Synchronization
e count timing for two or more GM-1 devices can be sy nchronized.
e GM-1 device that drives the base tempo is called the “source”, and
the other GM-1 devices that will follow that tempo in sync are called
“replicas”.
is device uses infrared communication when syncing with other
devices. Do not use the sync functions around other devices that
use infrared light, or around plasma TVs.
1. Match the protruding part of the
GM-1 that will be the source to
the recessed part of the GM-1 that
will be the replica, as shown in the
diagram.
2. Press the SYNC button on the
GM-1 that will be the source.
When the synchronization is com-
plete, you’ll see the volume shown
on the replica’s display.
e tempo, beat and rhythm of the
replicas will be overwritten by that
of the source.
Muting the device
e metronome sounds can be muted.
