Restoring GW50 Data from the MDF2 (Receiving) Operation - 1. Connect the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer as shown in MIDI connection example A on page 101, and prepare it for sending MIDI data. (Refer to the owner's manual of the MDF2.) 2. Make sure that the right type of data is selected on the MDF2, then execute the MIDI Bulk Dump function from the MDF2. When transmitting one effect program ("1MEM") or one song ("1SONG"), be sure to select the destination program number or song number to which you intend to transfer the data, before attempting the operation. OTHER FUNCTIONS MIDI Bulk data can be received only in the main modes, and cannot be received while a song is playing. Note:Single song data ("1SONG") can be received only if the destination song number on the GW50 is empty. If song data exists at the number, the message "SONG EXISTS" appears. Select an empty song or delete the current song before continuing. Also, keep in mind that types of data other than "1SONG" are handled differently, and no warning message like "SONG EXISTS" appears; the transmitted data automatically replaces the original data at the destination. CHANGING EFFECT PROGRAMS ON THE GW50 FROM A CONNECTED DEVICE This function lets you change the effect programs of the GW50 remotely from another MIDI device, such as a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. This would come in handy if you are using a keyboard instead of a guitar with the GW50 and want to change programs from the keyboard. It would also be useful if you already have a MIDI sequencer system and want to control the program changes from that sequencer. A MIDI foot controller (such as the Yamaha MFC06 MIDI Foot Controller) can also be used for this purpose. Operation - 1. Make sure all MIDI connections have been made properly (see connection examples B and C on page 101). Also, make sure that the MIDI transmit channel on the connected device is set to 1. (Refer to the owner's manual of the device for details.) 2. Transmit the program change message from the connected device. The new effect program on the the GW50 should now be selected. Note:This function can be used from the main modes of the Effect section and any of the Backing section modes. Note:Refer to the chart "MIDI to GW50 Program Number Correspondence" on page 104, for information on what program numbers to use. 103 RESTORING GW50 DATA FROM THE MDF2 (RECEIVING)

OTHER FUNCTIONS
MIDI
RESTORING GW50 DATA FROM THE MDF2 (RECEIVING)
Bulk data can be received only in the main
modes, and cannot be received while a song
is playing.
Note:
Single song data (“1SONG”) can be received
only if the destination song number on the
GW50 is empty. If song data exists at the
number, the message “SONG EXISTS” appears.
Select an empty song or delete the current
song before continuing. Also, keep in mind
that types of data other than “1SONG” are
handled differently, and no warning message
like “SONG EXISTS” appears; the transmitted
data
automatically
replaces
the
original
data at the destination.
Restoring GW50 Data from the
MDF2 (Receiving)
Operation —
1.
Connect the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer
as shown in MIDI connection example
A
on
page 101, and prepare it for sending MIDI
data. (Refer to the owner’s manual of the
MDF2.)
2.
Make sure that the right type of data is se-
lected on the MDF2, then execute the MIDI
Bulk Dump function from the MDF2. When
transmitting one effect program (“1MEM”)
or one song (“1SONG”), be sure to select the
destination program number or song number
to which you intend to transfer the data,
before attempting the operation.
CHANGING EFFECT PROGRAMS ON THE GW50
FROM A CONNECTED DEVICE
This function lets you change the effect
programs of the GW50 remotely from
another MIDI device, such as a MIDI
keyboard or sequencer. This would come
in handy if you are using a keyboard
instead of a guitar with the GW50 and
want to change programs from the
keyboard. It would also be useful if you
already have a MIDI sequencer system and
want to control the program changes from
that sequencer. A MIDI foot controller
(such as the Yamaha MFC06 MIDI Foot Con-
troller) can also be used for this pur-
pose.
Operation —
1.
Make sure all MIDI connections have been
made properly (see connection examples
B
and
C
on page 101). Also, make sure that the
MIDI transmit channel on the connected
device is set to 1. (Refer to the owner’s
manual of the device for details.)
2.
Transmit the program change message from
the connected device. The new effect pro-
gram on the the GW50 should now be se-
lected.
Note:This function can be used from the
main modes of the Effect section
and any of the Backing section
modes.
Note:Refer to the chart
“MIDI to GW50
Program Number Correspondence” on
page 104, for information on what
program numbers to use.
