General MIDI (GM) is an agreed-upon set of sounds and protocols which aims to ensure that, no matter

what brand or model General MIDI instrument you use to play General MIDI sequences, the music is

guaranteed to sound as its arranger intended. For a more detailed description of General MIDI, see

ÒWhat Is General MIDI?Ó found in Chapter 13ÑSupplemental Information.

The ZR-76 can play General MIDI music in either of two ways:

¥ You can load General MIDI Standard MIDI Files from floppy disk into your ZR-76. Once loaded into

the 16 Track Recorder, you can play them back, edit them, and/or add your own new tracks.

¥ You can play GM files on an external deviceÑsuch as a computer or stand-alone sequencerÑand

use the ZRÕs complete set of GM sounds.

The ZR-76 GM mode reconfigures your ZR-76 for General MIDI music. Once in GM Mode, the 16 Track

Recorder will be prepared to play GM Standard MIDI Files loaded from floppy or to act as a 16-channel

General MIDI sound source.
