Chapter 2 Using the GR-20 with Guitar Effects
 
Patch Link Setup 
(PATCH LINK SETUP)
 
Here’s how to link the patches (sounds) of your multi-effects 
unit with the patches (sounds) of the GR-20. This will cause 
the GR-20 to automatically switch to the specified sound 
(patch) when you change patches on your multi-effects unit.
 
1.
 
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of your 
multi-effects unit to the GR-20's MIDI IN.
 
2.
 
Make sure that the MIDI transmit channel of your multi-
effects unit is the same as the MIDI channel of the GR-20 
(p. 18).
 
3.
 
Press the [SYSTEM EDIT] button a number of times until 
the PATCH LINK SETUP/TRANSPOSE indicator lights.

4.
 
On your multi-effects unit, select the patch for which you 
want to specify a link.
 
* When you select a patch on your multi-effects unit, it will send 
a “MIDI Program Change” message to the GR-20. The GR-20 
will remember the content of this message, and will be ready 
for you to specify the patch link setting.
* If two or more consecutive patch changes occur when you are 
selecting a patch on your multi-effects unit, the GR-20 will 
remember only the last-received MIDI program change.
 
5.
 
Use the [BANK] knob and [NUMBER/VALUE] knob to 
select the synth sound in the GR-20 that you want to use 
with the effect you chose in step 4.
 
6.
 
Repeat steps 4–5 to set as many links as you need.
 
7.
 
Press the [EXIT] button.
You will return to Play mode, and the settings you made 
will be stored.
 
* The decimal point in the display will blink while the setting is 
being stored. Don't turn off the power during this time.
* If you turn off the power before returning to Play mode, your 
settings will not be stored.
