Setting Up

Preset Program Sets

In addition to the normal “user” programs, the G50 has 3
preset program sets designed specifically for use with
certain tone generators, as follows:

This is the normal user-programmable G50
memory. The factory preset program conform to
the standard GM (General MIDI) voice assign-
ments.

The “1” preset program set contains a selection
of programs designed for use with the Yamaha
MU80 or MU50.

This set has been created for use with the
Yamaha VL70-m.

This set has been created for use with the
Yamaha VL1-m Version 2.

 To Select a Preset Program Set:

1

. Engage the Preset Selection Mode

Press the [TUNER] button while holding the [PLAY]
button. “TG” followed by the number of the currently
selected preset program set (or “U” for “user”) will
flash on the display.

2

. Select a Preset

Select the desired preset program set by using the [-1]
and [+1] buttons.

3

. Press [YES]

Press the [YES] button to confirm the selection. “don”
will appear briefly when the selected preset program
set has been activated. When preset “2” or “3” is
selected, pressing the [YES] button also transmits
appropriate voice data to the connected VL70-m or
VL1-m Version 2. Make sure your VL70-m or VL1-m
Version 2 is set up to allow voice data (system exclu-
sive) reception if you want to use these voices. This
voice data will overwrite the previous data in voice
number “Cst 001 through 006 and Int 001”(VL70-m)
or “A01 through A06”(VL1-m Version 2), so be sure
any data you want to keep is backed up before select-
ing either of these program sets.

 NOTES

• The user data is kept safe in a special secondary memory

while any of the other preset program sets are active, so

your edited data will be restored when you re-select the

“user” set.

, , ,

Make sure that your G1D Divided Pickup Unit has been
properly installed and connected to your guitar as de-
scribed in the G1D Owner’s Manual before connecting it
to the G50.
Make sure that the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter power is
OFF, then plug one end of the multi-pin cable supplied
with the G50 into the G1D multi-pin connector, and the
other end into the DIVIDED INPUT connector on the
G50.
When all connections have been properly made, turn the
G50 power switch ON: the G1D power indicator should
light indicating that it is receiving power from the G50.

 NOTES

• For extra security and damage prevention it is a good idea

to pass the cable between the strap and guitar body near

the body strap pin.

• The multi-pin cable plug release button must be pressed

when unplugging the multi-pin cable from the G50 or G1D.
