I want to clarify this doubt that I have had for some time.

1.- What happens in the following cases?

7E 7F 09 01 GM on

7E 7F 09 02 GM off

 

If there is no MIDI specification, then what instruments are used or would it just be considered a reset and GM remains the same.

2.- Does GM off also turn off GM2?

7E 7F 09 03 GM2 on

7E 7F 09 02 GM off

Thanks you

"GM On" changes to General MIDI instruments, i.e., Bank Select messages are ignored.
"GM2 On" changes to GM2 instruments.
"GM Off" changes to vendor-specific instruments. Most devices have instrument numbers that are backwards compatible with GM, but Bank Select messages also allow other instruments.
