ThePC3K’sGMsoundsconsistofPC3Kprogramstai loredtoworkwellinallGMsequences,
butyoucanalsoeditorexchangetheseprogramstosuityourtaste.ThePC3Kprovidesyou
withaGMsoundseteditorwhichallowsyoutoreplacethePC3K’s
defaultGMprogramswith
anyotherPC3Kfactoryorusercreatedprogram.Forexample,youcouldchooseadifferent
factoryorusercreatedpianoprogramtoreplacethedefaultGMprogram1,AcGrandPiano.
Thisway,anyGMsequencethatusesGMprogram1wouldnowusethenewpiano
program
thatyouselected.Alternatively,youcouldevenchooseadifferentinstrumenttoreplacethe
defaultGM program1,suchasPC3Kprogram47Harpsichord.Thisway,anyGMsequencethat
usesGMprogram1wouldnowusethenewharpsichordprogramthatyouselected.Usinga
PC3Kprogramthat
doesnotresembletheinstrumentnamedinthecurrentGMprogramwould
technicallymakethePC3KincompatiblewithGM,butsomeusersmaywanttodothisasaway
to“remix”GMsequences.
ItiseasytoreplacedefaultGMprogramsinordertomakeacustomGMsoundset.
