Chapter 7 Using the GT-PRO with External MIDI Devices Connected
Chapter 7
Notes Regarding the MIDI Messages That
Can Be Transmitted and Received
The MIDI messages that the GT-PRO can transmit and
receive differ depending on whether the GT-PRO is
connected via MIDI to an external MIDI device, or is
connected to a computer through a USB connection.
● When Connecting Via MIDI
The GT-PRO transmits and receives all applicable MIDI
messages through the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN connectors.
When FC-200 Mode (p. 81) is switched on, however, only
messages used for setting the FC-200 are transmitted from
the MIDI OUT connector.
* All MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN connector are
transmitted from the MIDI THRU connector.
● When Connecting Through USB
The GT-PRO transmits and receives all applicable MIDI
messages to and from the USB-connected computer (except
for messages used for setting the FC-200).
Program Change messages and Control Change messages
are received through the MIDI IN connector.
In addition, nothing is normally output from the MIDI OUT
connector, but only in FC-200 mode, messages used for
setting the FC-200 are transmitted from the MIDI OUT
connector.
* MIDI messages arriving at the MIDI IN connector cannot be
routed on to a USB-connected computer. Likewise, messages
originating on a USB-connected computer cannot be passed
through and output from the MIDI OUT connector.
* All MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN connector are
transmitted from the MIDI THRU connector.
