4. Play each string individually with the maximum force
to be used during the actual performance, and as you
play the string, adjust the sensitivity with [PATCH/
VALUE] until all five indicators light up momentarily.

5. When you have finished making the settings, turn the
PARAMETER to return to “PLAY MODE.”
* Sensitivity is a system parameter. The settings are saved
automatically when the memories (G1–G4) is changed or the
PARAMETER knob is turned, even without the Write
procedure being carried out. The settings in each of the
memories (G1–G4) are applied to all patches. However,
whichever of the sets G1–G4 to be used by each patch (Calling
Up Input Sensitivity Settings” p. 18) is a patch parameter.
Use the Write procedure to save these settings.
Selecting Patches
Switching the GI-20’s patches allows you to change the
values of settings instantly and perform using a wide variety
of sounds.
What is a Patch?
The various information used in performing with the GI-20 is
stored in sets called “patches.” In each patch you can store
the settings values for the parameters described below, and
switching these patches allows you to reproduce their
settings instantly.

System Parameters and Patch
Parameters
In contrast to the “patch parameters,” whose settings can be
stored to each patch individually, parameters that are used
by the GI-20 overall are called “system parameters.”
The following describes the different types of patch
parameters and system parameters.
* Patch parameters are indicated in blue on the front panel.
System Parameters
• SENSITIVITY (p. 11)
• MIDI BASIC CH (p. 14)
• MIDI CTL CH (p. 15)
• PC MASK (p. 29)
• MASTER TUNE (p. 28)
System parameters are stored in the GI-20 when you turn the
PARAMETER knob after making changes to the settings.
* The MIDI BASIC CH and MIDI CTL CH parameters are also
stored in the GI-20 when you press [SELECT] after making
changes to the settings.
