What is Roland GS sound
quality? Roland GS sound quality is a Roland extension of the
industrys General MIDI standard. This standard is a good start, but Roland
felt that it had its limitations, like offering only 128 sounds. This is why
Roland created a higher standard for their synthesisers that are fully GM
compatible.
|
The Roland GS sound quality allows for more
sounds, effects processing, and other synthesiser controls necessary to
create high quality music with electronic instruments. MicroSoftTM, Apple
ComputerTM, as well as other synthesiser manufacturers have adopted Rolonds GS
standard. Numerous music software applications provide GS specific controls.

What does MIDI stand for and what
is it? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is
the language used by electronic musical instruments to communicate with one
another as well as peripheral devices. MIDI can be used for a wide range of
musical applications, such as creating "virtual orchestrations,"
automatic vocal harmonies or to print music in any key on your computer. You
can compose music with a sequencer; back up or restore sounds in a synthesiser
or even control sound and lighting consoles. MIDI data is not a sound, but
rather digital information that can control, modify and trigger sounds in a
synthesiser or other MIDI compatible device.
