OTHER FUNCTIONS MIDI MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a system built into many electronic and digital musical instruments. It allows many different devices - not only instruments, but computers, effect devices, and so on - to "communicate" with each other. Some typical applications include playing one instrument from the controls of another, recording performances as MIDI data to a sequencer for further editing and control, and instantly changing the programs and settings on many connected devices from just one device. The MIDI functions and applications of the GW50 include: * MIDI Bulk Transmission - for storing effect program, song data, and other settings to another MIDI data storage device. * Program change reception - for changing effect programs on the GW50 from another MIDI device. * Program change transmission - for changing programs on another MIDI device from the GW50. * Control change reception - for turning individual effects on and off from another MIDI device (via Control Change messages). * Synchronizing another MIDI device (such as a rhythm machine or sequencer) to the Backing section of the GW50. * Using the rhythm, accompaniment and bass patterns to play sounds on other MIDI sound modules. The rest of this section provides instructions on how to use these functions. For all MIDI applications given below, connect the devices as shown in the illustration: Note: This manual cannot cover every application or connection possibility. For more information on how to use the GW50 in a MIDI system, refer to the owner's manuals of the other MIDI devices you are using, or read any of the many books and magazine articles on MIDI applications and setups.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
MIDI
MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a system built into many
electronic and digital musical instruments. It allows many different devices
— not only instruments, but computers, effect devices, and so on — to
“communicate” with each other. Some typical applications include playing one
instrument from the controls of another, recording performances as MIDI data
to a sequencer for further editing and control, and instantly changing the
programs and settings on many connected devices from just one device.
The MIDI functions and applications of the GW50 include:
*
MIDI Bulk Transmission — for storing effect program, song data, and other
settings to another MIDI data storage device.
*
Program change reception — for changing effect programs on the GW50 from
another MIDI device.
*
Program change transmission — for changing programs on another MIDI device
from the GW50.
*
Control change reception — for turning individual effects on and off from
another MIDI device (via Control Change messages).
*
Synchronizing another MIDI device (such as a rhythm machine or sequencer)
to the Backing section of the GW50.
*
Using the rhythm, accompaniment and bass patterns to play sounds on other
MIDI sound modules.
The rest of this section provides instructions on how to use these
functions. For all MIDI applications given below, connect the devices as
shown in the illustration:

cation
or
connection
possibility.

more information on how to use the GW50
in a MIDI system, refer to the owner’s
manuals of the other MIDI devices you
are using, or read any of the many
books and magazine articles on MIDI
applications and setups.
