ENSONIQ ZR-76 Musician's Manual 59
You can now load a GM Standard MIDI File from floppy disk into any sequence location. To learn how
to load Standard MIDI Files, see Chapter 7.
If youÕre using an external sequencer to play back GM music, your ZR-76 will function perfectly as a
high-quality GM sound source. (Chapter 2 describes the MIDI connections youÕll need to make.)

General MIDI is designed to be extremely easy to use, requiring no background technical knowledge of
its workings. However, for ZR-76 users who are interested, hereÕs what happens when you ÒEnter GM
mode.Ó
¥ The ZR-76 moves into its song memory any song currently in the Song Editor.
¥ The ZR-76 creates a new song, selects sequence A in bank 1 and selects track 1 in sequence A.
¥ Tracks 1-16 are set to MIDI channels 1-16, respectively.
¥ Each track in the 16 Track Recorder is set to select sounds from the ZR-76Õs bank of General MIDI
sounds.
¥ Each trackÕs Bank&ProgChgRecv is set to On so that the ZR-76 can respond to General MIDI program
changes.
¥ Bank Select Recv parameter for each track is disabled in the event that the GM sequence being
played contains Bank Select messages on the trackÑthis guarantees that program changes will only
select sounds from the ZRÕs GM sound bank. Track 10 is set to select sounds only from the ZRÕs GM
drum kit bank.
¥ Each trackÕs PitchBendMode is set to Prog so that its GM sounds respond to MIDI Pitch Bend data in
accordance with the General MIDI rules.
¥ The system AutoSelect FXBus parameter is set to Off to allow General MIDI Effect Change messages
to control the ZRÕs chorus and reverb.
¥ The system Track ParamReset parameter is set to Off to prevent the various track parameters preset
for General MIDI from being inadvertently changed.
¥ The system ResetControlRecv and AllNotesOff Recv parameters are set to On so that the ZR-76 can
respond to MIDI panic messages.
¥ The system SysEx Recv parameters is set to On so that you can return the ZR-76 to its original
General MIDI settings any time you like, via a General MIDI On SysEx message.
