MIDI Functions
The GW-7 can transmit and receive performance data when
connected to an external MIDI device, which enables the two devices
to control each other’s performance. For example, one device can
play or switch sounds on the other device.

stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” It is a
universal standard for exchanging musical performance data
among electronic musical instruments and computers.

A separate publication titled "MIDI Implementation" is also available.
It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI has been
implemented on this unit. If you should require this publication (such
as when you intend to carry out byte-level programming), please
contact the nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland
distributor.

Connection Example
Before making connections with other devices, you must turn
down the volume of all devices and turn off the power to avoid
malfunctions or speaker damage.

MIDI provides sixteen channels, numbered 1–16. Even if two MIDI
devices are connected, you won’t be able to select or play sounds on
the other device unless both devices are set to the same MIDI
channel. The GW-7 is capable of receiving on all channels, 1–16.

If the notes you play on the keyboard are sent to the sound
generator via both of the two routes (1) and (2) as shown in the
diagram, the notes will be duplicated or interrupted. To prevent
this, you can disconnect route (1) by using the “Local Off”
setting.
You should turn this setting Off if you’ve connected a MIDI
sequencer to the GW-7.

MIDI TxRx (MIDI Transmission/Reception)
This specifies the part(s) that will receive and transmit MIDI.
Sync Rx (MIDI Synchronization)
This specifies how the GW-7 will synchronize to an external
MIDI device. Synchronization is available if the MIDI OUT
connector of your external MIDI device is connected to the GW-
7’s MIDI IN connector. (If you’ve made the opposite connection,
refer to the owner’s manual for your external device.)
