01/W GM MIDI Multi-Sounds
Revised: 98Dec13
Korg sells a General MIDI (GM) disk, order number XPD-15. Loading this
disk makes your 01/W GM compatible by loading Programs that have been edited
to match the GM standard as closely as Korg could get it. Studying the
way Korg assigned Multi-Sounds is a good way to see how you might create
your own Programs. This table can also help you get started in creating
your own GM-compatible Banks. (You can't totally re-create the Korg disk
because there are several Program settings that are not shown here.)
