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 # Controller name General MIDI Roland GS
 Yamaha XG Notes
0 Bank Select MSB ❌ *️⃣[1] *️⃣[2] On GS, this selects variation instruments.
On XG, this selects banks. Common numbers:
  • 0 = most normal/melody instruments[2]
  • 64 = SFX voices[2]
  • 126 = SFX kits[2]
  • 127 = drumkits (sets part to drum mode)[2]
1 Modulation ✅[3] ✅[1] ✅[4] On GS and XG, this is Vibrato by default[1][4]
5 Portamento time ❌ ✅[1] ✅[5] Value 0 is shortest/fastest.[1][5] On XG, it is cent-linear.[5]
6 Data entry MSB *️⃣ *️⃣[1] *️⃣[5] (Used for RPNs and NRPNs)
7 Volume ✅[3] ✅[1] ✅[5]
10 Pan ✅[3] ✅[1] ✅[5]
11 Expression ✅[3] ✅[1] ✅[5] On GS, this is multiplied with Volume to control overall volume.[1]
32 Bank Select LSB ❌ ❌[1] ✅[2] 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 extension instruments.[2]

38 Data entry LSB *️⃣ *️⃣[1] *️⃣[5] (Used for RPNs and NRPNs)
64 Sustain
or Hold1[6]		 ✅[3] ✅[6] ✅[7] 0–63 = Off, 64–127 = On.[6][7]
65 Portamento ❌ ✅[6] ✅[7] 0–63 = Off, 64–127 = On.[6][7]
66 Sostenuto ❌ ✅[6] ✅[7] 0–63 = Off, 64–127 = On.[6][7]
67 Soft
or Soft Pedal[8]		 ❌ ✅[6] ✅[8]
71 Sound Controller 2
or Harmonic Content		 ❌ ❌ ✅[8] On XG, relative adjustment of filter resonance (64 is zero change).[8]
Not supported on GS, but there is an NRPN. (TODO: Some later Sound Canvas models respond to this also. Which?)
72 Sound Controller 3
or Release Time		 ❌ ❌ ✅[8] On XG, relative adjustment of envelope release time (64 is zero change).[8]
Not supported on GS, but there is an NRPN. (TODO: Some later Sound Canvas models respond to this also. Which?)
73 Sound Controller 4
or Attack Time		 ❌ ❌ ✅[8] On XG, relative adjustment of envelope attack time (64 is zero change).[8]
Not supported on GS, but there is an NRPN. (TODO: Some later Sound Canvas models respond to this also. Which?)
74 Sound Controller 5
or Brightness		 ❌ ❌ ✅[9] On XG, relative adjustment of filter cutoff (64 is zero change).[9]
Not supported on GS, but there is an NRPN. (TODO: Some later Sound Canvas models respond to this also. Which?)
84 Portamento Control ❌ ✅[6] ✅[9] Value is MIDI note number.[6] On XG, ignores Portamento Time (always 0).[9]
91 Effect 1 depth
or Reverb send[6]		 ❌ ✅[6] ✅[9] On GS and XG: Reverb send level[9][6]
93 Effect 3 depth
or Chorus send[6]		 ❌ ✅[6] ✅[9] On GS and XG: Chorus send level[9][6]
94 Effect 4 depth
or Variation send		 ❌ ❌ ✅[9] On XG: Variation send level.[9]
Not supported on GS/SC-55, but SC-88 and onwards use this for Delay Send (TODO: double check this is correct).
96 Data increment ❌ ❌ *️⃣[10] (Used for RPNs and NRPNs) (TODO: check this)
97 Data decrement ❌ ❌ *️⃣[10] (Used for RPNs and NRPNs) (TODO: check this)
98 NRPN LSB ❌ *️⃣[6] *️⃣[10] (Used for NRPNs)
99 NRPN MSB ❌ *️⃣[6] *️⃣[10] (Used for NRPNs)
100 RPN LSB *️⃣ *️⃣[11] *️⃣[12] (Used for RPNs)
101 RPN MSB *️⃣ *️⃣[11] *️⃣[12] (Used for RPNs)
