MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" which is a language that lets multiple digital musical items (keyboards, effects, synthesizers, computers, etc. ) communicate with each other. This document can't possibly cover all the MIDI possibilities you may encounter. If you desire more information, visit http://www. midi. org online or search for "MIDI" using your favorite search engine. Basic MIDI Setup The most basic MIDI operations on the G­DEC require use of a MIDI interface device connected to a personal computer. Most MIDI interface devices will use USB or the game port on older PCs and are available at most musical instrument retailers. To get the most out of the G­DEC MIDI capability, connect the MIDI In port on the G­DEC to the MIDI Out port on your MIDI interface with a standard MIDI cable. Also connect the MIDI Out port on the G­DEC to the MIDI In port on your MIDI interface. Dumping and Loading Presets The above configuration will allow you to dump and load presets to and from the computer. To dump any one or all presets (see Utility Mode page 11) you will need third party software running on the PC. Search for a MIDI librarian utility or SYSEX utility from your favorite search engine online that works with your specific computer. You will need an application that accepts SYSEX dumps from external devices. [. . . ] Note this will not record any guitar audio, simply MIDI data from the patterns. You can then modify and arrange patterns into songs using your MIDI sequencer software application and stream the resulting file back to the G­DEC as mentioned above. Connecting Two G­DECs Together You may also share presets directly from one G­DEC to another by simply connecting the two G­DECs with a standard MIDI cable. Connect the MIDI cable to the MIDI Out port of the G­DEC that holds the preset you want to share. [. . . ]
