Main Features

Analog distortion circuit

The distortion effects in the GX-700 use analog circuitry, providing the most powerful distortion available from BOSS.

Preamp Built-In

The built-in digital preamp simulates the response of a guitar amplifier. Simulations are provided for a variety of classic guitar amps, allowing you to create the perfect sound for your system.

Speaker Simulator Built-In

The built-in speaker simulator is especially effective for line-level recording. You can specify the type of the speaker box and the location of the microphone, and use the result for line recording.

Illuminated Buttons

Buttons corresponding to each of the internal effects are offered right on the front panel, allowing you to see the on/off status of each effects processor at a glance.

Designed for Compact Efficiency

All effects can be connected in any order desired, including external effects. Thanks to this, you can set up the unit to suit your particular style, and play just like you would with individual compact effects units.

Operation is also efficient and uncomplicated. Directly specify the effects processor you wish to use, then tweak its parameters to create just the sound you want.

A "Harmonist" Generates Four-Note Harmony

The harmonist function adds to the sound of the guitar a harmony of up to three additional notes geared to the key (scale) in which you are playing.

Chromatic Tuner Built-In

The built-in chromatic tuner displays the string names, and can even handle tunings lowered by a half step. During tuning, the illuminated buttons also indicate tuning deviation, allowing you to tune even when at a distance from the GX-700.

100 User Area Settings

Memory provides a total of 200 effect sounds (100 user, 100 preset). Effect sounds can be recalled instantly from the front panel or by using MIDI program changes.

A Roland FC-200 MIDI Foot Controller (optional) is ideally suited for use with the GX-700, and allows you to select effect sounds and control parameters in real time.

Important Notes

In addition to the items listed under "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on page 2-3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
• 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.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

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 mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzene, 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 in 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.

Memory Backup

• This unit contains a battery which powers the unit's memory circuits while the main power is off. When this battery becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with your dealer, or qualified Roland service personnel.

Battery Low !! Please Change

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 the unit's memory 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.
• 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.

How the GX-700 Is Organized

The easiest way to understand the GX-700 is to think of it as a large set of compact effect devices packaged into a rackmountable box.

During normal use, you can select from 200 different sets of effects devices, which are already arranged in a certain order and have appropriate settings made.

To create a new effect sound, you select the effects that you wish to use, specify the order in which they are connected, and then set the knobs for each effects device.

How to Use This Manual

This manual explains the procedures and functions used for normal playing, and how to make various settings. It is divided into five major sections. Read each section as necessary.

At the end of the manual an alphabetical index is provided. If you have questions about operation, refer to the index.

About the Display During Tuning

The GX-700's built-in tuner shows the note name in the upper line of the display, and the lower line shows a graphical tuning guide to indicate the sharpness or flatness of the note.

If the pitch deviation is within +/-50 cents, the tuning guide will indicate the amount of deviation. While watching the tuning guide, adjust the tuning until only the middle indicator (Tuned) is lit.

On the GX-700, the tuning guide is displayed using the effect select button indicators in addition to being shown in the display screen.

Tuning Procedure

1 Play a single unfretted note on the string you wish to tune.

The note name closest to the string you played will appear in the display.

• Cleanly play a single note only on the string that you wish to tune.

2 Adjust the tuning until the note name of the string you played appears in the display.

Standard Tuning

	6th String	5th String	4th String	3rd String	2nd String	1st String
GUITAR	E	A	D	G	B	E

3 While watching the tuning guide, adjust the tuning until only the middle indicator (Tuned) is lit.
4 Repeat steps 1 - 3 to tune all the strings.

• When tuning a guitar that has a tremolo arm, tuning one string may cause the other strings to go out of tune. In such cases, first tune the strings to the approximate pitch (so that the note name is displayed), and then keep tuning each string until they are all in tune.

Tuner Settings

Here you can make tunes settings. Make settings as appropriate for the way that you wish to use this function. The following items can be set.

Standard pitch setting
- String name display setting
Volume setting during tuning

(Procedure)

Each of the tuner settings can be made using the following procedure.

1 Press [TUNER/UTILITY] so that the Tuner page appears in the display.
2 Press PARAMETER [←][▶] so that the item that you wish to set appears in the display.
3 Use the VALUE knob to modify the setting.
4 Repeat steps 2-3 to modify the setting of the desired items.
5 Either use PARAMETER [][] to return to the tuner page, or press [PLAY] or [TUNER/UTILITY] to end the procedure. (You will return to the Play page.)

(Standard pitch settings) (435 - 445)

"Standard pitch" is the frequency of the A4 note (middle A on a piano) that is used as a standard to which all other notes are tuned. The GX-700 allows you to set the standard pitch over the range of 435 - 455 Hz.

• At the factory settings, this is set to 440Hz .

(String name display setting) (OFF, ON, ON () , ON ( ) )

Selects whether or not the string names will be shown in the display. Also, if the string names are shown, you can select between regular tuning and flat (or double-flat) tuning.

< About the String Name Display >

This function indicates the un-fretted string that should correspond to the un-fretted note you played. When this function is used, you can match the string name (string number) being tuned with the string name shown in the display, and then tune so that only the center tuning guide is lit. This is convenient when changing strings, etc.

< About Flat (Double-Flat) Tuning >

Flat tuning refers to a tuning that is overall a semitone lower than regular tuning.

By selecting flat tuning on the GX-700, you can tune your guitar a semitone lower than regular tuning and still use the tuner function as usual. The contents of the display will be as normal, but the pitch will be a semitone lower, allowing you to tune as usual without having to be conscious of the difference. If you select double flat tuning, the pitch will be a whole step lower than normal.

OFF: The string name will not be shown.

ON: The string name for regular tuning will be shown.

ON () : The string name for flat tuning will be shown.

ON ( ) : The string name for double-flat tuning will be shown.

When the string name is shown, the display will be as follows.

• If the pitch is more than 50 cents away from the correct pitch, the triangular symbol in the lower left of the display will appear solid (▲). When the pitch is within +/−50 cents of the correct pitch, the deviation will be indicated in the tuning guide, and the triangular symbol will change to only in outline form ([y]).

• Normally, the triangular symbol located in the lower left will be pointing to the right. However when the first string is being tuned and the pitch is more than 50 cents higher than the correct pitch, it will point to the left.

• Be sure to tune by playing open strings. If you play a harmonic, the correct string name may not be displayed.
• At the factory settings, "OFF" is selected.

Modifying various settings

On the GX-700, the settings that determine the connection order of the internal effects processors and the settings for each processor are collectively known as a "Patch number." The GX-700 contains 200 Patch numbers. This section explains how to edit the contents of a Patch number to create a new effect sound, and then store your new settings.

Before You Begin Creating Sounds

Before you begin creating sounds there are several things that you need to understand.

User Area and Preset Area

The 200 Patches in the GX-700 are divided into the User area and the Preset area.

User area (Patch numbers 1 - 100)

Patch numbers in the User area can be used to store effect sounds that you create.

Preset area (Patch numbers 101 - 200)

Patch numbers in the Preset area cannot store effect sounds that you create. However, you can start with a Preset area Patch, and modify and store it in the User area.

• Independently from the Preset area, the User area contains a Patch labeled "UNDO" which is located immediately before Patch number "1." This Patch contains the last-edited settings. For details refer to "Canceling Changes and Restoring Edited Data" (p.26).

What a Patch Contains

Each Patch number in the User area contains the following settings.

• Connection order of the effects processors
• On/off of each effects processor
• Settings for each effects processor
  Output level setting
• Control assign (4 types)
  Name

Sound Editing Procedure

1 Select a Patch that is close to the effect sound you want to create.
2 Copy the contents of the selected Patch number to an unneeded Patch number (in the User area). (p.19)

• If you wish to modify the contents of the Patch number selected in step 1, there is no need to copy the data.

3 Modify the contents of the copied (selected) patch number.

3-1 Modify the connection order of the effect devices (p.20).
3-2 Modify the on/off setting of each effect device (p.19).
3-3 Modify the settings of each effect device (p.21).

4 Assign a name to the new effect sound (P.23).
5 Storing the new effect sound (p.27).

The modified settings of the new effect sound are temporary, and will be lost if you select another Patch. If you want to save your new effect sound, use "the Write operation" (p.27) to store it.

Copying and Exchanging Effect Sounds

By using the copy feature, you can create a copy of any Patch at a new location, and tweak the effects settings of the original to quickly produce a new Patch. By using exchange, you can swap the effects settings of two Patch numbers.

• It is not possible to use "copy" or "exchange" while you are editing.

(Procedure)

1 In the Play page, use the NUMBER knob to select the copy source (or exchange source) Patch number.

• If you wish to save the settings, use the Write operation (p.27).

Control Assign Settings

These settings allow you to control GX-700 parameters as you play, either from external MIDI devices or from pedals connected to the GX-700. For each Patch number, you can specify up to 4 parameters and the controller that will control each parameter.

Target: the parameter that will be controlled

Specify the parameter you wish to control. The following parameters can be selected as targets.

Output Level
Effect On/Off for each effect
Effect unit parameters
- BYPASS
TUNER

• Up to 4 Control Assign settings can be made for each Patch, but unused control assign targets must be set to "NOT ASSIGN."
• You may assign two or more controllers to control the same target, but in this case, avoid using two of these controllers to simultaneously modify the target parameter. This can produce noise.

Target value range

Operations on the external device will modify the value of the target parameter within the range of the "minimum" and "maximum" values you specify.

For on/off-type controllers such as foot switches, "Off" (CLOSE) will produce the "minimum value" and "On" (OPEN) will produce the "maximum value." For continuous controllers such as expression pedals, the value will change within the range of the specified "minimum" and "maximum." If the target is an on/off type parameter, it will be switched on or off by values above or below the central value of the controller.

• The range available for setting will depend on the selected target.
• If you set the "minimum value" above the "maximum value," the direction of parameter change will be reversed.
• If after setting the "minimum" and "maximum" values you then change the target, the settings may change. After changing the target, check that the target value range has not changed.

Source: the controller that will control the parameter

Selection for the controller (source) that will control the target parameter.

The following controllers can be selected as sources.

• An expression pedal connected to the expression pedal jack (optional: EV-5 (Roland), FV-300L + PCS-33 (Roland))
• A foot switch (optional: FS-5U, FS-5L, FS-1(Roland), DP-2(Roland) etc.) connected to the Control 1/2 jack
• The expression pedal of an FC-200 MIDI Foot Controller (optional)
• The control pedal of an FC-200 MIDI Foot Controller (optional)
• Control Change messages (1 - 31, 64 - 95) from an external MIDI device

Source Mode: the result of operating a foot switch

This setting determines how the target parameter value will be affected when you operate a momentary-type foot switch (optional: FS-5U, DP-2 (Roland), etc.).

NORMAL: The parameter will normally be off (minimum value), and will be on (maximum value) only while the foot switch is depressed.

TOGGLE: The parameter will switch between off (minimum) and on (maximum) value each time you press the foot switch.

• If you have connected a latch-type foot switch (optional: FS-5L, FS-1(Roland), etc.) or if you have not selected a foot switch as the controller, this setting should be left at "NORMAL."

(Momentary-type and latch-type foot switches)

If you use a foot switch to switch Effect On/Off

You may use either a momentary-type or a latch-type foot switch. When using a momentary-type, select "TOGGLE." When using a latch-type, select "NORMAL." In either case, Effect On/Off will alternate each time you press the foot switch.

If you want an effect to become stronger while you depress a foot switch, or for the effect to be on only while the foot switch is depressed

Use a momentary-type foot switch, and select "NORMAL." In this case, the setting (on/off) will depend on whether the foot switch is depressed or not. This type of operation is not possible with a latch-type foot switch.

Active Range: Control Value Range

If a continuously variable controller such as an expression pedal or pitch lever has been selected as the control source, you can specify the range of values which will affect the target parameter. The value of the target parameter will not be affected by controller movements outside this specified range, but will remain at the "Maximum" or "Minimum" value.

Example; Active Range Low:100, Active Range High:127

* If you are using an on/off control source such as a foot switch, leave this setting at "LO: 0", "HI: 127". Other settings may result in the value not changing.

(Procedure)

1 Press [LEVEL/CHAIN].
2 Use PARAMETER [←][▶] to access the following parameter (ASSIGN).

3 Use the VALUE knob to modify the setting.
4 Repeat steps 2-3 to make all desired control assign settings.
5 When you finish making settings:

• If you wish to continue setting other items, make the desired settings.
• If you wish to save the settings, use the Write operation (p.27).

Setting the Output Level

Here's how to adjust the GX-700's output level.

(Procedure)

1 Press [LEVEL/CHAIN].
2 Use PARAMETER [←][▶] to access the following parameter (LEVEL).

3 Use the VALUE knob to adjust the output level.
4 When you finish making settings:

• If you wish to save the settings, use the Write operation (p.27).

Canceling Changes and Restoring Edited Data

To cancel changes ( edits) in an effect sound and return to the original values, use the following procedure. You can also bring back the edited data after editing has been canceled.

< Canceling Changes >

This function cancels editing of the effects, and restores the unmodified settings.

(Procedure)

1 While making changes, press [PLAY] to return to the Play page. The display will show a symbol indicating that the settings have been modified.

2 Rotate the NUMBER knob.

The Patch number will change, the modifications will be discarded, and the settings will return to their unmodified condition.

Even after canceling your edits, you can bring back the edited data and continue editing. Only the last-edited data can be brought back in this way.

(Procedure)

1 In the Play page, rotate the NUMBER knob.

The edited data for which editing was canceled is kept in the memory location immediately before Patch number "1."

2 Continue editing if desired (p.19).

Storing the Modified Settings (The Write Operation)

Patch settings you modify are temporary, and will return to the unmodified settings when you select another Patch. If you wish to keep the modified settings, use the Write operation.

(Procedure)

1 When you finish making settings, press [WRITE].

The following display will appear, and the effect sound will switch to the original effect sound that is currently stored in the Patch number.

PATCHWRITETO 1GX-700Sound

2 Use the VALUE knob to select the write-destination Patch number.

The effect sound will switch to the sound stored in the Patch number you select as the write-destination. This allows you to check whether or not the write-destination contains settings that you wish to avoid overwriting.

• If you wish to store the new settings in the original Patch number, this step is not necessary.
• Patch numbers 101 - 200 are the Preset area, and cannot be used to store your new Patches. If you have modified the settings of a Preset area Patch, you can store it in a User area (1 - 100) Patch number.
• To cancel the write operation and return to editing, press [PLAY].

3 Press [WRITE].

The modified settings will be stored in the Patch number you specified in step 2. When the Write operation is completed, the Play page will reappear.

While editing effect sound settings, you can use the Write operation to compare the current sound with the original un-edited sound or with another Patch number.

While making effect sound settings, press [WRITE] to enter Write mode so that the effect sound will switch to the un-edited effect sounds stored in each Patch number. You can rotate the NUMBER knob to switch Patch numbers (1 - 100).

If you wish to continue editing, press [PLAY] or the effect select button for the effect that you wish to edit. You will return to editing mode.

Use this setting when connecting to a mixer or MTR. This setting is also used when using headphones.

(SPEAKER SIMULATOR) (PATCH, ALWAYS ON, ALWAYS OFF)

Speaker SIMULATOR PATCH

This turns the Speaker Simulator On/Off. Normally, this setting is turned on/off in accord with the Patch settings, but you may wish to turn it on for all Patches when listening through headphones, or when carrying out line recording. Alternatively, when playing all Patches through an amp you may wish to turn it off.

PATCH:

The Speaker Simulator will be on or off as specified by each Patch.

ALWAYS ON:

The Speaker Simulator will be on regardless of the Patch setting.

• The parameter settings for the Speaker Simulator will be as specified in the Patch settings.

ALWAYS OFF:

The Speaker Simulator will be off regardless of the Patch setting.

(NS THRESHOLD LEVEL) (-20 dB - +20 dB)

NS THRESHOLD 0dB

Specify a compensatory adjustment of -20dB + 20dB to the threshold level of the noise suppressor that is included in each patch.

This allows you to make temporary compensation for the output level of the guitar you are using, without changing the settings of each patch.

• If you wish to use the settings of each patch without change, set this to "0 dB."
• This will have no effect on patches in which the noise suppressor is turned off.

(REVERB LEVEL) (0% - 200%)

REVERB LEVEL 100%

Specify a compensatory adjustment of 0% - 200% to the reverb level of each patch.

This allows you to make temporary compensation for the acoustics of the place where you are performing, without changing the settings of each patch.

• If you wish to use the settings of each patch without change, set this to "100%.
• This will have no effect on patches in which reverb is turned off.

(CONTROL 1/2 JACK)

(NUMBER UP, NUMBER DOWN, BYPASS, TUNER, ASSIGNABLE)

CONTROL 1 JACK NUMBER UP

CONTROL 2 JACK NUMBER DOWN

Set the function of the CONTROL 1/2 Jack.

NUMBER UP:

The jack will function as a remote jack for incrementing the Patch number. Connect a momentary-type foot switch (optional: FS-5U etc.)

NUMBERDOWN:

The jack will function as a remote jack for decrementing the Patch number. Connect a momentary-type foot switch (optional: FS-5U etc.)

TUNER:

Two control functions (Control 1 and Control 2) can be controlled by foot switch.

Connecting one foot switch

One control function (Control 1) can be controlled by foot switch.

(NUMBER UP/DOWN) (1 - 200)

Specify the range of Patch numbers that can be selected by a foot switch connected to the CONTROL 1/2 Jack. Specify the range by a lower limit "MIN" and an upper limit "MAX."

(ASSIGN HOLD) (ON, OFF)

Specifies whether or not the previous values of controller sources will be maintained when the Patch changes.

ON: Controller source values will be maintained when the Patch changes. When you select a new Patch number, target parameters which are using the same sources will maintain the previous values of the controller sources.
OFF: Controller source values will not be maintained when the Patch changes. When you select a new Patch number, the effect sound will initially be unaffected by the current position of the controllers. As soon as you move a controller and its data is transmitted to the GX-700, the target parameter for that controller will be affected.

(BYPASS MODE) (BYPASS, MUTE)

Specify the result of turning BYPASS On.

BYPASS: The guitar sound being input will be output without change.

MUTE: Nothing will be output from any OUTPUT Jack; i.e., the GX-700 will be muted (silent).

(LCD CONTRAST) (0 - 15)

Depending on the location where you place the GX-700, the display may be difficult to read. In this case, adjust the display contrast.

NOISE SUPPRESSOR

EFFECT	OFF, ON
THRESHOLD	0 100
RELEASE	0 100
DETECT	GUITAR IN, NS IN
LEVEL	0 100

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

EFFECT

Turns the noise suppressor effect on/off.

THRESHOLD

Adjust 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 guitar sound is as natural as possible. * High settings for the Threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your guitar volume turned down.

RELEASE

Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the volume reaches "0".

DETECT

Specify the point where the noise suppressor detects the envelope.

GUITAR IN:

The envelope of the input level at the INPUT Jack will be used.

NS IN:

The envelope of the input level to the noise suppressor will be used. - Normally you will set this at "GUITAR IN." * If reverberation-type effects such as delay or reverb are connected before the noise suppressor, set this to "NS IN" to prevent the reverberation from being cut off unnaturally.

LEVEL

Adjusts the volume. At the same time, the output level of the noise suppressor will be indicated by a meter in the display.

- About the User Scale

If the resulting harmony is not what you want, you can output harmony using the user scale you specify here. You can make separate user scale settings for each Patch number and for each voice. On the GX-700, make user scale settings as follows.

(Procedure)

1 While editing harmonist parameters, use PARAMETER [][] to access the following parameter in the display.  2 Use PARAMETER [←][▶] to move the cursor to "IN." Play a single note on your guitar, and the GX-700 will detect the pitch and display it as the input note name. You can also use the VALUE knob to display the input note name. 3 Use PARAMETER [][] to move the cursor to "OUT." Play a single note on your guitar, and the GX-700 will detect the pitch and display it as the output note name. You can also use the VALUE knob to display the output note name. 4 Repeat steps 2 - 3 to specify the output note for each input note. * Make settings for each voice that requires a user scale. 5 Return to the normal editing procedure. * When the user scale is used, the "INTERVAL" parameter will indicate "USER." * To cancel the user scale and return to the original scale, rotate the VALUE knob for the "INTERVAL" parameter to re-specify (for each voice) the pitch interval that will be added to the input note.

What is Tempo Delay

Tempo Delay allows you to set the delay to a desired tempo simply by tapping on a foot switch in time to the song you are playing.

(Procedure)

1 While editing delay settings, use PARAMETER [][] to access the following parameter (MODE), and use the VALUE knob to select the "TEMPO."  2 Use PARAMETER [▶][▶] to access the following parameter (DELAY INTERVAL [C]), and use the VALUE knob to set the interval.  This setting determines the spacing of the delay relative to the time between presses of the foot switch (basic tempo: the length of a quarter note) which is considered as "1." The time between presses of the foot switch and the interval setting work together to determine the delay time as follows.  3 Use PARAMETER [][] to access the following parameter (TEMPO IN), and use the VALUE knob to select the foot switch to input the basic tempo.  4 Return to normal editing. For a Patch that uses tempo delay, pressing the foot switch three or more times at regular intervals in synchronization with the tempo of the song will determine the basic tempo. This basic tempo together with the interval setting determine the delay time. * The basic tempo is automatically set to = 120 each time the GX-700 is switch on. * Once established, the basic tempo will be remembered until you operate the foot switch to set a new basic tempo, or until the power is turned off. * Delay time can be set to a maximum of 2.0 seconds. If the basic tempo and the interval setting would specify a delay time of greater than 2.0 seconds, the actual delay time will be 2.0 seconds.

Using MIDI

How MIDI Can Be Used

On the GX-700 you can use MIDI to perform the following operations.

Operations from External MIDI Devices

Select Patches

Program Change messages received from an external MIDI device can select Patches on the GX-700. The correspondence between MIDI Program Change numbers and the GX-700 Patches can be set by the Program Change Map (p.52). This allows you to select GX-700 Patches numbered 129 and higher from an external MIDI device, or to make GX-700 effect sounds match the settings on external MIDI devices. With the connections in the following diagram, changing program change numbers on an external MIDI device will cause Program Change messages to be transmitted to the GX700, causing it to select the appropriate Patch number. 

Control specified parameters

Control Change can be used to control specified GX-700 parameters during your performance. The Control Assign settings (p.23) determine the GX-700 parameter that is controlled by each MIDI message.

Transmit data

GX-700 settings such as effect sounds etc. can be transmitted as exclusive messages to other MIDI devices. This allows another GX-700 to be given the same settings, or effect sound settings to be stored in a sequencer or other data storage device.

MIDI Utility Function Settings

The following pages explain the MIDI-related utility functions of the GX-700. Make settings as needed for your situation. The following utility functions are provided. [MIDI CHANNEL] 1-16 [MIDI OMNI MODE] OMNI OFF, OMNI ON [MIDI DEVICE ID] 1-32 [MIDI PROGRAM MAP] [MIDI BULK DUMP] [MIDI BULK LOAD]

(Procedure) 1 Press [TUNER/UTILITY]. The Play button indicator will go dark, and the tuner page will appear in the display. 2 Use PARAMETER [←][▶] to access the following parameter (PROGRAM CHANGE MAP) in the display.  3 Use PARAMETER [←][▶] to move the cursor to the program change number, and use the VALUE knob to specify the program change number to be received. 4 Use PARAMETER [][] to move the cursor to the Patch number, and use the VALUE knob to specify the GX-700 Patch number that will correspond to the received program change number. 5 Repeat steps 3 - 4 to complete the program change map by specifying the Patch number that will correspond to each program change number. 6 Press [PLAY] or [TUNER/UTILITY] to end the procedure. (You will return to the Play page.)

Transmitting / Receiving Data Via MIDI

The GX-700 can use exclusive messages to set another GX-700 to the same settings, or to transmit its settings to a device such as a sequencer for storage. The process of transmitting such data is called Bulk Dump, and the process of receiving such data is called Bulk Load.

Data that can be transmitted

The following types of data can be transmitted. When transmitting data, you can specify the starting and ending points of the data to be sent, so only the desired data is transmitted. Display Data that is transmitted SYSTEM Parameters accessed through the UTILITY Mode Patch #1-100 The setting contents of Patches 1-100

Appendix

GX-700OperationUsingthe FC-200

When an FC-200 MIDI foot controller (optional) is connected, you can control the GX-700 using pedal operations. This section includes all the information you need when using an FC-200 connected to the GX-700.

GX-700 and FC-200 Connections

* Before making connections, be sure to turn off all power. Making connections with the power turned on may cause problems.  * If you wish to use a foot switch to switch modes on the FC-200, connect a BOSS FS-5U foot switch (optional) to the Mode jack of the FC-200. * If you wish to use a BOSS FS-5U (optional) or BOSS FS-5L (optional) as the foot switch, set the polarity switch as follows. 

Selecting Patches from the FC-200

Here's how to select GX-700 Patches from the FC-200. Start the procedure from the following state. GX-700: the Play page FC-200: Program Change mode * Make sure that the MIDI channels of the GX-700 and FC-200 match. With the factory settings, the MIDI channels of both devices are set at channel 1. * If the GX-700 display shows something other than the Play page (p.10), press [PLAY] to return to the Play page.

Correspondence between GX-700 Patch numbers and FC-200 Program change numbers

GX-700 Patch numbers and FC-200 Program change numbers have a direct numerical correspondence. So, when you select a number on the FC-200, the GX-700 will also switch to the identically-numbered Patch. * By using the MIDl program change map (p..52) of the GX-700, you can change the numbers that are selected.

About FC-200 Program change numbers

FC-200 Program change numbers (1 - 128) are formed by adding the program change number corresponding to the Number (1 - 10) to the program change number for the Bank (0 - 12). Banks 0 - 12 correspond to Program change numbers as follows. Bank 0 1 2.....11 12 Program change number 0 10 20....110 120 Numbers 1 - 10 correspond to Program change numbers as follows. Number 1 2 3.....9 10 Program change number 1 2 3.....9 10 For example, if Bank = 1 and Number = 2 , the Program change Number would be 10 + 2 = 12 . If Bank = 2 and Number = 10 , the Program change Number would be 20 + 10 = 30 .

FC-200 operations

Here's how to use the Bank and Number pedals of the FC-200 to select GX-700 Patches. 

1 Selecting the bank.

Each time you press a Bank pedal (UP/DOWN) the bank will change, and will be shown in the display. Pressing "UP" takes you to the next higher bank, and pressing "DOWN" takes you to the next lower bank. * Simply changing the Bank number will not make FC-200's Program numbers change. The Program number will change when you next select a number.

2 Selecting the number.

Press a Number pedal (1 - 10). The number pedal indicator will light, and the Program number will change. At the same time, the GX-700 Patch number will change. * If you wish to select a program number which has the same Bank number as the previous selection, it is not necessary to re-select the Bank. * In addition to this procedure, it is also possible to change program numbers just by selecting a different Bank, or to use the number pedals as numeric keys when selecting a Bank. For details refer to the manual of the FC-200. * The GX-700 cannot use Bank Select messages. If you wish to use MIDI to select a GX-700 Patch number of 129 or above, use the program change map (p.52).

Control Assign Operations Using the FC-200

Using the control pedal

When the FC-200's CTL pedal is pressed, Control Change messages (controller number 80) will be transmitted from the FC-200. The GX-700 can receive these Control Change messages as one of the "control assign sources" specified in each Patch, and control the specified target parameters. * The CTL pedal can be used when the FC-200 is in "Program change mode" or "Control change mode." For example by making the following control assign settings for a control source, you can use the control pedal to switch the TUNER ON/OFF. For details on control assign, refer to "Control Assign Settings" (p.23).

TARGET	TUNER
TARGET MIN	OFF
TARGET MAX	ON
SOURCE	FC200CTL or MIDI CTL# 80
SOURCE MODE	TOGGLE
SOURCE ACT.RANGE LO	0
SOURCE ACT.RANGE HI	127

Using the expression pedal

When the FC-200's expression pedal is moved, Control Change messages (controller number 7) will be transmitted from the FC-200. The GX-700 can receive these Control Change messages as one of the "control assign sources" specified in each Patch, and control the specified target parameters. * The control pedal can be used when the FC-200 is in "Program Change mode," "Control Change mode," or "Note mode." For example by making the following control assign settings for a control source, you can use the expression pedal to control the Output Level. For details on control assign, refer to "Control Assign Settings" (p.23).

TARGET	OUTPUT LEVEL
TARGET MIN	0
TARGET MAX	100
SOURCE	FC200EXP or MIDI CTL# 7
SOURCE MODE	NORMAL
SOURCE ACT.RANGE LO	0
SOURCE ACT.RANGE HI	127

Using the FOOT SW/EXP Jack

When a separately available foot switch or expression pedal is connected to an FC-200 FOOT SW/EXP Jack, pedal or switch movements will transmit Control Change messages of the controller number specified for each jack. The GX-700 can receive these Control Change messages as one of the "control assign sources" specified in each Patch, and control the specified target parameters. The controller numbers specified for each FC-200 jack are as follows.  * These can be used when the FC-200 is in "Program Change mode," "Control Change mode," or "Note mode." The type and timing of the messages transmitted by the FOOT SW/EXP Jack will depend on the type of device that is connected. Use the type of foot switch or pedal that is appropriate for your needs.

When an FS-5L foot switch is connected

When you press the switch, an "On" (maximum value) message will be transmitted. When you press the switch once again, an "Off" (minimum value) message will be transmitted. The pedal indicator will light when the pedal is on.

When an FS-5U foot switch is connected

When you press the switch an "On" (maximum value) message will be transmitted, and when you release the switch an "Off" (minimum value) message will be transmitted.

When an EV-5 expression pedal is connected

When you move the expression pedal, messages will be transmitted to continuously indicate the current position of the pedal, from minimum to maximum values.

Manual mode (switching effects on/off)

You can operate the FC-200 to directly switch each effect on/off. Start the procedure in the following condition. GX-700: the display shows the Play page (the Patch number is displayed) FC-200: Exclusive mode * Set the device ID of the GX-700 and the device ID (MIDI channel) of the FC-200 to the same setting. At the factory settings, the device IDs are set at "1." The effect select buttons of the GX-700 correspond to the pedals of the FC-200 as follows. Effects will be switched on/off when you press the pedals.  * Movements of the expression pedal are detected as control assign data.

No-Hands Editing (Using the FC-200 to Create Sounds)

You can operate the FC-200 to edit GX-700 sounds. Since this is done by pedal operations, you can even modify GX-700 settings while you continue playing. Start the procedure in the following condition. GX-700: effect editing mode (You can also enter effect editing mode by operating a foot switch that is connected to the foot switch/expression pedal jack 5,6 of the FC-200.) FC-200: Exclusive mode * Set the device ID of the GX-700 and the device ID (MIDI channel) of the FC-200 to the same setting. At the factory settings, the device IDs are set at "1." The functions of each button on the GX-700's front panel are assigned to the foot switches and expression pedal of the FC200 as follows. You can use the FC-200 to perform the same operations as you can from the GX-700's front panel.  

About MIDI

MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a world-wide standard for allowing electronic musical equipment to communicate by transmitting messages such as performance information and sound selections. Any MIDI equipped device is able to transmit applicable types of data to another MIDI equipped device, even if the two devices are different models or were made by different manufacturers. In MIDI, performance information such as playing a key or pressing a pedal are transmitted as MIDI Messages.

1. How MiDI messages are transmitted and received

First, we will explain briefly how MIDI messages are transmitted and received.

MIDI connectors

The following three types of connector are used to convey MIDI messages. MIDI cables are connected to these connectors as needed.  MIDI IN: This connector receives messages from another MIDI device. MIDI OUT: This connector transmits messages from this device. MIDI THRU: This connector re-transmits the messages that were received at MIDI IN.

MIDI channels

MIDI is able to independently control more than one MIDI device over a single MIDI cable. This is possible because of the concept of MIDI channels. The idea of MIDI channels is somewhat similar to the idea of television channels. By changing channels on a television set, you can view a variety of programs. This is because the information of a particular channel is received when the channels of the transmitter and receiver match.  MIDI has sixteen channels 1-16, and MIDI messages will be received by the instrument (the receiving device) whose channel matches the channel of the transmitter. - If Omni mode is on, data of all MIDI channels will be received regardless of the MIDI channel setting. If you do not need to control a specific MIDI channel, you may set Omni On.

2. Main types of MIDI message used by the GX-700

MIDI includes many types of MIDI messages that can convey a variety of information. MIDI messages can be broadly divided into two types; messages that are handled separately by MIDI channel (channel messages), and messages that are handled without reference to a MIDI channel (system messages).

< Channel Messages >

These messages are used to convey performance information. Normally these messages perform most of the control. The way in which a receiving device will react to each type of MIDI message will be determined by the settings of the receiving device.

Program Change messages

These messages are generally used to select sounds, and include a program chage number from 1 to 128 which specifies the desired sound.

Control Change messages

These messages are used to enhance the expressiveness of a performance. Each message includes a controller number, and the settings of the receiving device will determine what aspect of the sound will be affected by Control Change messages of a given controller number.

< System Messages >

System messages include exclusive messages, messages used for synchronization, and messages used to keep a MIDI system running correctly. Exclusive messages are the main type of message in this category used by the GX-700.

Exclusive Messages

Exclusive messages handle information related to a unit's own unique sounds, or other device specific information. Generally, such messages can only be exchanged between devices of the same model by the same manufacturer. Exclusive messages can be employed to save the settings for Effects Programs into a sequencer, or for transferring such data to another GX-700.

About the MIDI Implementation Chart

MIDI allows a variety of messages to be exchanged between instruments, but it is not necessarily the case that all types of message can be exchanged between any two MIDI devices. Two devices can communicate only if they both use the types of messages that they have in common. Thus, every owner's manual for a MIDI device includes a "MIDI Implementation Chart." This chart shows the types of message that the device is able to transmit and receive. By comparing the MIDI implementation charts of two devices, you can tell at a glance which messages they will be able to exchange. Since the charts are always of a uniform size, you can simply place the two charts side by side.  * A "MIDI Implementation" booklet (optional) containing a detailed explanation of the GX-700's MIDI capabilities is also available. Programmers or other interested users can order this at a nearby Roland dealer.

Initializing the FC-200 from the GX-700

Use of the FC-200's factory presets (initial) settings are recommended if the GX-700 and the FC-200 are to be connected together in your setup. Here's how to initialize the FC-200's settings by operating the GX-700. * Set the device ID of the GX-700 and the device ID (MIDI channel) of the FC-200 to the same setting. At the factory defaults, the device IDs are set at "1."


(Procedure)

 1 Press (TUNER/UTILITY). The Play button indicator will go dark, and the tuner page will appear in the display. 2 Use PARAMETER [←][▶] to access the following parameter (FC200 INITIALIZE) in the display.  3 Press [WRITE], and the data will be transmitted. When transmission is complete, the previous page will reappear. 4 Press [PLAY] or [TUNER/UTILITY] to end the procedure. (You will return to the Play page.) When the procedure is completed, restore the MIDI cable connections to the previous state.

Restoring the Factory Settings (Initialization)

If you wish to restore the GX-700 to the factory settings, use the following procedure (Initialization). You can choose to initialize all settings, or initialize only a specified area of data, such as Patch data in the user area or system settings such as Utility data. The following types of data can be initialized.

Display Shows	Settings Initialized
System	Parameters accessed through the UTILITY Mode
Patch # 1	Settings for Patch Number 1
Patch # 2	Settings for Patch Number 2
Patch # 99	Settings for Patch Number 99
Patch #100	Settings for Patch Number 100

 (Procedure) 1 Press [TUNER/UTILITY]. The Play button indicator will go dark, and the tuner page will appear in the display. 2 Use PARAMETER [][] to access the following parameter (FACTORY INITIALIZE) in the display.  3 Use PARAMETER [][] to move the cursor to "start," and use the VALUE knob to display the first data to be initialized. 4 Use PARAMETER [][] to move the cursor to "end," and use the VALUE knob to display the last data to be initialized. 5 Press [WRITE], and the data of the specified area will be initialized. When initialization is complete, the previous page will reappear. 6 Press [PLAY] or [TUNER/UTILITY] to end the procedure. (You will return to the Play page.)

Troubleshooting

If there is no sound or other operational problems occur, first check through the following solutions. If this does not resolve the problem, then contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service station.

No Sound / Volume Too Low

Are the connection cables broken? Try using a different set of connection cables. Is the GX-700 correctly connected to the other devices? Check connections with the other devices. (p.9) Is the connected amp/mixer turned off, or the volume lowered? Check the settings of your amp/mixer system. Is the INPUT Level knob lowered? Adjust the INPUT Level knob to an appropriate position. (p.11) Is Bypass turned on? If the BYPASS On operation has been set to "MUTE," setting BYPASS On will mean that the direct sound is not output either. (p.30) Is each effect set correctly? Use the level meter (p.22) to check the output level of each effect. If there is an effect for which the meter does not move, check the settings for that effect. (p.21) Is "Output Level" specified as a control assign Target? Move the controller to which it is assigned.

Sound Is Distorted

(the clip indicator lights frequently)

Have you adjusted the input level knob? Adjust the INPUT LEVEL knob to an appropriate setting. (p.11) Are the output levels set appropriately? Adjust the output levels. Are the levels of connected devices excessively high? Adjust the output levels of connected devices to an appropriate setting.

Patch Number Does Not Change

Is something other than the Play page (p.10) shown in the display? On the GX-700, Patches can be selected only when the Play page is displayed. Press [PLAY] to return to the Play page.

Pedal Connected to CONTROL 1/2 Jack Doesn't Change Patches

Is something other than the Play page (p.10) shown in the display? On the GX-700, Patches can be selected only when the Play page is displayed. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play page. Has the Patch number select range been set appropriately? Check the "NUMBER UP/DOWN" range. (p.30) Has the function of the CONTROL 1/2 Jack been set correctly? Set the function of the CONTROL 1/2 Jack to either "NUMBER UP" or "NUMBER DOWN." (p.29)

Parameters Specified with Control Assign Can't Be Controlled

When using a foot switch connected to the CONTROL 1/2 jack Make sure that the function of the jack to which the foot switch is connected is set to "ASSIGNABLE." (p.29) When using MIDI to control parameters Make sure that the MIDI channels of both devices match. (p.51) Make sure that the controller numbers you are using match. (p.23)

MIDI Messages Are Not Received

Are the MIDI cables broken? Try another set of MIDI cables. Is the GX-700 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.51) MIDI Implementation Chart

About the AF (Advanced Focus) Method

This newly developed AD conversion process virtually eliminates all quantization noise, and dramatically improves overall dynamic range. It accomplishes this by using two types of AD converters (with different input levels) to convert audio signals into data in combination with a unique DSP method for creating a composite of the separately obtained data streams.
