Using the JV-1010 as the GM Sound Module

The JV-1010 features a GM mode—a convenient way to play back or create GM score data (music files for GM sound module). You’re able to play back commercial GM score data releases and even modify various parameter settings for enhanced musical expression.

Entering GM Mode

Quick Start

Use GM mode to place the JV-1010’s sound source in GM System compatible mode. Basically GM mode is similar to a special kind of Performance in which a GM System Rhythm Set is assigned to Part 10, and GM System Patches are assigned to other Parts.

1 Press the VALUE knob to switch to the GM mode (GM ).

Pressing the VALUE knob makes the mode change sequentially. Press the knob several times, until the GM indicator lights up.

When you switch to the GM mode, the sound generator is initialized with basic settings that allow it to conform with the General MIDI System.

Each time you enter GM mode, the GM Drum Set is assigned to Part 10, and Piano 1 is assigned to other Parts. You can also select other GM Patches and GM Drum Sets for each Part to match the performance.

If you want to preserve the GM mode settings, save the settings to an external MIDI device by transmitting them as MIDI messages. For further details, see “Transmitting

Settings to an External

MIDI Device (Data

Transfer)” (p. 48).

In GM mode, “- - -” appears in the display when a parameter that cannot be set is selected.
