Multi mode allows you to use the X5DR as
a 16-channel multi-timbre (GM) tone
generator. You can play different
Programs assigned to 16 tracks. When
you turn on the power to the X5DR, Multi
mode uses a default GM setting, which
allows you to play back a GM score (GM
performance data) right away. If you wish
to restore the GM default setting, send the
GM System On message or set 23A SET
TO GM accordingly.
* If the GM score is not played back
correctly, refer to “Notes on playing back
GM scores” on Page 18.

Programs A00–99.
While Bank G is selected:
Sending Program Change messages 0–127 will select
Programs G01–128.

messages to change the Bank.
* Send the Bank Select messages to change the
Banks between A and G.
Press the [MULTI] button to enter Multi mode.
* The [MULTI] button allows you to switch between Global mode and Multi
mode. When the X5DR is in Global mode (the indicator flashes), press the
[MULTI] button again to enter Multi mode (the indicator lights up).
The X5DR has 100 Programs in Bank A (A00–99),
and 136 Programs in Bank G (G01–136), for a total
236 Programs.
* When the X5DR is shipped from the factory,
Bank A has Preset a Programs. (See page 20,
