How each switches worksMUTE Lock (Mute Lock) On/Off

When you once again playback a song that was previously played back, Part Mute settings (p.27) are sometimes defeated. This is because the beginning of the song data contains a message that causes this unit to reset to initial values (GM System On / GS Reset p.133). If MUTE Lock is turned on, muting will not be turned off even when GS Reset or GM System On is received, so there will be no need for you to remake mute settings. This is convenient when, for example, you are repeatedly playing back a song with a certain Part muted so that you can play that Part yourself.

*Regardless of the MUTE Lock setting, All Mute (p.35) will not be defeated when GS Reset or GM System On are received.

EQ Lock (Equalizer Lock) On/Off

When a GS Reset or GM System On message is received, the equalizer settings will be restored to the factory settings (initialized). If EQ Lock is turned on, this will not occur.

GM System On and GS Reset (p.133) are MIDI exclusive messages that are included in the beginning of song data bearing the GM or GS logo. When song data is played back from the beginning, these messages cause the sound generator parameters to be reset to basic values so that playback will be correct. Thus, when playing back song data bearing the GM or GS logo, you should leave these parameters on. If these parameters are turned off, GM System On and GS Reset messages will be ignored.

When you play the General MIDI Score data, be sure to set the General MIDI System

When you play Roland SMF Music data, be sure to set the Device ID number (p.134) to 17, the GS Reset Receiving Switch to ON .
