CHANGING PROGRAMS ON A CONNECTED DEVICE FROM THE GW50
CHANGING PROGRAMS ON A CONNECTED DEVICE
FROM THE GW50
This function lets you remotely select programs
on another MIDI device, such as on an external
sound module or effect unit. Applications of this
would include automatically changing programs on
a second, supplemental effect unit when changing
programs from the GW50 panel. Likewise, it could
be used to automatically change sound programs
on a guitar synthesizer module as you change
programs on the GW50.
Operation —
1. Make sure all MIDI connections have been
made properly (see connection example D on
page 101). Also, make sure that the MIDI
receive channel on the connected device is
set to 1 (or OMNI ON). (Refer to the owner’s
manual of the device for details.)
2. From the Memory mode, change the effect
program on the GW50. The program on the
connected device should change as well.
Note:Refer to the chart below, “MIDI to
GW50 Program Number
Correspondence,” for information on what
program numbers to use.
MIDI to GW50 Program Number
Correspondence
Since the program numbering system of the
GW50 differs from that of MIDI, the following
chart shows which MIDI program number must
be transmitted to select the desired effect
program on the GW50, and vice versa. Refer
to this chart before trying to make any
program changes via MIDI.
MIDI GW50
0–4 11–15
5–9 21–25
10–14 31–35
15–19 41–45
20–24 51–55
25–29 61–65
30–34 71–75
35–39 81–85
40–44 91–95
45–49 01–05
TURNING INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS ON AND OFF FROM A
CONNECTED DEVICE
This function lets you turn individual
effects on and off from the connected
MIDI devices, by using Control Change
messages. Applications of this would
include automating effect on/off switch-
ing from a connected MIDI sequencer. A
MIDI foot controller (such as the Yamaha
MFC06 MIDI Foot Controller) can also be
used for this purpose.
Before using this function, use the
operation below to set the Control
Change numbers that the GW50 will
respond to (91 – 95 or 116 – 120).
Operation —
1. With the power on the GW50 turned off,
simultaneously hold down [SHIFT] and turn
the power back on again. The following
display appears:
