The GI-10 also provides a “Bend Data Thin” fea-
ture and an “Attack Noise Filter.”
<Procedure for Bend Data Thin>
1. Use the PARAMETER — or + button to select
3. BEND D.THIN.
2.Use the VALUE — or + button to set Bend
Data Thin.
The values available for setting are as follows:
nr (NORMAL):
The normal setting. Constrains the amount of bend
data sent to an amount suitable for the input capac-
ity of the external device.
of (OFF):
No restrictions on the amount of bend data.
on (ON):
Bend data amount is reduced further than with the
NORMAL setting.
What is Bend Data Thin?
To faithfully reproduce subtle changes in pitch, the
GI-10 transmits a large amount of bend data to the
external MIDI device.
When this data is input into a sequencer, however,
the volume of bend data may exceed the
sequencer’s memory capacity, and cause errors.
The Bend Data Thin feature can be used to trim
down the amount of bend data that is sent. The
resulting pitch changes may not be as smooth as
desired, but it minimizes problems with sequencer
memory overflow.
<Procedure for Attack Noise Filter>
1. Use the PARAMETER -— or + button to select
4. ATTACK N.FILT.
2. Use the VALUE — or + button to switch on/off
the Attack Noise Filter.
Set to OFF Set to ON
What is the Attack Noise Filter?
Immediately after a guitar string is played, the
pitch of the guitar output signal is not stable. When
this function is turned on, it waits for the pitch to
stabilize before outputting the corresponding MIDI
data to the external equipment.
Whenever you need to send clearly defined notes
to an external device, you will want to turn this fil-
ter on.
