ROLAND GT-10B - CAUTION - 10

Power Supply

  • Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
  • The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
  • Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

  • Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
  • This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
  • Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
  • When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
  • Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance

  • For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

  • Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on a another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

  • Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit's memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
  • Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer). once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
  • Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
  • Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
  • When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
  • To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
  • When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

  • Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5, BOSS FV-500L/500H with a connection cable (stereo 1/4'' phone - stereo 1/4'' phone); sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

  • Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
  • This product can be used to record or duplicate audio without being limited by certain technological copy-protection measures. This is due to the fact that this product is intended to be used for the purpose of producing original music, and is therefore designed so that material that does not infringe copyrights belonging to others (for example, your own original works) can be recorded or duplicated freely.
  • Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

Multi-Effects Processor Designed for Bass, Packed with the Latest Technologies

The GT-10B's original high-performance processors put BOSS's wealth of bass expertise in a single package.

BOSS COSM effects have been precision-tuned to fully express all of the subtle fingering nuances that are characteristic of the bass. It can truly be said that this is the definitive bass multi-effects processor.

Create Tones Intuitively with EZ TONE

The EZ TONE provides an innovative user interface that enables you to create your own tones with absolutely no special knowledge of effect parameters needed.

Sound making on the EZ TONE is truly intuitive. EZ TONE shows you the way to create the sound with both graphical icons and intuitive terms such as "SOFT" or "HARD." Choose the basic sound you want according to the music genre, song imagery, performance-style. Then you can shape the sound by just moving the cursor on the TONE GRID toward "SOFT" or "HARD."

Now everyone can easily create his or her own tones the instant a sonic image comes to mind.

Phrase Loop Feature

The Phrase Loop feature lets you record and play loop performances, whereby you continue adding new sounds as the loop plays.

The unit provides up to 38 seconds of recording time, which lets you switch effects as you continue to layer additional bass lines.

You can also take phrases recorded beforehand without effects and then apply the perfect tone, adding the effects as you play back the phrase.

A Wide Variety of Tones with Parallel Chain

The GT-10B includes a "Parallel Chain" function that allows you to split the "chain"—the signal path—into two independent chains, with full freedom to arrange effects in each chain in any order you want.

This feature also enables you to change the relative balance of sounds from the two chains according to volume or pitch, and provides you with even greater precision in creating tones.

Works Like a Compact Effects Processor

Operating the GT-10B is like using compact effects processors. It's easy to make super-fast tone adjustments, even in the middle of live performances. Just select an effect type, then directly adjust the four optimal parameters with the front-panel knobs. Of course, you can also switch the display to show all effect parameters to create tones with even more exacting detail.

Equipped with XLR Balanced Output Jacks

The GT-10B features two XLR type output jacks, enabling you to connect to PAs and recording decks.

High-Visibility Indicators

Foot pedal indicators and other lights all utilize brightly lit LEDs. Clearly visible in any situation, whether it be in a live outdoor concert or up on a pitch-black stage, these indicators help ensure accurate operation.

Making the Connections

ROLAND GT-10B - Making the Connections - 1

Connecting Directly to a Recording Mixer or PA Mixer (XLR Balanced Output)

The GT-10B features balanced outputs that utilize SUB OUTPUT jacks (XLR connectors). Although direct boxes are generally used to connect bass (effects processor) outputs to mixers in concert halls and recording studios, you can connect the GT-10B directly to the mixer, which lets you avoid degradations in the sound quality, as well as any additional problems that might occur as the result of connecting multiple devices.

MEMO

  • The SUB OUTPUT level cannot be adjusted with the OUTPUT LEVEL knob.
  • The OUTPUT SELECT function (p. 26) affects sounds from the OUTPUT jacks. The output from the SUB OUTPUT jacks will always be equivalent to the sound that is output when the LINE/PHONES setting is used.

NOTE

  • To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
  • Raise the amp volume only after turning on the power to all connected devices.
  • When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the INPUT jack may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
  • When outputting in mono, connect the cable to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack.
  • Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5 or BOSS FV-500L; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
  • Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels brittle to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as basses. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page. Unsuitable places for connection

Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
- Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

  • Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

ROLAND GT-10B - NOTE - 1

MEMO

  • To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

ROLAND GT-10B - MEMO - 1

  • This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR) type connectors. Wiring diagrams for these connectors are shown below. Make connections after first checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment you intend to connect.

For more information about each parameter, refer to "ASSIGN 1-8" (p. 126).

About the Range of a Target's Change

The value of the parameter selected as the target changes within the range defined by "Min" and "Max," as set on the GT-10B. When using an external footswitch, or other controller that acts as an on/off switch, "Min" is selected with Off (CLOSED), and "Max" is selected with On (OPEN).

When using an external expression pedal or other controller that generates a consecutive change in the value, the value of the setting changes accordingly, within the range set by the minimum and maximum values. Also, when the target is of an on/off type, the median value of the received data is used as the dividing line in determining whether to switch it on or off.

ROLAND GT-10B - About the Range of a Target's Change - 2
When using the EXP Pedal:

ROLAND GT-10B - About the Range of a Target's Change - 3
When controlling the On/Off target with the EXP Pedal:

  • The range that can be selected changes according to the target setting.
  • When the "minimum" is set to a higher value than the "maximum," the change in the parameter is reversed.
  • The values of settings can change if the target is changed after the "minimum" and "maximum" settings have been made. If you've changed the target, be sure to recheck the "minimum" and "maximum" settings.

About the Range of a Controller's Change

This sets the operational range within which the value of the setting changes when an EXP Pedal or other controller that changes the value consecutively is used as the source. If the controller is moved outside the operational range, the value does not change, it stops at "minimum" or "maximum."

ROLAND GT-10B - About the Range of a Controller's Change - 1
(Example) With ActRngLo: 40, ActRngHi: 80

Activating the Virtual Expression Pedal at the Start of Operations (Internal Pedal System)

The GT-10B features a function called Internal Pedal system. This function assigns specified parameters to a virtual expression pedal (the internal pedal), providing an effect that automatically changes volume and tone in real time just the way an expression pedal functions.

The Internal Pedal system features the following three functions, allowing you to set Source for each ASSIGN No.1-8 of the "Manual Settings" (p. 52).

  • When the Internal Pedal or the Wave Pedal is used, set the ASSIGN Src Mode to Moment.

Internal Pedal

With the trigger you have set, the assumed expression pedal starts working. If you have set INTERNAL PDL to Source, set the Int Trig parameter.

cf.

For more detailed information on the parameters that can be set using Internal Pedal, refer to "Int Trig (Internal Pedal Trigger)" (p. 126), "Int Time (Internal Pedal Time)" (p. 126), and "IntCurve (Internal Pedal Curve)" (p. 126).

Wave Pedal

This changes the parameter selected as a target in a certain cycle with the assumed expression pedal. When you have set Wave Pedal for Source, the WaveRate and Waveform should be set.

cf.

For more detailed information on the parameters that can be set using Wave Pedal, refer to "WaveRate (Wave Pedal Rate)" (p. 126) and "Waveform (Wave Pedal Form)" (p. 126).

Input Level

The parameter set as the target changes in response to the input level.

MEMO

If you want to adjust the input sensitivity, set the "INPUT SENS" (p. 127).

Turning the Effects On and Off with the BANK/Number Pedals (Manual Mode)

The GT-10B features a Manual mode, in which the pedals are used for switching specified effects on and off.

In Manual mode, you can switch effects on and off without changing the patch number.

Phrase Loop Play

What's Phrase Loop?

In this mode, you can record up to 38 seconds of material (recorded in mono) and repeatedly play material as a "phrase loop." As the loop plays, you can overdub new material if desired.

You can record a phrase loop with effects, or you can add effects after a loop has been recorded. Adding effects after-the-fact lets you create special effects with recorded performances. It's also a great way to audition tones, as you can adjust effect parameters in real time while a phrase plays back.

NOTE

Recorded phrases are deleted when Phrase Loop is switched off or when the power is turned off.

Using the Phrase Loop

Recording a Phrase (REC)

1. Press [BANK▼] and [BANK▲] at the same time.The unit goes into recording standby (The REC/DUB in- indicator flashes).The maximum recording time for monaural recording is approximately 38 seconds. When the recording time reaches 38 seconds, playback of the recorded performance starts automatically.
2.Recording starts. (The REC/DUB indicator lights up.) Play the phrase you want to record.
3.Recording stops. (The REC/DUB indicator goes out.) The recorded phrase is looped (played repeatedly). (The PLAY indicator lights up.)

Over dubbing Sound onto a Phrase (DUB)

  1. Follow the procedure in "Recording a Phrase (REC)" (p. 59) to record a phrase, then perform loop play. (The PLAY indicator lights up.)

REC/UB PLAY Overdubbing starts. (The REC/DUB indicator lights up.) 2. Play the phrase you want to overdub along with the playback of the loop.

  1. Overdubbing stops. (The REC/DUB indicator goes out.) The phrase you just recorded is combined with the phrase you recorded first and that sound is automatically played in a loop. (The PLAY indicator lights up.)

TERM

Recording on top of an existing performance is called "overdubbing."

MEMO

If you want to overdub additional material, repeat steps 2 and 3.

Deleting a Phrase (CLEAR)

The procedure for deleting a phrase differs according to the setting of the Clear Pdl parameter.

Chapter 6 Using the GT-10B with External MIDI Devices Connected

What Can You Do with MIDI?

You can perform the following operations using MIDI with the GT-10B.

MEMO

The use of MIDI requires that the MIDI channels of the connected devices match. If the MIDI channel settings are not correct, the GT-10B will be unable to exchange data with other MIDI devices.

Operating From the GT-10B

Outputting Program Change Messages

When a patch is selected on the GT-10B, a Program Change message corresponding to the patch number is transmitted simultaneously. The external MIDI device then switches its settings according to the Program Change message it receives.

ROLAND GT-10B - Outputting Program Change Messages - 1

Outputting Control Change Messages

Data describing the actions of the CTL pedal, EXP Pedal, EXP PEDAL SW, and external devices connected to the EXP PEDAL 2/CTL 3, 4 jack are output as Control Change messages. Such messages can be used to (among other things) manipulate the parameters of an external MIDI device.

Transmitting Data

You can use Exclusive messages to transmit the settings for effect sounds and other content stored in the GT-10B to other MIDI devices. For example, you can provide another GT-10B with the same settings, and save effect sound settings to a sequencer or other device.

Remotely Controlling the GT-10B Using an External MIDI Device

Switching Patch Numbers

When the GT-10B receives Program Change messages from the external MIDI device, its patches are simultaneously switched.

MEMO

You can set up the correspondence between MIDI Program Change messages and the GT-10B's patches using the Program Change Map (p. 88). You may need to work on these correspondences when you want to line up some effects in combination with other MIDI devices.

The connections shown in the figure below are for a sequencer automatically performing the backing as a bass is being played. The patches are switched automatically when the program numbers corresponding to the patches are input along with the performance data at the points where you have determined the GT-10B patches are to be switched.

ROLAND GT-10B - MEMO - 1

Receiving Control Change Messages

MEMO

You can control specified parameters during a performance by having the GT-10B receive Control Change messages. Parameters to be controlled are set with "Manual Settings" (p. 52).

Receiving Data

The GT-10B can receive data transmitted from another GT-10B, as well as data that's been stored on a sequencer.

Exchanging MIDI Messages between the Computer and the GT-10B

If the Driver Mode parameter set to the Advanced (p. 95), and you connect the GT-10B to your PC/Mac by a USB cable, you can transfer MIDI message bidirectionally via USB.

Set your computer MIDI input and output ports to "GT-10B."

However, MIDI message transfer via GT-10B's MIDI connectors become inactivated in this situation.

This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song.MEMOIf, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
Depth
0-100Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect.TIPTo use it for doubling effect, set the value to 0.
Pre Delay
0.0ms-40.0msAdjusts the time needed for the effect sound to be output after the direct sound has been output. By setting a longer pre delay time, you can obtain an effect that sounds like more than one sound is being played at the same time (doubling effect).
Low Cut (Low Cut Filter)
Flat, 55Hz-800HzThis sets the frequency at which the low cut filter begins to take effect. When "Flat" is selected, the low cut filter will have no effect.
High Cut (High Cut Filter)
700Hz-11.0kHz,FlatThis sets the frequency at which the high cut filter begins to take effect. When "Flat" is selected, the high cut filter will have no effect.
EffectLev (Effect Level)
0-100Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

REVERB

STEREO

This effect adds reverberation to the sound.

Parameter/RangeExplanation
REVERB ON/OFF
Off, OnTurns the REVERB effect on/off. Pressing [RE-VERB] switches On and Off.
Type
This selects the reverb type. Various different simulations of space are offered.
AmbienceSimulates an ambience mic (off-mic, placed at a distance from the sound source) used in recording and other applications. Rather than empa-sizing the reverberation, this reverb is used to produce a sense of openness and depth.
RoomSimulates the reverberation in a small room. Provides warm reverberations.
Hall 1Simulates the reverberation in a concert hall. Provides clear and spacious reverberations.
Hall 2Simulates the reverberation in a concert hall. Provides mild reverberations.
PlateSimulates plate reverberation (a reverb unit that uses the vibration of a metallic plate). Pro-vides a metallic sound with a distinct upper range.
SpringThis simulates the sound of a bass amp's built-in spring reverb.
ModulateThis reverb adds the wavering sound found in hall reverb to provide an extremely pleasant re-verb sound.
Rev Time (Reverb Time)
0.1s–10.0sAdjusts the length (time) of reverberation.
Pre Delay
0ms–500msAdjusts the time until the reverb sound ap-pears.
Low Cut (Low Cut Filter)
Flat, 55Hz–800HzThis sets the frequency at which the low cut fil-ter begins to take effect. When “Flat” is select-ed, the low cut filter will have no effect.
High Cut (High Cut Filter)
700Hz–11.0kHz, FlatThis sets the frequency at which the high cut fil-ter begins to take effect. When “Flat” is select-ed, the high cut filter will have no effect.
Density
0–10Adjusts the density of the reverb sound.
EffectLev (Effect Level)
0–100Adjusts the volume of the reverb sound.
DirectLev (Direct Level)
0–100Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

SEND/RETURN

MONO

This allows you to connect an external effects device to the SEND and RETURN jacks and use it as part of the GT-10B's effects.

Parameter/RangeExplanation
SEND/RETURN ON/OFF
Off, OnSwitches the SEND/RETURN on/off. Pressing [MASTER/PEDAL FX] switches On and Off.
Mode
Switches the SEND/RETURN mode.
NormalOutputs the input to SEND/RETURN to the SEND jack and the input from the RE-TURN jack to the circuit post-SEND/RE-TURN. Use this when you want to connect an external effects device serially in the GT-10B's effects chain.
SEND RETURN
Direct MixOutputs the input to SEND/RETURN to the SEND jack, mixes the input from the RETURN jack with the input to SEND/RETURN (the direct sound), then outputs this to the circuit post-SEND/RETURN. Use this when you want to mix the GT-10B's effects sounds together with the sound with the external effects device applied to it.
SEND RETURN
Branch OutOutputs the input to SEND/RETURN to the SEND jack. The input from the RE-TURN jack is disregarded. For example, using this with the GT-10B's reverb and delay immediately ahead of the SEND/RETURN allows you to use the SEND jack as a direct out.
SEND
Send Lev (Send Level)
0-200Adjusts the volume of the output to the external effects device.
ReturnLev (Return Level)
0-200Adjusts the volume of the input from the external effects device.

AMP CONTROL

By connecting your bass amp's channel switching jack to the GT-10B's AMP CONTROL jack, you can then use Amp Control to switch the amp channel.

This combining of the GT-10B and the amp channels allows you to get an even wider variety of distortion sounds.

Since the Amp Control setting is handled as one of the effects parameters saved to each individual patch, it allows you to switch bass amp channels with each patch.

Parameter/RangeExplanation
Amp Control
OffClosed Bass Amp (Amp's channel switching jack) GT-10B (AMP CONTROL jack)
OnOpen Bass Amp (Amp's channel switching jack) GT-10B (AMP CONTROL jack)

MEMO

  • To determine how the amp channels are switched when the circuit is open and closed, refer to the amp owner's manual, or actually confirm the sounds by operating the amp.
  • Note that, depending on the circuitry of the channel switching jack in the bass amp used, the Amp Control function may not operate.
  • With Amp Control, not only can you switch amp channels, you can also use it to switch the amp's effects on and off, like a footswitch controller.
  • You can also switch this parameter using [MASTER/PEDAL FX] in the AMP CONTROL screen.

NS1/NS2 (Noise Suppressor)

STEREO

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by bass pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the bass sound (the way in which the bass sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the bass sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.

TIP

Please connect the noise suppressor in the signal path prior to the reverberation type effect. This setup will prevent unnatural break of the reverberation type effect.

Parameter/RangeExplanation
NS1, NS2 ON/OFF (Noise Suppressor ON/OFF)
Off, OnSwitches the noise suppressor effect on/off. Pressing [MASTER/PEDAL FX] switches On and Off.
Threshold
0-100Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the bass sound is as natural as possible. MEMO High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your bass volume turned down.
Release
0-100Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the noise level reaches “0.”
Detect
This controls the noise suppressor based on the volume level for the point specified in Detect.
InputInput volume from input jack.
NS InputNoise suppressor input volume.

Preamp Mode
PatchThe patch preamp setting is used. This allows you to use different preamp settings in each individual patch.
System1-3The system's preamp setting is used. This applies the same preamp settings to all patches. MEMO Pressing EZ TONE [CREATE] automatically switches Preamp Mode to Patch.
Patch ChgMode (Patch Change Mode)
This setting determines whether or not the decay of reverb, delay, and similar effects continue when patches are switched on the GT-10B.
FastPatches are changed normally. The unit switches to the subsequent patch without any carry-over of the decay from the previous patch's reverb or delay.
SmoothThe unit switches to the subsequent patch with the decay from the previous patch's reverb or delay continued after the switch is made. MEMO To ensure smooth switching, the patches may be switched with a delay of one tempo beat.
Bank Chg Mode
This sets the timing with which the GT-10B switches to the next patch when switching banks with the pedals.
WaitAlthough the indication in the display is updated to reflect the change in the bank when a BANK pedal is pressed, the patch will not change until a number pedal has been pressed.

Lower these values.
Is the INPUT SELECT (p. 63) set to "USB In?"
When set to "USB In," audio signals may, depending on the software settings, end up looping. You can use the following methods to prevent this from happening.

  • Stop playback with the software, and set Soft Thru to Off.
  • Switch the software's audio input off.
  • Change INPUT SELECT to "Bass 1-3."

No change in preamp tone even after switching patches

Has the GT-10B been set to "System1-3" in Preamp mode (p. 73)?
When the GT-10B is set to "System1-3" in Preamp mode, the preamp settings do not change when patches are switched.

To make different preamp settings for individual patches, choose the "Patch" setting in Preamp mode.

Unable to change parameters with the knobs or dial

Are you using the Internal Pedal System (p. 55) in Assign?
When the Assign Source is set to "INTERNAL PDL", "WAVE PDL," or "INPUT LEVEL" the effect parameter set as the Assign Target changes automatically. If you want to be able to change the parameters manually with the knobs and dial, first switch off Assign to deactivate the Internal Pedal System.

Is "INPUT LEVEL" (p. 51) set as the Assign Source in Assign?
When "INPUT LEVEL" is set for the Assign Source, the effect parameter set as the Assign Target changes automatically according to the level of the input from the bass (the playing dynamics).

If you want to be able to change the parameters manually with the knobs and dial, first switch off Assign.

Other Problems

Patch does not change

Is something other than the Play screen shown in the display?
On the GT-10B, patches can be selected only when the Play screen is displayed. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen (p. 25).

Parameters specified with Assign can't be controlled

Could the effect be switched off?
To control a parameter using the EXP Pedal or footswitch, make sure the effect that contains the parameter you intend to control is switched on.
Is Prefernc ("preference") for Pedal Function set to the "System" setting?
Even when an assignment setting has been made for the patch, the setting made for Pedal Function (p. 48) takes precedence. To enable the setting made for the patch, for Pedal Function set the preference for the relevant controller to "Patch."
- Do the MIDI channel settings of both devices match?
Make sure that the MIDI channels of both devices match (p. 84).
- Do the controller number settings of both devices match?
Make sure that the controller number of both devices match (p. 126).
Could the expression pedal be out of adjustment?
Although the unit's expression pedal has been set for optimal operation at the factory, extended use and certain operating environments can result in the pedal going out of adjustment. Adjust the expression pedal (p. 81).

MIDI messages are not transmitted/received

Are the MIDI cables broken?
Try another set of MIDI cables.
Is the GT-10B correctly connected to the other MIDI device?
Check connections with the other MIDI device.
- Do the MIDI channel settings of both devices match?
Make sure that the MIDI channels of both devices match (p. 84).
- When you send messages from the GT-10B, make sure the GT-10B is set to the settings appropriate for sending data.
Check the on/off status for transmission of program change messages (p. 86) and the settings for the controller numbers to be transmitted (p. 86).
