Chapter 7 Using the GT-10 Connected
to a Computer Via USB

Before Connecting with USB

With the GT-10, you can use USB to transmit both digital audio signals between the GT-10 and your computer.

Installing and Setting the USB Driver

Just by connecting the GT-10 to your PC/Mac with a USB cable, audio signal can be transferred bidirectionally via USB.
The GT-10 uses a standard driver that is found on OS. The driver will be installed automatically once connected with your
computer via USB.
And using the specialized driver, you can record, play back, and edit audio with high-quality sound and stable timing.
It also allows you to control the GT-10 using MIDI messages via USB.
You can download the special GT-10 driver from the Roland local website.
The program and procedures for installing the driver vary according to the operating environment; carefully read the Readme
included in the downloaded file.
What is a USB Driver?
A USB driver is software that acts as a go-between in transferring data between computer applications (such as recording
software and sequencer software) and the USB device when the computer and USB device are connected using a USB cable.
The USB driver transmits data from the applications to the USB device, and conversely, passes messages from the USB
device to the applications.

Exchanging MIDI Messages between the Computer and the GT-10
If you set the GT-10 into the specialized driver mode (p. 91) and connect it to your PC/Mac by a USB cable, you can transfer MIDI
message bidirectionally via USB.
Set your computer MIDI input and output ports to "GT-10."
If you set USB connection between the GT-10 and PC/Mac, MIDI message transfer via MIDI connectors become inactivated.
For more on MIDI-related settings, refer to "Making the Settings for MIDI Functions" (p. 80).
