Chapter 10 Other Convenient Functions
Terminating Transmission of the MIDI 
Controller No. 7
1. Press [SYSTEM] to enter System mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “VOL SEND SW.”
fig.10-04
3. Turn [VALUE] to select “Off.”
4. Press [PLAY] to return to Play mode.
* This is a system-wide setting, and not a patch setting, so there 
is no need to perform a patch write operation. The setting is 
automatically stored in memory even after the power is 
switched off.
This stops the transmission of Control Change No. 7 from 
MIDI OUT, eliminating the problem described above.
* This also terminates transmission of Control Change No. 7 
messages for other volume-related control, so this setting 
should not used except when necessary. Please note that once 
transmission has been disabled, it remains so until you switch 
the setting back to “On” or restore system-related settings to 
their default values by performing a Factory Reset (p. 16).
Terminating Transmission of the Bend Range Request Message
The GR-33 informs any external MIDI device of the GR-33’s 
current Bend Range setting each time a new patch is selected.
The messages used here are MIDI RPN (Registered 
Parameter Number) “Pitch Bend Sensitivity” messages—that 
is, Control Change messages No. 100, No. 101, No. 6, and No. 
38.
If it is necessary for some reason to stop the transmission of 
these messages—such as when you wish to reduce the 
number of messages sent to a sequencer as you change 
patches on the GR-33—follow the steps below to turn off this 
function.
1. Press [SYSTEM] to enter System mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “BEND REQ SW.”
fig.10-05
3. Turn [VALUE] to select “Off.”
4. Press [PLAY] to return to Play mode.
* This is a system-wide setting, and not a patch setting, so there 
is no need to perform a Patch Write operation. The setting is 
automatically stored in memory, even after the power is 
switched off.
Once you’ve done this, no Bend Range Request messages 
(MIDI Pitch Bend Sensitivity) are sent when changing 
patches.
* Please note that once transmission has been disabled, it 
remains so until you return the setting to “On” or restore 
system-related settings to their default values by performing a 
Factory Reset (p. 16).
