the following for possible solutions.
* If a message has appeared during operation, consult the fol-
lowing “Error Messages” section.
* If performance is incorrect when playing back song data carry-
ing the General MIDI/GS logo, check the following points:
* That the Device ID is set to 17 (p. 10)
° That the General MIDI System On/GS Reset Receive
Switch (p.19) is tarned on
The above settings were made when the M-GS64 was shipped
from the factory.

GS64?

Have you incorrectly connected to the MIDI IN and OUT con-
nectors? (p. 5)
Can you hear sound through headphones? (Try using the
Preview function p. 20.) If you can hear sound through head-
phones, the problem may be that the audio cable transmitting
the sound to the other devices is damaged or incorrectly connect-
ed, or that there is a problem with your mixer/amp/speaker sys-
tem.

the volume down?
A specific Part does not sound

Transmit channel of the connected MIDI device? (p. 10)
Cannot select the desired sound
Are you sending an incorrect Program number? (p. 21)

match the Device ID number of the M-GS64? (p. 10)
