Roland owner manual Bulk Dump, Bulk Load, Using the GW-7 as a Midi Sound Module

Off	The GW-7 will not synchronize to the external MIDI
	device.
On	The GW-7 will receive MIDI Start (or Continue) mes-
	sages, and will begin playing the backing or song re-
	cording/playback in synchronization with the MIDI
	Clock messages that are subsequently received.
	When the GW-7 receives a Start message, it will wait
	a short time for MIDI Clock messages to arrive. If
	MIDI Clock messages are received, the GW-7 will syn-
	chronize to them. If not, the GW-7 will use its own
	tempo. In either case, you will be able to use MIDI
	Stop messages to stop playback or recording.

P.Bend TxRx (Pitch Bend Message

Transmission/Reception)

(On/Off, default: On)

This is an on/off switch for Pitch Bend message transmission/ reception. These messages temporarily raise or lower the pitch of the keyboard mode Tone.

Mod TxRx (Modulation Message

Transmission/Reception)

(On/Off, default: On)

This is an on/off switch for Modulation message transmission/ reception. These messages apply vibrato to the keyboard mode Tone (control change CC#01).

Prog TxRx (Program Change Message Transmission/Reception)

(On/Off, default: On)

This is an on/off switch for Program Change message transmission/reception. These messages are used to select Tones.

Velocity Rx (Velocity Reception)

(On, 1–127, default: On)

This is an on/off switch for Velocity reception. This applies only to the velocity of Note messages received via MIDI. If this is On, the GW-7 will use the velocity value that it receives. Otherwise, the GW-7 will use the velocity value you specify here.

Clock Tx (Clock Message Transmission)

(On/Off, default: On)

This specifies whether MIDI Clock messages will be transmitted. Use this when you want a connected external MIDI device to synchronize to the GW-7.

StartStop Tx (Start/Stop/Continue Message Transmission)

(On/Off, default: On)

This specifies whether Start/Stop/Continue messages will be transmitted.

Song mode: Start/Stop/Continue

Style mode: Start/Stop

SongPos TxRx (Song Position Pointer Message

Transmission/Reception)

(On/Off, default: On)

This specifies whether Song Position Pointer messages will be transmitted/received to indicate the currently playing position in Song mode. If you don’t want this message to be transmitted or received, choose the Off setting. This is valid only if MODE [SONG] is lit.

MIDI Functions

Lyrics Tx (Lyrics Data Transmission)

(On/Off, default: Off)

When playing back Format 0 SMF music data, this allows lyrics imbedded in the data to be transmitted to an external device.

Bulk Dump

The GW-7’s User Tone data and User Performance data can be sent via MIDI and saved on an external sequencer or other MIDI device. Make settings on your external sequencer so that it is ready to record normal performance data, and perform the following steps on the GW-7.

User Style and User Song data cannot be transmitted via MIDI. Use USB to transfer this data. (p. 24)

1.Use a separately available MIDI cable to connect the GW-7’s MIDI OUT connector to your external sequencer’s MIDI IN connector.

2.Press [FUNCTION].

3.Use SELECT [ ][ ] to get the screen to indicate “Utility?”, and then press [ENTER].

4.Use SELECT [ ][ ] to choose “Bulk Dump?”

5.Press [ENTER]; the screen will prompt “Sure?”

6.Press [ENTER] again to execute the Bulk Dump.

If you press [EXIT], the procedure is canceled and you’re returned to the previous screen.

Bulk Load

GW-7 User Tone data and User Performance data saved on an external sequencer or other MIDI device can be received via MIDI (i.e., reloaded back into the GW-7).

User Style and User Song data cannot be received via MIDI. Use USB to transfer this data. (p. 24)

When you execute Bulk Load, the User Tone and User Performance data in the GW-7’s memory will be overwritten. You should save any important data on an external MIDI device before you proceed.

1.Power up the GW-7.

2.Use a separately available MIDI cable to connect the GW-7’s MIDI IN connector to your external sequencer’s MIDI OUT connector.

3.Transmit the bulk dump from your external sequencer to the GW-7.
