Chapter 3 Convenient Functions Featured by the GI-20
Preventing Transmission of Program
Change Messages (PC MASK)
You can stop transmission of the Bank Select messages and
Program Change messages set in “Switching Sounds on
External Devices” (p. 25) for all patches.
1. Turn the PARAMETER knob to “PC MASK.”

2. Press [PATCH/VALUE] to change the value.
fig.03-05
On:
Program Change messages and Bank Select messages are
not transmitted.
Off:
The Program Change messages and Bank Select
messages set in “Switching Sounds on External Devices”
(p. 25) are transmitted.
3. When you have finished making the setting, turn the
PARAMETER knob back to “PLAY MODE.”
* PC MASK is a system parameter. It is saved automatically
when the PARAMETER knob is turned, even without the
Write procedure being carried out, and the settings values are
applied to all patches.
Saving the Patches and System Parameters
to an External Device
(BULK DUMP)
Settings for all patches-as well as all system parameter
settings-can be transferred in and out of the GI-20 using
MIDI or USB. You can also save patches externally to
equipment that can record MIDI data. For this kind of
operation, the GI-20 uses MIDI messages called “System
Exclusive messages.” Each System Exclusive message can be
interpreted only by the device for which it is intended.
System Exclusive data sent from the GI-20 can be stored in a
MIDI sequencer using the sequencer’s realtime recording or
bulk librarian function. You can also send/receive System
Exclusive data directly from one GI-20 to another by
connecting the two via MIDI.
Transmitting the GI-20’s data using Exclusive messages is
referred to as “bulk dump,” while using Exclusive messages
to receive data is known as “bulk load.”
1. Connect the GI-20’s MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN on the
external device.
Alternatively, use a USB cable to connect the GI-20 to
your computer.
* Bulk data is output simultaneously from the MIDI OUT and
USB connectors.
2. Turn the PARAMETER knob to “BULK.”

3. Confirm that “dP” (DUMP) is indicated in the display.
If something else is indicated, press [SELECT (EXIT)]
and select “dP” (DUMP).

receive the data.
