nal sent to the assigned effect. In the return channels
click-hold one of the fields labeled Insert assign effects,
like Reverb, Chorus or Delay for the effect. If you turn Eff1
up on a channel, then signal from that track will be sent to
whatever effects you have inserted on the Effect 1 return
object. If you assign Effect 2 to a track, then turning up the
send knob will send signal from that track to the effect(s)
assigned to the Effect 2 return object.
The effects are assigned as post Fader; i. e., the relation be-
tween original signal and effect signal remains constant,
even if the fader is moved.
To access edit parameters for the assigned effects, double-
click the effect name in the green insert field.
The number of realtime-effects that MAGIX midi studio
generation 6 can compute simultaneously depends on the
computing power of your computer. The maximum is
four effect busses with three effect-inserts each (with
MAGIX midi studio generation 6 deLuxe) or two effect
busses with three effect-inserts each (with MAGIX midi
studio generation 6).

General MIDI
General MIDI is not a deviation from the MIDI standard.
If an instrument bears the GM logo, this merely means
that the following minimum features are included:
– 16x Multi Mode (16 different sound on 16 different
MIDI channels, the so-called parts); all of them can be
played polyphonically with dynamic part assignment (it
is not necessary to set the number of parts for each
sound);
– at least 24 voices (parts) (24 notes can sound simulta-
neously);
– 128 standardized sound programs (program number 1
is always the piano…);
– 26 Drum and percussion sounds with standardized
keyboard layout on channel 10;
– Chorus and Hall Effects;
– Certain MIDI commands can be recognized (velocity,
pitch bender, modulation wheel, and others).
Most General MIDI instruments provide more minimum
features. The above list is by no means complete. General
MIDI instruments offer two advantages: 1) song files can
easily be exchanged between different systems with differ-
ent instruments, since sounds and keyboard layout are
somewhat standardized. Solo entertainers, for example,
can purchase song files from third parties and use them
