F7]) — used to turn on the MD- 1200’s GM mode from an external MIDI device.

Notes:

•GM (General MIDI) is a standard list of specifications that allows music created on one MIDI device to sound the same when played on another MIDI device. This keyboard’s GM mode incor- porates most of these specifica- tions.

•This message takes more time to process than other messages; when you program GM Mode On in the sequencer, leave at least a 100 msec pause before the next message.

•GM Mode Off ([F0][7E][7F][09] [02][F7]) — used to turn off the MD- 1200’s GM mode.

•Reverb Change ([F0][44][0E][09] [yy][F7]) — switches the keyboard’s

reverb function. yy determines the type of reverberation effect.

Note: The contents of the System Ex- clusive message affect the entire key- board. Other messages affect only the current MIDI channel.
