GR-1 MIDI Sequencing

select. This function is typically called Keyboard Thru or Auto Channelize. Throughout the remainder of this guide,
we will assume that your sequencer does not re-channelize incoming MIDI messages. For this reason, we will do
most of our sequencing work from the
SYSTEM MIDI
menu.
1) Press
SYSTEM
, then press
PARAMETER NEXT
twice to access the MIDI display screen.
2) Press ENTER to access the BASIC MIDI channel. If it is not already set to 2, use the VALUE buttons and
make it so.
3) Play your guitar, and you should hear the Part that you assigned to MIDI channel 2 earlier in this guide. Start
recording your first track into your sequencer and it should record and play back your data.
4) Use the VALUE buttons to select the MIDI channel that you want to record your next track on. Part 2 of the
GR-1’s sound source should be set to MIDI channel 3, Part 3 should be set to MIDI channel 4, and Part R is
on MIDI channel 10. If they are not set this way, review pages 2-4 to make the appropriate adjustments.
If you are using a computer-based sequencer, typically you will have Keyboard Thru or Auto Channelize. If
that is the case, then you simply need to change the MIDI channel of the track on which you are recording to
channels 2,3,4 and 10. Consult your sequencer's owners manual for more information.
5) Record onto track 2 of your sequencer. While you are recording, you should be hearing track 1 of the
sequencer playing back Part 1 of the GR-1. The track you are recording should be playing Part 2 of the GR-1.
6) Repeat the last two steps to record onto track 3 on MIDI channel 4.
7) If you want to record a drum Part, set the external transmit channel on the GR-1 to 10.
8) Record your percussion Parts into the sequencer.
It is recommended that you insert MIDI bank and program changes at the beginning of a sequence so the
correct sounds are recalled when loading and playing back sequences. Consult the owner's manual of your
sequencer to find out how to do this.
IV. Recording the GR-1’s Performance Patch
To sequence a performance Patch of the GR-1, you have to set the GR-1 to Mono so that each string is on its own
individual channel. This allows you to use splits, layers and velocity mix/switch Patches in your sequences. If you
are using a sequencer that re-channelizes your data, you will need to set it up to record on six MIDI channels at
the same time. Consult your software manual for more information. The Patch track has to be the final track in
your recording procedure because it is necessary to be in poly mode to record with the multitimbral Parts. You can
actually use any of the Patches in the GR-1, but remember that the effects settings of your selected Patch will also
effect the multitimbral Parts. In other words, if you use a lead Patch that has echo programmed into it, you will
have the same echo on your bass track and your drums. Let’s set up the MIDI Out parameters.
1) Press the SYSTEM button and the PARAMETER NEXT button two times to return to the MIDI menus.
2) Press the ENTER button and the PARAMETER NEXT button to select BASIC. Choose BASIC 11 so that we
are using MIDI channels 11 through 16 to trigger the Patch.
3) Press the PARAMETER NEXT button to select MD, and VALUE the transmit mode to MONO.
4) Press the PARAMETER NEXT button again to access the BEND parameter. A Bend Range of 24 should be
used if you need to sequence your string bending. The GR-1’s Patches default to this setting so you will need
to change the MIDI Out bend range to match the Patches default. A chromatic bend setting 0 is advisable
when sequencing chords so that you can save memory in your sequencer.
5) Press EXIT twice to return to the PLAY mode and select the Patch that you want to use for your final track.
