To sequence a performance Patch of the GR-1, you have to set the GR-1 to Mono so that each string is on its own individual channel. This allows you to use splits, layers and velocity mix/switch Patches in your sequences. If you are using a sequencer that re-channelizes your data, you will need to set it up to record on six MIDI channels at the same time. Consult your software manual for more information. The Patch track has to be the final track in your recording procedure because it is necessary to be in poly mode to record with the multitimbral Parts. You can actually use any of the Patches in the GR-1, but remember that the effects settings of your selected Patch will also effect the multitimbral Parts. In other words, if you use a lead Patch that has echo programmed into it, you will have the same echo on your bass track and your drums. Let's set up the MIDI Out parameters.

1. Press the SYSTEM button and the PARAMETER NEXT button two times to return to the MIDI menus.
2. Press the ENTER button and the PARAMETER NEXT button to select BASIC. Choose BASIC 11 so that we are using MIDI channels 11 through 16 to trigger the Patch.
3. Press the PARAMETER NEXT button to select MD, and VALUE the transmit mode to MONO.
4. Press the PARAMETER NEXT button again to access the BEND parameter. A Bend Range of 24 should be used if you need to sequence your string bending. The GR-1's Patches default to this setting so you will need to change the MIDI Out bend range to match the Patches default. A chromatic bend setting 0 is advisable when sequencing chords so that you can save memory in your sequencer.
5. Press EXIT twice to return to the PLAY mode and select the Patch that you want to use for your final track.
6. Play your guitar, and you should hear the Patch being played through MIDI. If you have been using Auto Channelize, turn it off so that incoming MIDI messages pass through your computer on the channels transmitted from your GR-1. Start recording on your sequencer and play your guitar.
