The '''GEM GM-X''' is a sound module released in 2007 by Generalmusic, as part of their "expander" series of modules. It features a simple 3-digit LED display and very minimalistic interface, being packaged with dedicated editor hardware for indepth usage.

It features similar "modelling" technology used for their piano focused equipment, for only the electric piano and Wurlitzer tones<ref>"The physical models used in the GM-X are for the Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds." - [https://forums.musicplayer.com/topic/111567-gem-gm-x-vs-gem-rp-x/#comments forum post from spokesperson]</ref>. It also contains tones and performances designed to be controlled with a MIDI Accordion.<ref name=manual />

Beware that the original page for the GM-X on Generalmusic's now-defunct website lists incorrect specifications, accidentally using the specifications of the ''GEM RP-X'' (RealPiano) module. Many modern third party equipment vendor websites with reference information about the GM-X copy these incorrect specifications. The correct information is documented here, and can be found in the manual<ref name=manual />, as well as catalogs of Generalmusic products<ref>[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1EzhSApR9xYt5fMdlj-fvj-4SYlFNtL1q7jqJU4VEyRY/edit#slide=id.p68 2008 Generalmusic Product Catalog].[https://web.archive.org/web/20110505224510/http://generalmusic.us/Manuals/GEM%20Product%20Catalogue%202008.pps Original file]</ref>

Also be warned that the performance list does not match what it is in the manual, as it was changed after the manual's printing.<ref>"the pre-installed Performance list has been updated since the manual was created", [https://forums.musicplayer.com/topic/111567-gem-gm-x-vs-gem-rp-x/page/2/#comments forum post from spokesperson]</ref>
