List of legal XG patches View HTML Version

'[#[(owo) What's this?]
This is a list of all legal-to-use XG patches, matching up to S-YXG50. Every MU-series device is guaranteed to have those (and more), albeit the sound may be different, beyond just DAC and other analog differences. (To do: compare and contrast between my MU128 and S-YXG50).

Any other XG device may support at minimum everything here, although we wouldn't know for sure. If you have some random device that claims to have the XG standard, it's worth sitting down and checking against every patch here!

Use this info for the BotB '[[xg (format)[XG format].

'[t[b2]GS patches (MSB/CC#0 set to 121)'[/t]

By setting the MSB (CC#0) to 121, you gain access to another set of patches, reflecting the Roland GS set of patches. Those sound pretty similar to the already-existing XG patches, so they might not amount to very much at all.
Even so, '[l[https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/Specification%20of%20General%20MIDI%20and%20Roland%20MT-32%20patches#Roland%20GS%20extended%20patches[you can find a list of those here].

(to-do: verify those actually cause i'm not sure if everything's in there)

'[#[SFX]
Individual sound effects may be used by setting a channel's MSB (CC#0) value to 64. Not all programs will correspond to a SFX.
