With the factory settings,
these banks contain a wide
variety of preloaded
programs that use the
internal multisamples,
effects, and arpeggiator.
F 000…127
Initialized
Programs.
Use these to create a
program from scratch.
GM 001…128
GM2 main
programs.
These banks contain 256
GM programs and nine GM
drum programs that are
compatible with the GM2
sound map. The programs
of these banks are read-
only.
Bank GM contains the GM
programs. GM lets you
select 128 programs
numbered from 001–128,
and g(1)–g(d) lets you
select nine drum
programs.
You can’t write (save) data
to these banks.
g(1)…
g(9)
001…128
