override the WARM-UP SEQUENCE by tapping the CHANNEL button once during warm-up.
This will reduce the WARM-UP SEQUENCE interval from 15 seconds to 3 seconds.

MIDI/MIDI LEARN
Setting up MIDI patches is a snap with the GP3. There are 4 banks of MIDI presets available,
FACTORY, USER 1, USER 2 AND USER 3, (refer to the GLOBAL FUNCTIONS section
above) which are selected as follows: Press the REMOTE key for 2 seconds. The CHANNEL
LEDs will turn off and one of the 4 MIDI Preset Bank LED indicators will flash. Your GP3
comes from the factory preset to the Factory ROM bank. There are 127 combinations of channels
and global functions recorded here, configured as Programs 0-126. See MIDI PROGRAM
CHART in Appendix I for details. To access the Factory Program Bank, first confirm that the rear
panel SELECT/OMNI switch is set to OMNI. Connect the MIDI OUT from your MIDI controller
to the MIDI IN on the back of the GP3. Next, power up the GP3 and your controller, then select a
MIDI program number on your MIDI Controller.
NOTE: All four PROGRAM BANKS include a factory MUTE setting on MIDI program 0.
Program 0 is NOT a user programmable/erasable location.
