- GENERAL MIDI FOR THE MT-32 v1.0
-
- ======================================================================
-
- This Archive should contain the following files:
-
- 1. MT32GM1.0, This file contains timbre, patch, rhythm & system data.
-
- 2. GMText, Ascii text of the GM patch map approved by the MMA.
-
- 3. 22 files that begin with either PART or PRT. These small files will
- help you manage the MT32 by turning parts off or shifting them to
- different MIDI channels.
- ex: PRT7CH8 programs part 7 to receive on MIDI channel 8.
-
- 4. Three Reverb & two Rhythm files, shift between 3 types of internal
- reverb (room is default), turn Rhythm off or move it to MIDI Ch 16.
-
- 5. GM_MT32Doc, This file.
-
- 6. DEMO.MID, a standard MIDI file (format 1) of original music using
- some of the new presets. Watch your overall volume, parts of this
- sequence are loud.

-
- ======================================================================
-
- All MT-32 data is in standard MIDIEX format.
-
- Available MIDIEX programs.

-
- Using one of the above programs transmit MT32GM1.0 to your synth,
- that's it! Your MT32 is now approx 90% compatible with the MMA
- General MIDI standard. The small PART/PRT files will make the synth
- even more compatible by making all 16 MIDI channels available.
-
- It would have been nice to be able to program all 128 sounds, as it
- stands half of the 128 standard ROM timbres are combined with 64
- user timbres to form a compromise bank. The General MIDI path map
- is included in this upload, (GMText) I suggest printing it out.
-
- I welcome any and all contributions to this effort, if you have a
- better Ac.Piano, Synth Bass, TenorSax send it to me I will consider
- including it. If you have suggestions I would like to hear them.
- I can support MIDIEX, DR.T's & MidiQuest patch format.

-
- REMEMBER! The ONLY way to access the new timbres in your MT32 is by
- program changes sent from your Keyboard or by the sequencer.
