FS-1-WL Connection Guide 

(Connect with the GX-100)

This guide shows you how to pair the FS-1-WL 

wirelessly to the GX-100 using BLE MIDI.
“Pairing” involves registering the MIDI device that 

you want to use (making the devices recognize each 

other) with the FS-1-WL.
Pairing the FS-1-WL with another compatible 

device lets you control that device via MIDI from the 

FS-1-WL.

*  You must update the GX-100 to Ver. 1.11 or later 

to use the FS-1-WL.
