Turning On the Power
First, make sure that the AC adapter is connected.
Then press the power switch on the rear panel to
turn on the power (press it again to turn the power
off).
The display will show the following screen:
GK mode
This indicates the normal display mode. The GI-10
has two Play modes: the GK mode, and the MIDI
IN mode.
In the GK mode, the GI-10 converts signals that are
input (by means of a guitar plugged into GK IN, or
from a microphone plugged into MIC IN) into
MIDI data, and outputs this data from MIDI OUT.
If an external MIDI device is connected to MIDI IN,
none of the MIDI messages from the external MIDI
device will be output through the GI-10's MIDI
OUT connector.
MIDI IN mode
In the MIDI IN mode, all MIDI data arriving from
an external MIDI device connected to MIDI IN is
output as is from the MIDI OUT connector. No
MIDI data conversion takes place, so whatever
input that might be made using a guitar or micro-
phone is ignored when in this mode.
Use the VALUE -— or + buttons to switch between
the two modes.
| Tuning the Guitar
The GI-10 has an internal tuner which can be con-
veniently used to tune a guitar connected to the
GK IN connector. Follow the steps below to tune
your guitar.
CAUTION
The GI-10's internal guitar tuner only supports
standard guitar tuning (6th string: E; 5th string: A;
4th string: D; 3rd string: G; 2nd string: B; 1st string:
E). The reference pitch set at the factory is A=440.0.
Refer to p. 16 for information on changing the ref-
erence pitch.
<Operation>
1.Press the PARAMETER
-— or + button until
you have 9. TUNER selected.
2. Play the 6th string and the string number
shown will change to 6.
If the pitch of the 6th string is more than a half-step
higher or lower than E, the display will show the
following:
When low
When high
Now, rotate the peg while picking the 6th string
until the right-most character of the display begins
rotating. The group of LCD segments (forming the
first character from the right) in the display will
rotate whenever the string's pitch becomes less
than a half-step away from the correct pitch.
If it rotates clockwise, it indicates the tuning is
slightly higher than the actual tone. Counter-clock-
wise rotation means it is lower.
