Using MIDI
How MIDI Can Be Used
On the GP-100 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 GP-100. The correspondence between
MIDI Program Change numbers and the GP-100 Patches can be
set by the Program Change Map (p. 56). This allows you to select
GP-100 Patches numbered 129 and higher from an external MIDI
device, or to make GP-100 effect sounds match the settings on
external MIDI devices.
With the connections in the following diagram, changing program
numbers on an external MIDI device will cause Program Change
messages to be transmitted to the GP-100, causing it to select the
appropriate Patch number.

Control specified parameters
MIDI messages such as Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, and Control
Change can be used to control specified GP-100 parameters
during your performance. The Control Assign settings (p. 21)
determine the GP-100 parameter that is controlled by each MIDI
message.
Transmit data
GP-100 settings such as effect sounds etc. can be transmitted as
exclusive messages to other MIDI devices. This allows another
GP-100to be given the same settings, or effect sound settings to be
stored in a sequencer or other data storage device.

* When connecting an FC-200 MIDI foot controller to the GP-100,
please refer to "GP-100 Operation Using the FC-200" (p. 58).
Select Patches
You can switch among the 400 Patches of the GP-100 by operating
a pedal.
Control specified parameters
The expression pedal or foot switches can be used to control
specified GP-100 parameters as you play. The Control Assign
settings (p. 21) determine the GP-100 parameters that are con-
trolled.
Edit effect settings
You can edit GP-100 effect settings by pedal operations. This
allows you to edit sounds even at a distance from the GP-100.
Operation Using the MCR-8 Multi Controller
All panel operations of the GP-100 can be performed from the
MCR-8 using the same procedure as from the GP-100. This allows
you to edit sounds even at a distance from the GP-100.
* When connecting an MCR-8 multi controller (optional) to the GP-100,
refer to "GP-100 Operation Using the MCR-8" (p. 63).
