GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which

guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play

accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthe-

sizer from any manufacturer.

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly

expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard

with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and

effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By

using the PSR-8000’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-

compatible song files.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI

File) strandard with greater functionality and open-ended

expandability for the future. The PSR-8000 is capable of

displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is

played.

• SMF (Standard MIDI File) is the most common format used for

MIDI sequence files. The PSR-8000 is compatible with SMF

Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using SMF Format

The Panel Logos

The logos printed on the PSR-8000 panel indicate standards/formats it supports and special features it includes.
