§ MIDI OUT
IMPORTANT
If the GK IN connector and MIC IN jack are used
simultaneously, the MIC IN jack will have priority.
If a microphone or other device is connected to
MIC IN and a guitar is connected to GK IN, the
guitar sound will not be output through the MIDI
OUT connector. Disconnect the equipment from
the MIC IN jack first.
Playing a Guitar with a Divided
Pickup
Now let's try triggering (playing) an external MIDI
sound generator using a guitar with a GK-2 series
pickup and the GI-10.
<Settings for the external MIDI sound generator>
1. Specify whether reception is to use the Poly
mode or the Mono mode. Refer to p. 10 for
details.
2. Set the MIDI receive channel.
When receiving in Mono mode, allocate six consec-
utive MIDI channels; one for each string.
3. Set the Bend Range for the channel(s) used
for reception.
On the GI-10, the Bend Range to be transmitted can
be set to 0, 2, 12 or 24.
For a smoother representation of pitch changes
across a larger range, use the largest value that
your MIDI sound generator supports.(To recreate
the performance techniques of a guitar as faithfully
as possible, try using a setting of 12 or 24.)
When receiving in Mono mode, set the Bend
Range for all six MIDI channels.
4. Select the sounds.
Assign the sound you want to have played to the
MIDI receive channel.
When receiving in Mono mode, select a sound for
each of the six MIDI channels. If you wish, you can
select different sounds for each channel (each gui-
tar string).
For details on setting up, refer to the manual that
came with your MIDI sound generator.
