About the GM and XG
GM
GM (General MIDI) is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music
data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of maker. The GM
mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support the General MIDI standard. The
DB50XG supports “GM System Level 1”.
XG
XG is a new MIDI format created by Yamaha which significantly improves and expands upon the
General MIDI standard by providing a greater variety of high-quality Voices plus considerably en-
hanced effect operation—while being fully compatible with GM.
