IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply 301 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.
302 The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
307 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 351 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 inter- ference.
352a This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b 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 initi- ating 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.
355b 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.
360 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 401a 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.
402 Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data 452 Please be aware that all data contained in the units
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 551 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 units memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
552 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.
553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. 556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.
558a To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units
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).
559a 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.

Main Features
Multi-Effects Processor Designed for Bass, Packed with the Latest Technologies
The GT-10Bs original high-performance processors put BOSSs 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 chainthe signal pathinto 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. Its easy to make super-fast tone adjustments, even in the middle of live performances. Just select an effects 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.

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.
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.

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 gritty 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.
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.
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.
When connecting an expression pedal to the EXP PEDAL2/CTL 3,4 jack, set the minimum volume for the connected expression pedal to the MIN position.
When connecting a BOSS FS-6 footswitch (optional) to the EXP PEDAL 2/CTL 3,4 jack, set the MODE switch and POLARITY switch as shown below.
When connecting a BOSS FS-5U footswitch (optional) to the EXP PEDAL 2/CTL 3,4 jack, set the POLARITY switch as shown below.
You can use the special (optional Roland) PCS-31 connector cord to connect two footswitches.
When a BOSS FS-6 footswitch (optional) is connected to the CTL3,4 jack with an optional connection cable (stereo 1/4 phone stereo 1/4 phone), pedal switch B operates according to the CONTROL 3 settings, and pedal switch A operates according to the CONTROL 4 settings.
When using the unit with an expression pedal or a footswitch (the optional FS-6 or FS-5U) connected to the EXP PEDAL 2/CTL 3,4 jack, make the settings given on Using Pedals to Control the Parameters (p. 48).
For more on using the AMP CONTROL jack, refer to AMP CONTROL (p. 132).

A combination (or set) of effects together with a group of parameter settings is called a patch.
The GT-10B can store 400 different patches in memory, organized by bank and number as shown below. fig.02-010
User Banks (U01U50) Newly created effects settings are saved in the User banks. Patches in these banks are called User patches.
A U appears in the display when a User patch is selected. fig.02-020d
Preset Banks (P01P50) The Preset banks contain effect settings that make full use of the features the GT-10B has to offer. The patches in these banks are called Preset patches. When you change the settings of a Preset patch, save the result as a User patch. Preset patches cannot be overwritten.
A P appears in the display when a Preset patch is selected. fig.02-030d

If you already have a clear idea about the kind of sound you want to create, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by starting out with a patch that is relatively similar to what you have in mind, then tweak its settings until you arrive at what you want. EZ TONE CREATE lets you create sounds easily by choosing settings close to the musical genre and the feel of the song you want to compose.
The current settings for the patch you are using at the moment are lost when you press EZ TONE [CREATE]. If you want to save the current settings, carry out the Write procedure (p. 43) before performing the procedure below.
By using EZ TONE EDIT you can adjust the sound of a patch with ease, without having to manipulate complicated parameters.

About the Range of a Targets 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.
When using the footswitch:
When using the EXP Pedal:
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 youve changed the target, be sure to recheck the minimum and maximum settings.

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

Chapter 6 Using the GT-10B with External MIDI Devices Connected
Chapter 6
You can perform the following operations using MIDI with the GT-10B.
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.
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. fig.08-010
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.
Switching Patch Numbers When the GT-10B receives Program Change messages from the external MIDI device, its patches are simultaneously switched.
You can set up the correspondence between MIDI Program Change messages and the GT-10Bs 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.
Receiving Control Change Messages
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 thats been stored on a sequencer.

Auto
Operations are synchronized to the MIDI Clock re- ceived via MIDI. However, operations are automati- cally synchronized to the GT-10Bs internal Clock if the GT-10B is unable to receive the external Clock.
When you have an external MIDI device connected, the Master BPM is then synchronized to the external MIDI devices tempo, thus disabling the Master BPM setting. To enable setting of the Master BPM, set to Internal.
When synchronizing performances to the MIDI Clock signal from an external MIDI device, timing problems in the performance may occur due to errors in the MIDI Clock.
Internal Operations are synchronized to the GT-10Bs internal Clock.

A bank select message consists of a set of two control change messages, the controllers numbered 0 (CC#0) and 32 (CC#32). Normally, you select a sound by using the bank select message followed by a program change message. On the GT-10B, these messages are used for changing patch numbers.
When a patch is selected on the GT-10B, the bank select and program change messages sent from the GT-10B correspond with each other as shown below.
If you wish to know whether the receiving device can recognize bank select messages or not, refer to the description for control changes in the MIDI implementation chart provided in the owners manual of the receiving device.
If the receiving device does not recognize bank select messages, it will ignore the bank select messages and recognize only the program change messages.
6. Select the received Program number.
Use the cursor buttons (left and right) to select the Bank Select number.
When using only Program Change messages to make program changes, without using Bank Select messages, set the Program number (1 128) when the Bank Select number is 0.
7. Set the corresponding patch number of the received Program num- ber.
8. Repeat Step 67 as needed, setting patch numbers to their corresponding Program numbers, until the Program Change Map is completed.

Chapter 7 Using the GT-10B Connected to a Computer Via USB
With the GT-10B, you can use USB to transmit both digital audio signals between the GT-10B and your computer.
Just by connecting the GT-10B to your PC/Mac with a USB cable, audio signal can be transferred bidirectionally via USB.
When the Driver Mode parameter (p. 95) set to the Standard, your PC/Mac uses a standard driver that is found on OS. The driver will be installed automatically once connected with your computer via USB.
The GT-10B supports the following compatible OS:
Windows XP/Vista
Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later
When the Driver Mode parameter (p. 95) set to the Advanced and use specialized driver, you can record, play back, and edit audio with high-quality sound and stable timing.
It also allows you to control the GT-10B using MIDI messages via USB.
You can download the special GT-10B driver from the Roland local website.
Install the special GT-10B driver before you connect the GT-10B to your PC/Mac.
The program and procedures for installing the driver vary according to the operating environment; carefully read the Readme included in the downloaded file.
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-10Bs MIDI connectors become inactivated in this situation.
For more on MIDI-related settings, refer to Making the Settings for MIDI Functions (p. 84).
Before Connecting with USB
Installing and Setting the USB Driver
Exchanging MIDI Messages between the Computer and the GT-10B
What is a USB Driver? A USB driver is software that acts as a go-between in transferring data between computer applications (such as recording software and sequencer software) and the USB device when the computer and USB device are connected using a USB cable.
The USB driver transmits data from the applications to the USB device, and conversely, passes messages from the USB device to the applications.

Chapter 8 Parameters Guide
The format used for parameter names is based on how the names are displayed when the screen is in list view.
The sound that is input to each effect is called the direct sound, and the sound modified by the effect is called the effect sound.
This effect sound is mono.
This effect sound is output with two channels.
This is an effect that produces a long sustain by evening out the volume level of the input signal. You can switch it to a limiter to suppress only the sound peaks and prevent distortion.

Creating Harmonist Scales (User Scale) When HARM is set to any value from -2oct to +2oct, and the harmony does not sound the way you intend, use a User scale.
You can set the corresponding pitches to be output for each input pitch.
1. Set HR1 (or HR2) to User in the HARMONIST screen.
2. Select the screen of the HR1 settings (page 2) or the HR2
settings (page 3) with Cursor [ ].
The User scale setting screen appears.
3. Use Cursor [ ] [ ], dial, to set the amount of pitch
shift for each voice.
You can have sound played on the bass be held continuously. This effect allows you to perform the melody in the upper registers while holding a note in the lower registers.
Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played. Be sure to mute all the other strings and play only one note at a time.

Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume.
This produces an effect like the sound of a rotary speaker.
This models a Uni-Vibe. Although this resembles a phaser effect, it also provides a unique undulation that you cant get with a regular phaser.
With the volume level of the left and right sides alternately changing, when playing sound in stereo, you can get an effect that makes the bass sound appear to fly back and forth between the speakers.

Parameter/ Range
Explanation
Master BPM 40250 Adjust the BPM value for each patch.
BPM (beats per minute) indicates the number of quarter note beats that occur each minute.
When you have an external MIDI device connected, the Master BPM synchronizes to the external MIDI devices tempo, making it impossible to set the Master BPM. To enable setting of the Master BPM, set Sync Clock (p. 139) to Internal.

By connecting your bass amps channel switching jack to the GT-10Bs 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.
To determine how the amp channels are switched when the circuit is open and closed, refer to the amp owners 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 amps effects on and off, like a footswitch controller.
You can also switch this parameter using [MASTER/PEDAL FX] in the AMP CONTROL screen.
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.
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.

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

Preamp Mode
Patch The patch preamp setting is used. This allows you to use different preamp settings in each individual patch.
System13
The systems preamp setting is used. This applies the same preamp settings to all patches.
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.
Fast Patches are changed normally. The unit switches to the subsequent patch without any carry-over of the decay from the previous patchs reverb or delay.
Smooth
The unit switches to the subsequent patch with the decay from the previous patchs reverb or delay continued after the switch is made.
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.
Wait
Although 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.
Immed The patch switches instantly when a BANK pedal or any of the number pedals is pressed.
BankExtentMin (Bank Extent Minimum) P01P50, U01U50
Sets the lower limit for the banks.
BankExtentMax (Bank Extent Maximum) P01P50, U01U50
Sets the upper limit for the banks.
EXP Pdl Hold (Expression Pedal Hold) This setting determines whether or not the Assigns (p. 51) opera- tional status is carried over to the next patch when patches are switched.
Off
The Assigns operational status is not carried over. (Example) If a patch is switched while the volume is being con- trolled with an EXP Pedal, the volume of the subse- quent patch is set to the value set in that patch. If the EXP Pedal is operated, the volume will change in accord with the pedals movement.
On
The Assigns operational status is carried over. (Example) If a patch is switched while the volume is being con- trolled with the EXP Pedal, the volume of the sub- sequent patch will take on the value determined by the current pedal position (angle). If the patch switched to has the EXP Pedal controlling the wah effect, then the volume assumes the value set in the patch, and the patchs wah effect is given the value derived from the current pedal position (angle).

Appendices
GT-10B_e.book 146
Oscillating sound occurs
Is the value for any gain- or volume-related effects parameter set too high?
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 softwares audio input off.
Change INPUT SELECT to Bass 13.
No change in preamp tone even after switching patches
Has the GT-10B been set to System13 in Preamp mode (p. 73)?
When the GT-10B is set to System13 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.
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 cant 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 units 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?
