Yamaha XG Verses GM
-------------------
Again, play these MIDI files with XG tone generators, such as an MU50. With
"XGworks" or "XGViewer", you can see the meanings of each of the SysEx strings.

Drums - 01DR_GM.MID/01DR_XG.MID
XG is deservedly famous for its drum sounds. It's not easy to get a good drum
sound with manual tuning and mixing, but XG gives you not only programmable
pitch for each part of the set, but also adjustable effect levels, volume and
panning options that will knock your socks off. Ultimate drum sound
satisfaction is guaranteed!

Electric Bass - 02EB_GM.MID/02EB_XG.MID
There are many different styles of bass, but let's talk about one of the
hardest sounds to reproduce; Slap Bass. Unlike synth bass sounds, slap requires
a certain human touch to re-create the sounds produced by various finger
techniques in actual performance. XG provides excellent amplifier simulation
for truly natural ambiance, and includes high quality effectors to get that
human touch that was unavailable until now.

Electric Guitar - 03EG_GM.MID/03EG_XG.MID
In order to get that heavy guitar sound of a cranked-up amp, you used to need a
collection of effect pedals. XG lets you say good-bye to such complications;
ultimate guitar sound is at your fingertips, and you can adjust every detail of
each effect. And remember that great wah distortion sound that's been
impossible to reproduce? XG gives you an updated version that's even better
than the sound you could get on a real electric guitar. Try it out!

Electric Piano - 04EP_GM.MID/04EP_XG.MID
The piano is probably the most commonly used instrument used for composing.
However, the electric piano hasn't been giving you the special sound you want.
XG has the answer! Your phrasing is of course the basis of your piano sound,
but high quality effects and a wide range of dynamics are what let your
keyboard articulation come through in the sound. This one XG sequence provides
enough alterable sound selections and effects to satisfy your needs. Get ready
for some of the most amazing electric piano sounds you've ever heard.

Hall Reverb - 05RV_GM.MID/05RV_XG.MID
Famous concert halls throughout the world are noted for the individually
distinctive acoustics that result from their design, and these acoustics are
vital to musical expression. Acoustical analysis results for many renowned
concert halls are included in the XG system, providing more than 10 types of
ultra-high quality reverberation to give you the sonic experience of a
life-time.
