3 S ETTING UP THE H ARDWARE
MIDI C ONNECTIONS
Unless you are using the GT-10 USB connection, first make sure you have a
soundcard with MIDI output or some other MIDI interface unit!
If your soundcard has the MIDI connections on the gameport (a 25-way D-
connector), then you will need an adapter. Try and get an adapter that includes an
“opto-isolator” in the MIDI input. This is required to meet the MIDI specification,
but some adapters don’t include it as it adds cost to the adapter. Sometimes this
works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Connect one MIDI lead from the PC OUT to the GT- IN, and connect the second
MIDI lead from the PC IN to the GT- OUT.
C AN I DAMAGE ANYTHING ?
No! The MIDI interface is robust. If you connect IN to IN and OUT to OUT by
mistake, no damage should occur.
If you send data intended for another device to your GT- (for example if you send
a GT-3 patch to your GT-6), then the data will be ignored.
If you send data from some other device to GT Manager, then the data will be
ignored.
A UDIO C ONNECTIONS
If you want to get the audio from your GT- into your PC, then you will need to
make an audio connection in addition to the MIDI connections.
You can do this several ways.
Us e a mono lead from the normal L+R output jack (0.25inch, 6.25mm) to the
soundcard input jack (usually 3.5mm).
Use a stereo lead from the normal L+R output jack and R output jack to the
soundcard stereo input jack (usually 3.5mm). You will need to make your own
cable to split the left and right signal wires to the two 0.25inch jacks. The
signals will be on the tip and ring of the stereo jack, with the sleeve being
ground. Please check which way round the left and right channels go.
