Merge — A (A)
MIDI messages received at MIDI IN A and MIDI IN B will be
passed to the Parts of Group A. Since MIDI messages will not be
passed to the Parts of Group B, they will not sound. You might
select this setting when you wish to use both a MIDI keyboard
and a MIDI sequencer to play the Parts of Group A.

This setting is the same as Merge - A except that it uses B Parts
instead of A Parts. MIDI messages received at MIDI IN A and
MIDI IN B will be passed to the Parts of Group B. Since MIDI

not sound.

* When you change this setting, the display will blink. In order
to make the new setting valid, you must turn the power on
once again.
@ Backup (Backup Switch) : On/Off
Even when the power is turned off, the M-GS64 remembers the
settings that were made when it was on. If this Backup parame-
ter is set “OFF,” the settings will not be remembered.
* The settings of the System Parameter will be remembered even
if the backup switch is off.
@ Initialize : All, GS, GM, CM ( Mode 1 )
: All, GSA, GSB, GMA, GMB, CMA, CMB (Mode 2 }
AM: All settings of the M-GS64 will be initialized to the fac-
tory settings. Be aware that when this initialization is
performed, both System parameters and User Sounds
(p. 13) will be initialized to the factory settings.
GS, GM: When this initialization is performed, the M-GS64 will
be set to the GM/GS basic settings.
Song data bearing the GM/GS logo includes initializa-
tion data (General MIDI System On, GS Reset; p. 19) at
the beginning of the song data. This means that if you
are playing the song data from the beginning, initial-
ization wil! be done automatically, so there is no need
to perform the initialization from the M-GS64's front
panel.
CM: The M-GS64 can be set to the same arrangement of
sounds as the Roland CM-64 (multitimbral sound
module). Perform this initialization when you wish to
play back song data that was created for the CM-64.
* When you select this parameter, the Monitor indicator will
blink. To execute the selected type of initialization, press the
Enter button.
@ Bulk Dump
The M-GS64 is able to transmit its settings as MIDI data. This
allows you to use a sequencer or personal computer to save M-
GS64 data. Another way to use this capability is to set all the
parameters of two M-GS64 units to the identical settings.
Data is transmitted as System Exclusive data. This procedure is
known as Bulk Dump.
All (All) Transmit all M-GS64 parameter settings
(including User sounds).
AIL-U (A-U) Transmit all parameter settings except for User
sounds (User Patches, User Drum Sets).
User Patch (UP) Transmit User Patch settings.
User Drum (Ud) Transmit User Drum Set settings.
GS A (G-A) Transmit the GS parameter settings of Part
group A.
GSB (G-b) Transmit the GS parameter settings of Part
group B.
