This is a help page listing which MIDI messages can be used for common things across General MIDI, Roland GS and Yamaha XG.

Note that there doesn't seem to be a formal GS standard that is publicly available, so the Roland SC-55mkII manual is the best reference for GS.

Control Change messages
Ctrl # Function General MIDI Roland GS
 Yamaha XG Notes
0 Bank Select MSB ❌ *️⃣[1] *️⃣ On GS, this selects variation instruments.
On XG, this selects banks. Common numbers:
  • 0 = most normal instruments
  • 126 = SFX
  • 127 = drumkits (sets part to drum mode)
1 Modulation ✅[2] ✅[1] ✅ Vibrato by default
5 Portamento time ❌ ✅[1] Value 0 is fastest
6 Data entry MSB *️⃣ *️⃣[1] *️⃣ (Used for RPNs and NRPNs)
7 Volume ✅[2] ✅[1] ✅
10 Pan ✅[2] ✅[1] ✅
11 Expression ✅[2] ✅[1] ✅ On GS, this is multiplied with Volume to control overall volume.[1]
32 Bank Select LSB ❌ ❌[1] ✅ On GS/the SC-55, this does nothing. But the SC-88 onwards use this to select maps:
  • 0 = default
  • 1 = SC-55
  • 2 = SC-88
  • 3 = SC-88 Pro
  • 4 = SC-8850/SC-8820

On XG, this selects variation instruments.

38 Data entry LSB *️⃣ *️⃣[1] *️⃣ (Used for RPNs and NRPNs)
64 Sustain ✅[2] ✅[3] ✅ AKA Hold1[3]. 0–63 = Off, 64–127 = On.[3]
65 Portamento ❌ ✅[3] 0–63 = Off, 64–127 = On.[3]
66 Sostenuto ❌ ✅[3] 0–63 = Off, 64–127 = On.[3]
67 Soft ❌ ✅[3]
84 Portamento Control ❌ ✅[3] Value is MIDI note number.[3]
91 Effect 1 depth ❌ ✅[3] ✅ GS and XG: Reverb send level
93 Effect 3 depth ❌ ✅[3] ✅ GS and XG: Chorus send level
98 NRPN LSB ❌ *️⃣[3] *️⃣ (Used for NRPNs)
99 NRPN MSB ❌ *️⃣[3] *️⃣ (Used for NRPNs)
100 RPN LSB *️⃣ *️⃣[4] *️⃣ (Used for RPNs)
101 RPN MSB *️⃣ *️⃣[4] *️⃣ (Used for RPNs)
