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.
