About GM2/Native modes

■GM2/Native mode sound sets

The sounds sets of GM2 mode and Native mode are organized by their character into four or six variations.

Classical

This is the basic sound set that blends well into an ensemble. This set is also used when GM2 data compatibility is important.

Contemporary

This sound set emphasizes the realism of each individual instrument. It contains numerous sounds that use velocity switching for expressive dynamics.

Solo

This sound set contains mainly sounds that are designed to be distinctive when used to play solos. These sounds include spacious stereo-sampled sounds, as well as sounds that are switched by velocity.

internal the Using generator sound

This sound set concentrates on sounds that are designed with multi-effects (MFX), such as distortion guitar and rotary organ. You can obtain an effect simply by selecting one of these sounds. The set also includes acoustic instruments with a clear upper register produced by equalization processing, and synth sounds based on multi-effects.

Up to three enhanced sounds can be used simultaneously. This set also contains some sounds that do not use MFX.

*With the factory settings in Native mode, parts 1--3 allow you to use special sounds or enhanced sounds that use MFX.

Special

This sound set can be used only in Native mode. It consists mainly of the best sounds of the SD-80 from the Enhanced set, and also includes highly original sounds not defined by GM2.

As with the Enhanced set, most sounds use multi-effects (MFX).
