The System Exclusive Messages received by the AT-90R are; messages related to mode
settings, Universal Realtime System Exclusive messages and Data Set (DT1).
System exclusive messages related to mode settings
These messages are used to initialize a device to GS or General MIDI mode, or change the
operating mode. When creating performance data, a "Turn General MIDI System On"
message should be inserted at the beginning of a General MIDI score, and a "GS Reset"
message at the beginning of a GS music data. Each song should contain only one mode
message as appropriate for the type of data. (Do not insert two or more mode setting
messages in a single song.)
"Turn General MIDI System On and "Turn General MIDI System Off" use Universal Non-
realtime Message format. "GS Reset" use Roland system exclusive format "Data Set 1 (DT1)."
Turn General MIDI System On
This is a command message that resets the internal settings of the unit to the General MIDI
initial state (General MIDI System-Level 1). After receiving this message AT-90R, will
automatically be set to the proper condition for correctly playing a General MIDI score.
