Emulating a GM Environment in Performance Mode

Essentially to recreate the "basic" effect/environment" of a GM/GS/XG
synth in Performance Mode, create a User Performance "template" or TEMP
Performance with the following parameters:

1) set each Part to an assigned MIDI Channel in a one to one relationship
(e.g. Channel 1 to Part 1, Channel 2 to Part 2, etc)

2) set each Parts' EFX OUTPUT to MIX:127, Reverb to 127, and Chorus to 127.
These are "master" Part levels, independent of the CC7, CC91, and CC93
controllers useable on each MIDI Channel. Under the EFX Send Levels for Reverb
and Chorus, set both to 64.
Set the Reverb Type to Hall2. For the Chorus Out setting, I recommend MIX or
M+R.

3) select the PR-D/GM bank for each Part, and Patch 1 (GM: 001 Piano 1).

4) the Pitch Bend range should be set to +/- 2 for all Parts

5) "default" controller values should be:

Modulation    CC1    0
Volume        CC7  100
Panning       CC10  64
Expression    CC11 127
Sustain/Hold1 CC64   0
Reverb        CC91  40
Chorus        CC93   0
