Initializing the Sound Source
for GM System Basic Settings
To play back a GM score correctly, the sound source must
first be initialized to basic GM system settings. The XP-30’s
sound source is initialized in the following situations:
- When the XP-30 is switched to GM mode
- When it receives a GM System On message from an

external MIDI device

Playing Back a GM Score
When the XP-30 is in GM mode, it plays back GM scores
correctly. But beyond this, the XP-30 provides many
extended features not defined in GM System specifications,
and if you create music files using these extended features,
your song may not play back correctly on other GM-
compatible sound modules.

* The XP-30 is not compatible with the GS format (standard
format for multitimbral sound sources advocated by Roland).
Music files bearing the GS logo (GS music data) may therefore

* The beginning of a GM score normally contains a GM System
On message. So if you play back a GM score starting in the top
of a song, XP-30 will switch itself to GM mode. But if you play
back a GM score starting in the middle of a song, XP-30 may
not switch itself to GM mode, and the GM score may not play
back correctly. So to be safe, it’s recommended to manually set
the XP-30 to GM mode before playing back a GM score.
