Many of the new XG voices are

variations of basic GM voices which are

stored in additional banks. Each bank is

associated with a specific type of

variation, so that voices are easy to

locate. When using an external sequencer to control the CS2x,

additional banks are selected by the appropriate Bank Select LSB

(Least Significant Bit) and MSB (Most Significant Bit) values.

The XG format also supports a full SFX bank of extension effects,

which are selected by a Bank Select MSB value of 40H and LSB

0H.

What’s more, the XG format also offers high level effects support,

enabling control of effects types, circuit operation, plus internal

parameter settings for both basic and elaborate effects. This

means you can freely control the parameters of the CS2x’s 12

Reverb, 14 Chorus and 62 Variation types of effects

independently using an external sequencer.

The CS2x also features another play mode — TG300B mode —

which lets you play back commercially available MIDI files in

this format.

For more information about MIDI and MIDI related parameters,

see page 72. Also see the separate “Data List” book.

General MIDI System Level 1 (GM) was

created in order to standardize the voice

assignments for 128 normal voices plus

drums, so that songs created in the GM

format would play back exactly as the

composer intended regardless of the tone generator

manufacturer — as long as the device supported the GM

standard as marked with the GM logo. These days virtually all

electronic musical instruments and software-based music and

game products support the GM standard.

GM is not without its limitations, however, which is why Yamaha

created the XG format which maintains full compatibility with

the basic MIDI and GM standards, while at the same time

significantly increasing the range of expressiveness possible

through much greater control over voice modifications and

effects, plus provides for many more normal and drum voices to

be available for use.

XG Operation

XG represents the current state-of-the-art in multitimbral MIDI

technology. In the early days of MIDI, it was very difficult to take

music data created using one particular sequencer and play it

back on another because the instruments assigned to the different

parts were different for each maker and even individual

composer. This meant that when different musicians came

together with their varied MIDI instruments and music data, it

required literally hours and hours of painstaking MIDI channel

and other reassignment and checking operations before the

music session could even begin! Thankfully those nightmare days

are long gone.

Multi Play In

Performance Mode

While Multi Play mode is ideal for recording and playback of 16-

part compositions using the XG voices, you can also use

Performance mode for multitimbral play (using an external music

sequencer) in order to enjoy the full benefits of the broader

dimension of sound possible by the Preset or User Performances,

plus Scene switching, arpeggiated chords and all of the SOUND

CONTROL knobs.

To demonstrate how you can get the biggest benefits from the

CS2x’s multitimbral capabilities, we show you how to put its

MIDI parameter control features into practical use by describing

a few basic operations when using the CS2x with a computer and

Yamaha’s XGworks music sequencer application, a truly

professional level MIDI music sequencer which features

everything you’d expect from the world’s most popular music

software applications, plus the added benefit of greater ease of

access to and control over XG commands. It even accommodates

and lets you create songs in all popular formats, including as

digital audio data such as WAV files.

When the CS2x is used for Multi Play in Performance mode, the

Performance part is programmed as Part 1, and the 12 available

voice parts are programmed in Parts 5 ~ 16. Which voice is used

for each of the 12 Parts is determined by MIDI bank select,

program change and other messages recorded as data in the

sequencer tracks. (For more information, see pages 35 and 56.)
