Input from a Divided Pickup
Let's try sending data from a guitar (with a GK-2
series pickup) into a sequencer.
<Procedure>
1. Set the GI-10 send mode, MIDI transmit chan-
nel and Bend Range to match the sound gen-
erator and application, as described on p. 8.
2. Set the sequencer or desktop music software
to "soft thru" so that the MIDI data from the
GI-10 is transmitted to the connected sound
generator during recording.
3. Play the guitar. If the sound generator is
heard, the preparation is complete.
4. Set the sequencer for recording and begin
when
ready. When
recording is complete,
check the recorded result.
NOTE
If your sequencer or desktop music software does
not support multichannel recording, set the GI-10
to Poly mode send.
Input Using Equipment Connected
to MIC IN jack
By connecting a microphone or guitar (without a
divided pickup) to the GI-10 MIC IN jack, it is pos-
sible to convert the input data into MIDI data, and
then record it on an external sequencer.
The MIC IN jack can only handle single notes. It
will not respond to guitar chords, for example.
<Procedure>
1. Set the GI-10 send mode, MIDI transmit chan-
nel and bend range to match the sound gen-
erator and application, as described on p. 10.
2. Set the sequencer or desktop music software
to "soft thru" or equivalent function so the
MIDI data from the GI-10 is flowed through
into the connected sound generator during
recording.
3.Play the guitar. If the sound
generator
responds, the preparation is complete.
4.Set the sequencer for recording and begin
when ready. When
recording is complete,
check the recorded result.
NOTE
If the GK IN connector and MIC IN jack are used
simultaneously, the MIC IN jack will have priority.
If a microphone or other equipment is connected to
MIC IN and.a guitar is connected to GK IN, the
guitar data will not be output through the MIDI
OUT terminal, so an external sound module cannot
be sounded. Disconnect the equipment from the
MIC IN jack first.
