Precautions concerning use of the GS-10 The following are points to which you should pay particular attention when using the GS-10. Also make sure to read the related items in the Owners Manual.

Switching Input Signals (INPUT SELECT) With the GS-10, you can switch input for each patch allowing you to use guitar, as well as using bass, microphone, USB, and AUX inputs.

When the device you are actually connecting to the GS-10 differs with the settings made here, the sound may not be output, or the effect you intended may not be produced. Make sure that the devices used are configured correctly.

Switching Output Signals (DIRECT MONITOR) When playing sounds through the speakers or headphones while recording using USB, you can select whether to have the GS-10s effect signals output directly, or to output the monitor signals from the application being used for recording (Owners Manual; p. 79).

You can also work with these settings from an ASIO-compatible application (Owners Manual; p. 79, p. 162).

Note that turning off this setting will stop the sounds from being output when the application is not recording or if its settings are not correctly made.

When Using Mic Input or AUX Input Setting the mic input gain, the AUX input level, or parameters related to effect volume settings excessively high may result in unwanted oscillation. In such instances, lower the mic gain or volume level settings to suitable values.

About Cakewalk Music Creator Please note the following points in regard to the Music Creator software included with the GS-10.

With digital audio, only 16-bit is supported. The GS-10s 24-bit data is converted to 16-bit.

MIDI Clock is not transmitted. In addition, you cannot synchronize the GS-10 to the performance tempo.

The remote control settings (GS-10 Owners Manual; p. 75) cannot be used.
