SETTING UP Y 1. Install the G10 Controller Arm Install the G10 controller arm by screwing it into the threaded receptacle located below the ultrasonic pitch sensor. The arm screws in clockwise. Screw the arm in until it stops, then rotate it backwards by about one turn to allow the arm to move freely. 2. Set the Proper G160 String Tension Use the Knurled knobs on the G10 tension-adjust tailpiece to set all strings to the same acoustic “pitch.
10 PLAY NOW — LEARN THE DETAILS LATER ! This section is devoted to those of you (probably most of you) Yamaha has made this easy by prov for the TX802 and TX81Z FM Tone Generators, with w follow the instructions below, play, and enjoy. Then, when do for you, go on to the next section. 1. Make sure that your system is properly set up and turned ON as described in the previous “SETTING UP” section. 2. Press the GIOTTO UTILITY button. “TIL 1”7 should appear at the upper left-hand corner of the display.
Note: ?Bwv» RAM data cartridges that can be used for external storage of CGI performance data are available from your Yamaha dealer. Selecting Performance Memory Locations Once the desired performance memory group has been selected, any of the performance memory locations it contains can be selected by pressing either the performance selector buttons on the (10, or the DATA ENTRY DEC and INC buttons on the G10C.
16 THE EDIT MODE mode s active. Return to your edited parameter value by pressing the EDIT button again. The letter “C” will then disappear from the display. 7. The changes are stored in a temporary “edit buffer” and will be lost if you return to the PLAY mode and select another performance memory location.

Four “user” velocity curve memories are also provided. and these can be programmed by you using the VELOCITY CURVE EDIT utility function described on page 33. The user velocity curves are indicated the G10 display. 9.
20 THE EDIT MODE select one of the Central Name settings listed below. Setting the Control Name parameter to anything except OFF automatically resets the maximum pitch bend value Off: No MIDI control change data will be transmitted, thus the arm will either control pinch or have no effect if “P.bend max” is set to 0, ® Mod.
22 THE STORE MODE l Once you've edited any of the Ginsu's performance parameters, it Is necessary to STORE the new parameters in either an internal (INT) or cartridge {(CRT) performance memory location otherwise the changes you have made will be lost as soon as you select a new performance memory location in the PLAY mode. The performance store function can be accessed directly from the EDIT, PLAY or CHAIN modes, but not from the UTILITY mode.
24 THE UTILITY MODE ] The UTILITY mode contains a range of utility functions including jobs like memory management, cartridge formatting and others. Since most of the UTILITY mods functions initiate some form of immediate action, they are not “memorized” in the same way that the edit parameters are. The exceptions to this are a group of four SYSTEM SETUP parameters available through the UTILITY mode. The UTILITY mode is activated by pressing the UTILITY button.
26 THE UTILITY MODE 81Z ull (A) and 812 all (B) 81Zall (A) and 81Zall (B) transmit 24 performance data sets (voice + performance) and system data to a TX81Z tone generator. Prior to transmitting this data make sure that: ® The GIOTTO memory protect function is OFF (TIL 1). ® The G10C device number is set to an appropriate value — usually 1 (TIL i0). ® Any TX81Z data that you wish to keep has been back up by storing o cassette, etc. M Preparing the TX81Z for 812 ail Setup 1.

Make sure the cartridge MEMORY PROTECT switch is OFF and insert the cartridge into the G10C cartridge slot. 2. With the cursor located before “Data” on the display, use thé DATA ENTRY DEC and INC buttons to select the data to be saved: ® All: All performance, utility and chain data will be saved.
MODE While the cursor is located before on the display, the DATA ENTRY DEC and INC buttons can be used to select the desired MIDI device number for the GIOTTO. The device number is the MIDI channel on which all system exclusive data will be transmitted and received. The device number range is OFF, I — 16.

A setting of 0 produces no string bend for the corresponding string, while the maximum setting of 31 produces an extremely large pitch variation with only slight string motion.
36 THE CHAIN MODE 8. Press the CURSOR [> bunion to move the cursor to “Step” on the display, and use the DATA ENTRY DEC and INC buttons to select the step you wish to program. If the step number you select is a number higher than the total number of steps currently in the selected CHAIN (as shown under “Total” on the display), will appear under “Serf” indicating that the selected step has not yet been programmed. “Step” cannot be set to a number greater than “Total” + 1, unto a maximum of 20. 4.
