GT-1000: Control of External MIDI Devices with PATCH MIDI
Please use the GT-1000 PATCH MIDI in order to target multiple external devices on different MIDI CHANNELS. Please see the GT-1000 PARAMETER GUIDE to review PATCH MIDI.
For each PATCH on the GT-1000 you can have a 1-4 PATCH MIDI programmed.
Each PATCH MIDI can send MIDI DATA along a selected MIDI CHANNEL (1-16), a PC#(1-128), CC1# and CC2#(1-128). If necessary MSB and LSB#(1-128) for Bank variation and access.
This is the way in which you'll be able to MIDI control your external devices.
NOTE: MIDI SYSTEM GLOBAL parameters will not need adjustment. Disregard Device ID for now because it's only necessary if communicating to two external devices on the same MIDI CHANNEL.
For this example, EXTERNAL DEVICE #1 and DEVICE #2 are setup to receive MIDI DATA on isolated MIDI CHANNELS:
DEVICE#1= is set to MIDI CHANNEL 1 on the external device.
DEVICE#2= is set to MIDI CHANNEL 2 on the external device.
The GT-1000 can send PATCH MIDI by pressing a PATCH 1-5 foot switch buttons in MEMORY MODE (LED BLUE). We recommend setting up two PATCHES, PATCH MIDI 1 and PATCH MIDI 2 for each U01-1 and U01-2.
For an example for U01-1 set up PATCH MIDI:
Press MENU - select CONTROL ASSIGN (KNOB 1) - select PATCH MIDI (KNOB 3):
Set PATCH MIDI PARAMETERS as follows:
MIDI CH: MIDI CHANNEL 1
PC# PROGRAM CHANGE: (1-128) will correlate to and external MIDI DEVICE PATCH.
Refer to your EXTERNAL DEVICE MANUAL for it's MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE RECEIVE MAP.
NOTE: MIDI RX/RECEIVE may differ depending on brand etc. Some may start at PC#0 others at PC#1. Some simple math calculations may be needed to correlate PC# and external device PATCH NUMBER. Also some MIDI DEVICES have a SET MIDI RX MAP, some have a PROGRAMMABLE MIDI RX MAP, some may have MIDI RX LEARN functionality.
BANK MSB and LSB#: (1-128)
Only necessary if targeting PATCHES above PC#128 use LSB#(1-128).
For this example set to 0 or OFF.
CC1# CONTROL CHANGE 1 #: (1-128) Use the CC# to target specific EXTERNAL DEVICE PATCH PARAMETER or SUB PARAMETER. (ie: TIME, RATE, GAIN, etc.)
CC2# CONTROL CHANGE 2 #: (1-128) Second CC# for targeting another EXTERNAL DEVICE PATCH PARAMETER or SUB PARAMETER.
CC1 VALUE: (0-127) Value for targeted CC1#. 0-127 may apply accordingly 0 = OFF, 127 = ON, OR to 0-100 or 0-200 of a PARAMETER.
CC2 VALUE: (0-127) Vale for targeted CC2#. 0-127 may apply accordingly 0 = OFF, 127 = ON, OR to 0-100 or 0-200 of a PARAMETER.
WRITE/SAVE these changes to PATCH MIDI 1 for the PATCH U01-1.
Go to PATCH U01-2 and make similar adjustments for it's PATCH MIDI 1.
This will control the first EXTERNAL DEVICE #1 on MIDI CHANNEL 1 when switching between PATCH U01-1 and U01-2.
To control EXTERNAL DEVICE #2, create and program PATCH MIDI 2 on MIDI CHANNEL 2 for both PATCHES U01-1 and U01-2. This allows for isolated control of each EXTERNAL DEVICE via MIDI CHANNEL and MIDI PC and CC DATA.
Check and test when switching between U01-1 and U01-2 on the GT-1000 and if corresponding external PC# and CC#s are being sent by the GT-1000 and the EXTERNAL DEVICES are syncing correctly.
