Controlling External Devices in Conjunction With GFX-8 Patch Switching
When you switch a patch with the controls on the top panel of the GFX-8, the unit can send program change information and
control change information to an external MIDI device. To do this, connect the MIDI OUT connector of the GFX-8 to the MIDI IN
jack of the external MIDI device, using a MIDI cable. Set the MIDI send channel at the GFX-8 and the MIDI receive channel (RXCH)
at the external MIDI device to the same settings.
This function of the GFX-8 can be set up in two ways, as follows:
GFX-8 sends only bank select information + program change information when the patch is switched GFX-8 sends bank select
information + program change information followed by two types of control change information (CT1 + CT2).
