Roland GI-10 - Changing External Sounds; Changing Sounds with GK-2 Series; Using a Foot Controller

Changing the Sounds Played by
the External Generator
Using the GI-10 with the GK-2 series Using a Foot Controller
In P. PLAY MODE, the $1/S2 switches (on the GK-
2 Series unit connected to the GI-10) can be used to
send Program Change messages (MIDI data to
change sounds) to the MIDI equipment connected
to the GI-10 MIDI OUT connector. Program change
numbers 1 to 128 can be sent from the GI-10.
At the power-up defaults, pressing the S2 switch
will send Program Change number 1, and pressing
S1 will send number 128. Press the S52 switch suc-
cessively to increase the Program Change number,
or the S1 switch to decrease it.
You are here first

1126 > 127 128 > 1 +72 +3
GK-2 series
When a Program Change message is sent to the
external MIDI device, the display will show the
Program Change number for several seconds.
Whenever you want to quickly return to
Program Change number 1, simply press both
the S1 and S2 switches at the same time.
Bank Select messages, which are necessary for
selecting sounds on a GS sound module, will
not be output.
NOTE
The Program Change message sent to the external
MIDI device will vary depending on whether the
system is in Poly mode or Mono mode.
Poly mode:
The Program Change message for the channel
specified in C. MIDI CH (p. 9).
Mono mode:
The six Program Change messages starting from
the channel specified in C. MIDI CH.
Ordinarily, while the Play mode is set to GK, none
of the MIDI messages received at MIDI IN will be
output from the MIDI OUT connector. However,
you can perform the steps below to switch the unit
so it will thereafter look for any Program Changes
that arrive at MIDI IN, and send them on out
through MIDI OUT.
<Enabling GK mode Program Changes>
1. Turn OFF power on the GI-10.
2. Hold down the VALUE + button while you
turn power back ON.
The following will be displayed for a few seconds:
* GK mode Program Changes will remain
enabled until you turn the power off.
After enabling processing of Program Changes for
the GK mode, a MIDI foot controller (BOSS FC-50;
sold separately) can be connected to the GI-10
MIDI IN connector and be used to change the
sounds played by the external sound generator.
For more information, refer to the manual for your
foot controller.
