Introduction
FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the GI-10 guitar MIDI interface.
The GI-10 is a guitar MIDI interface that converts information about what is played on a gui-
tar into MIDI messages. While offering fast response, it is very easy to operate. Even new-
comers to the realm of electronic instruments should easily be able to quickly achieve the
results they expect.
To get the most out of your GI-10, and assure many years of problem-free service, please read
this manual thoroughly before using it.
Fast Response
Leading-edge pitch detection technology assures unsurpassed speed for guitar-to-MIDI con-
version.
Microphone Input
Allows voice or other forms of input to also be output as MIDI data.
Simple, Easy-to-Grasp Operation
Since there are only four buttons to be concerned with, even those who are new to electronic
instruments can be up-and-running in no time. Moreover, all the available parameters and
values appear right on the panel, so it’s easy to tell at a glance where a particular parameter
or setting is.
External Pedal Jacks
After connecting an expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately) to the expression jack, you will
be able to use it to output data which alters the volume or applies vibrato. Also, a pedal
switch (DP-2, BOSS FS-5U; sold separately) can be connected to the hold jack and used to
output “hold” messages to your external MIDI device.
Mountable on 19-inch Rack
The optional RAD-50 rack mount adapter (sold separately) lets you mount the GI-10 on a
rack.
