Drum sounds
General MIDI
This list shows the drum sounds and sound effects on the VGM board that are available when the PC88 is in General
MIDI mode. The different sets are accessed by sending the PC88 the appropriate program change number on Chan-
nel 10. These numbers assume the ÒProgram Number DisplayÓ parameter is set for 0-127; add 1 if it is set for 1-128.
The GM Jazz Kit, Program Change #32, is the same as the GM Standard Kit, and is included for compatibility with
GS sequences. A sound marked with "EXC" and a number is an "exclusive" soundÑwhen it is played, any other
sound marked "EXC" and the
same
number will cut off immediately. These same sets are available in the VGM Ex-
pansion Bank (2), with different program change numbers, for use when the PC88 is not in GM mode. From the
Expansion Bank, they can be accessed on any MIDI channel. An empty box in a set means that that note plays the
same sound as in the Standard GM Set.
