Using the GT-100 with External MIDI Devices Connected
What Can You Do with MIDI?
You can perform the following operations using MIDI with the
GT-100.
MEMO
The use of MIDI requires that the MIDI channels of the
connected devices match. If the MIDI channel settings are not
correct, the GT-100 will be unable to exchange data with other
MIDI devices.
For information on how to set the MIDI channel, see “MIDI-
Related Settings” (“MIDI-Related Settings” (p. 44)).
Operating From the GT-100
Outputting Program Change Messages
When a patch is selected on the GT-100, a Program Change
message corresponding to the patch number is transmitted
simultaneously. The external MIDI device then switches its settings
according to the Program Change message it receives.
When PC OUT (p. 45) is set to OFF, no Program Change messages will
be output.

Outputting Control Change Messages
Data describing the actions of the [ACCEL/CTL] Pedal, [EXP] pedal,
EXP PEDAL SW, and external devices connected to the SUB CTL
1, 2/SUB EXP jack are output as Control Change messages. Such
messages can be used to (among other things) manipulate the
parameters of an external MIDI device.
The Control Change numbers that will be output can be set under
“MIDI SETTING” (“MIDI SETTING” (p. 44)).
Remotely Controlling the GT-100 Using
an External MIDI Device
Switching Patch Numbers
When the GT-100 receives Program Change messages from the
external MIDI device, its patches are simultaneously switched.
MEMO
You can set up the correspondence between MIDI Program
Change messages and the GT-100’s patches using the
Program Change Map (p. 46). You may need to work on these
correspondences when you want to line up some eects in
combination with other MIDI devices.
Receiving Control Change Messages
MEMO
You can control specied parameters during a performance
by having the GT-100 receive Control Change messages.
Parameters to be controlled are set with “Assign” (p. 37).
Receiving Tempo Data
The GT-100 can receive tempo data from an external device.
Receiving Data
The GT-100 can receive data transmitted from another GT-100, as
well as data that’s been stored on a sequencer.
Setting the Program Change Map
When switching patches using Program Change messages
transmitted by an external MIDI device, you can freely set the
correspondence between Program Change messages received
by the GT-100 and the patches to be switched to in the “Program
Change Map.”
MEMO
When setting MIDI OMNI MODE (p. 44) to “OMNI OFF”, be sure to
have the MIDI RX CHANNEL (p. 44) set beforehand to the match
the transmit channel of the external MIDI device.
