Chapter 7 Using the GT-10B Connected
to a Computer Via USB
With the GT-10B, you can use USB to transmit both digital audio signals between the GT-10B and your computer.
Just by connecting the GT-10B to your PC/Mac with a USB cable, audio signal can be transferred bidirectionally via USB.
When the Driver Mode parameter (p. 95) set to the Standard, your PC/Mac uses a standard driver that is found on OS. The driver
will be installed automatically once connected with your computer via USB.
The GT-10B supports the following compatible OS:
• Windows XP/Vista
• Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later
When the Driver Mode parameter (p. 95) set to the Advanced and use specialized driver, you can record, play back, and edit
audio with high-quality sound and stable timing.
It also allows you to control the GT-10B using MIDI messages via USB.
You can download the special GT-10B driver from the Roland local website.
Install the special GT-10B driver before you connect the GT-10B to your PC/Mac.
The program and procedures for installing the driver vary according to the operating environment; carefully read the Readme
included in the downloaded file.
If the Driver Mode parameter set to the Advanced (p. 95), and you connect the GT-10B to your PC/Mac by a USB cable, you can
transfer MIDI message bidirectionally via USB.
Set your computer MIDI input and output ports to “GT-10B.”
However, MIDI message transfer via GT-10B’s MIDI connectors become inactivated in this situation.
For more on MIDI-related settings, refer to “Making the Settings for MIDI Functions” (p. 84).

What is a USB Driver?
A USB driver is software that acts as a go-between in transferring data between computer applications (such as recording
software and sequencer software) and the USB device when the computer and USB device are connected using a USB cable.
The USB driver transmits data from the applications to the USB device, and conversely, passes messages from the USB
device to the applications.
