Using MIDI
How MIDI Can Be Used
On the GX-700 you can use MIDI to perform the following
operations.
Operations from External MIDI Devices
Select Patches
Program Change messages received from an external MIDI
device can select Patches on the СХ-700. The correspon-
dence between MIDI Program Change numbers and the GX-
700 Patches can be set by the Program Change Map (p.52).
This allows you to select GX-700 Patches numbered 129 and
higher from an external MIDI device, or to make GX-700
effect sounds match the settings on external MIDI devices.
With the connections in the following diagram, changing
program change numbers on an external MIDI device will
cause Program Change messages to be transmitted to the GX-
700, causing it to select the appropriate Patch number.

Control specified parameters
Control Change can be used to control specified GX-700
parameters during your performance. The Control Assign
settings (p.23) determine the GX-700 parameter that is con-
trolled by each MIDI message.
Transmit data
GX-700 settings such as effect sounds etc. can be transmitted
as exclusive messages to other MIDI devices. This allows
another GX-700 to be given the same settings, or effect sound
settings to be stored in a sequencer or other data storage
device.
