manual abstract
Too low All five indicators light up momentarily 5. When you have finished making the settings, turn the PARAMETER to return to “PLAY MODE.” * Sensitivity is a system parameter. The settings are saved automatically when the memories (G1–G4) is changed or the PARAMETER knob is turned, even without the Write procedure being carried out. The settings in each of the memories (G1–G4) are applied to all patches. However, whichever of the sets G1–G4 to be used by each patch (Calling Up Input Sensitivity Settings” p. 18) is a patch parameter. Use the Write procedure to save these settings. Selecting Patches Switching the GI-20’s patches allows you to change the values of settings instantly and perform using a wide variety of sounds. What is a Patch? The various information used in performing with the GI-20 is stored in sets called “patches.” In each patch you can store the settings values for the parameters described below, and switching these patches allows you to reproduce their settings instantly. Patch 50 • GUITAR SEL • BEND RANGE • TRANSPOSE • STRING MUTE • MONO/POLY Patch 03 • BEND RANGE • TRANSPOSE • STRING MUTE Y Patch 02 • BEND RANGE • TRANSPOSE • STRING MUTE Y Patch 01 • GUITAR SEL • PLAY FEEL • ASSIGN • PRG CHANGE • BEND RANGE • TRANSPOSE • STRING MUTE • MONO/POLY System Parameters and Patch Parameters In contrast to the “patch parameters,” whose settings can be stored to each patch individually, parameters that are used by the GI-20 overall are called “system parameters.” The following describes the different types of patch parameters and system parameters. * Patch parameters are indicated in blue on the front panel. System Parameters • SENSITIVITY (p. 11) • MIDI BASIC CH (p. 14) • MIDI CTL CH (p. 15) • PC MASK (p. 29) • MASTER TUNE (p. 28) System parameters are stored in the GI-20 when you turn the PARAMETER knob after making changes to the settings. * The MIDI BASIC CH and MIDI CTL CH parameters are also stored in the GI-20 when you press [SELECT] after making changes to the settings. Chapter 1 Try Playing Some Sounds • MIDI PLAYBACK (p. 17) • BEND DATA THIN (p. 31) • RECEIVE CONTROL CHANGE DATA THIN (p. 32) • BEND RANGE MAX (p. 32) • USB DRIVER TYPE (p. 33) These parameters are saved to the GI-20 the moment you change the settings values. Patch Parameters • GUITAR SEL (p. 18) • PLAY FEEL (p. 18) • ASSIGN (p. 19) • PRG CHANGE (p. 25) • BEND RANGE (p. 23) • TRANSPOSE (p. 23) • STRING MUTE (p. 26) • MONO/POLY (p. 14) With patch parameters, the Write procedure (p. 26) is used to save the settings values to individual patches after changes are made to the settings. How to Switch Patches Switch patches by pressing [PATCH/VALUE] in “Play mode” (p. 16). . Each time you press [PATCH/VALUE ^], the patch numbers are switched one at a time in ascending order, from 01 on up to 50. . Each time you press [PATCH/VALUE Ў], the patch numbers are switched one at a time in descending order, from 50 down to 01. When Not Switching Patches With the GI-20, patches can only be switched in Play mode. When switching patches, turn the PARAMETER knob to return to Play mode. GM (General MIDI) is a set of recommended standards covering the way sounds are played by MIDI sound module, the arrangement of internal sound lists, and other aspects involving production of sound with sound generators. GM- compatible MIDI sound generating devices are called GM sound modules, and these devices are capable of reproducing essentially the same musical performance, regardless of the manufacturer or type of device. About the Display The following information is displayed when the GI-20 is in Play mode. Patch Number Dot Lights up when the settings are changed. Flashes while data is being stored. When the content displayed is three or more digits long, the displayed is scrolled as shown below. (Ex.) 440.0 Hz Each of the GI-20’s patches at the time the GI-20 is initially purchased is set for compatibility with GM sound modules. Setting the sound module to GM mode when using a GM-compatible sound module allows you to enjoy a variety of sounds with the GI-20, just as at the time it was purchased. Chapter 1 Try Playing Some Sounds Setting the MIDI Channel (MIDI CHANNEL) Setting the Transmission Mode (MONO/POLY) The GI-20 features two kinds of modes to transmit MIDI messages. MIDI Message MIDI Message Basic Channel 1st 1st 2nd Basic Channel +1 2nd Basic Basic Channel +2 3rd Sound 3rd Channel Sound Basic Channel +3 Module 4th Module 4th Basic Channel +4 5th 5th Basic Channel +5 6th 6th String String MONO POLY * With the factory settings, all patches are set to MONO MODE. MONO (MONO MODE) In this mode, each individual string uses a separate channel, thus totaling six channels. Since each string uses a different MIDI channel, you can select different sounds for each string and continuously change the pitch data when using string bending and other special techniques with specific strings. However, this requires a multitimbral sound module. POLY (POLY MODE) ...
