301
Maintenance
401a
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
302
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
307
Repairs and Data

452
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
351
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
352a
Please be aware that all data contained in the units memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on a another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
551
This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
355b
Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the units memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer). once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
553
When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
360
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
554
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

556
Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.
558a
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
559a
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
IMPORTANT NOTES
561

Main Features
Newer, More Powerful BOSS COSM Effects
Totally new effects made possible by an original, high-performance processor that relies on the latest BOSS technology. Utilizing COSM technology that transcends the realm of mere modeling, these effects achieve sounds with an even more natural performance feel and richer expressiveness than previous designs.
Create Tones Intuitively with EZ TONE

The EZ TONE provides an innovative user interface that enables you to create your own tones with absolutely no special knowledge of effect parameters needed. Sound making on the EZ TONE is truly intuitive. EZ TONE shows you the way to create the sound with both graphical icons and intuitive terms such as SOFT or HARD. Choose the basic sound you want according to the music genre, song imagery, performance-style. Then you can shape the sound by just moving the cursor on the TONE GRID toward SOFT or HARD, for SOLO or for BACKING. Now everyone can easily create his or her own tones the instant a sonic image comes to mind.
Phrase Loop Feature

The Phrase Loop feature lets you record and play loop performances, whereby you continue adding new sounds as the loop plays. Up to 38 seconds of recording time means you can switch effects as you add rhythm, solos, and other performance touches to a recorded loop. You can also take phrases recorded beforehand without effects and then apply the perfect tone, adding the effects as you play back the phrase.
A Wide Variety of Tones with Parallel Chain

The GT-10 features a Parallel Chain function, which allows you to split the effects chainthe sequence of effects used in processing the soundto create two independent chains. Each chain gives you full freedom to arrange effects in any order you want. You can, for example, use separate chain settings in the left and right stereo channels to produce an effect just like a twin guitar sound. Additionally, using a dynamic-type COSM amp, you can even switch chains with your picking dynamics.
Works Like a Compact Effects Processor

Operating the GT-10 is like using compact effects processors. It's easy to make super-fast tone adjustments, even in the middle of live performances. Just select an effects type, then directly adjust the four optimal parameters with the front-panel knobs. Of course, you can also switch the display to show all effect parameters to create tones with even more exacting detail.
High-Visibility Indicators
Foot pedal indicators and other lights all utilize brightly lit LEDs. Clearly visible in any situation, whether it be in a live outdoor concert or up on a pitch-black stage, these indicators help ensure accurate operation.

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. Raise the amp volume only after turning on the power to all connected devices. When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the INPUT jack may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors. When outputting in mono, connect the cable to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack. Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5 or BOSS FV-500L; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit. Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the Information page. Unsuitable places for connection Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution) Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion) Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning) Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Parameter Source
Explanation This selects the controller assigned to the function. Moment The normal state is Off (minimum value), with the switch On (maximum value) only while the footswitch is depressed. The setting is toggled On (maximum value) or Off (minimum value) with each press of the footswitch.
Src Mode Toggle ActRngLo ActRngHi
This sets the minimum for the range in which the value of the setting can be changed. This sets the maximum for the range in which the value of the setting can be changed.
For more information about each parameter, refer to ASSIGN 18 (p. 126).
52
About the Range of a Targets Change

The value of the parameter selected as the target changes within the range defined by Min and Max, as set on the GT-10. When using an external footswitch, or other controller that acts as an on/off switch, Min is selected with Off (CLOSED), and Max is selected with On (OPEN). When using an external expression pedal or other controller that generates a consecutive change in the value, the value of the setting changes accordingly, within the range set by the minimum and maximum values. Also, when the target is of an on/off type, the median value of the received data is used as the dividing line in determining whether to switch it on or off.
When using the footswitch:

About the Range of a Controllers Change

This sets the operational range within which the value of the setting changes when an EXP Pedal or other controller that changes the value consecutively is used as the source. If the controller is moved outside the operational range, the value does not change, it stops at minimum or maximum.

Activating the Virtual Expression Pedal at the Start of Operations (Internal Pedal System)
The GT-10 features a function called Internal Pedal system. This function assigns specified parameters to a virtual expression pedal (the internal pedal), providing an effect that automatically changes volume and tone in real time just the way an expression pedal functions. The Internal Pedal system features the following two functions, allowing you to set Source for each ASSIGN No.1-8 of the Manual Settings (p. 51). * When the Internal Pedal or the Wave Pedal is used, set the ASSIGN Src Mode to Moment.
Internal Pedal
With the trigger you have set, the assumed expression pedal starts working. If you have set INTERNAL PDL to Source, set the Int Trig parameter.
For more detailed information on the parameters that can be set using Internal Pedal, refer to Int Trig (Internal Pedal Trigger) (p. 126), Int Time (Internal Pedal Time) (p. 126), and IntCurve (Internal Pedal Curve) (p. 126).
Wave Pedal
This changes the parameter selected as a target in a certain cycle with the assumed expression pedal. When you have set Wave Pedal for Source, the WaveRate and Waveform should be set.
For more detailed information on the parameters that can be set using Wave Pedal, refer to WaveRate (Wave Pedal Rate) (p. 126) and Waveform (Wave Pedal Form) (p. 127).

Keeping Effect Sounds Playing After Patches Are Switched (Patch Change Mode)
The GT-10 features a mode that is enabled when spatial effects (such as reverb and delay) are used, whereby the effects sound of one patch continues playing even after you switch to the next patch. If the necessary following conditions regarding the effects chain and effect parameter settings are met, you can then have the decay of reverb, delay, and similar effects continue on into the next patch after you switch patches.
Effects are in the same effects chain When switching the delay off or on, or when the Type parameter and Dly Time parameter are identical When switching other effects off or on, or when the parameter settings are identical

Chapter 6 Using the GT-10 with External MIDI Devices Connected

What Can You Do with MIDI?
You can perform the following operations using MIDI with the GT-10.
The use of MIDI requires that the MIDI channels of the connected devices match. If the MIDI channel settings are not correct, the GT-10 will be unable to exchange data with other MIDI devices.
Remotely Controlling the GT-10 Using an External MIDI Device

Switching Patch Numbers
When the GT-10 receives Program Change messages from the external MIDI device, its patches are simultaneously switched.
You can set up the correspondence between MIDI Program Change messages and the GT-10s patches using the Program Change Map (p. 84). You may need to work on these correspondences when you want to line up some effects in combination with other MIDI devices.
Operating From the GT-10

Outputting Program Change Messages
When a patch is selected on the GT-10, a Program Change message corresponding to the patch number is transmitted simultaneously. The external MIDI device then switches its settings according to the Program Change message it receives.
fig.08-010
MIDI IN
The connections shown in the figure below are for a sequencer automatically performing the backing as a guitar is being played. The patches are switched automatically when the program numbers corresponding to the patches are input along with the performance data at the points where you have determined the GT-10 patches are to be switched.
MIDI OUT
MIDI OUT M
Outputting Control Change Messages

Data describing the actions of the CTL pedal, EXP Pedal, EXP PEDAL SW, and external devices connected to the EXP PEDAL 2/CTL 3, 4 jack are output as Control Change messages. Such messages can be used to (among other things) manipulate the parameters of an external MIDI device.
Chapter 6
Transmitting Data
You can use Exclusive messages to transmit the settings for effect sounds and other content stored in the GT-10 to other MIDI devices. For example, you can provide another GT-10 with the same settings, and save effect sound settings to a sequencer or other device.
Receiving Control Change Messages

You can control specified parameters during a performance by having the GT10 receive Control Change messages. Parameters to be controlled are set with Manual Settings (p. 51).
Receiving Data
The GT-10 can receive data transmitted from another GT-10, as well as data thats been stored on a sequencer.
Exchanging MIDI Messages between the Computer and the GT-10

If you set the GT-10 into the specialized driver mode and connect it to your PC/Mac by a USB cable, you can transfer MIDI message bidirectionally via USB. Set your computer MIDI input and output ports to GT-10. If you set USB connection between the GT-10 and PC/Mac, MIDI message transfer via MIDI connectors become inactivated.

Chapter 7 Using the GT-10 Connected to a Computer Via USB

Before Connecting with USB
With the GT-10, you can use USB to transmit both digital audio signals between the GT-10 and your computer.
Installing and Setting the USB Driver

Just by connecting the GT-10 to your PC/Mac with a USB cable, audio signal can be transferred bidirectionally via USB. The GT-10 uses a standard driver that is found on OS. The driver will be installed automatically once connected with your computer via USB. And using the specialized driver, you can record, play back, and edit audio with high-quality sound and stable timing. It also allows you to control the GT-10 using MIDI messages via USB. You can download the special GT-10 driver from the Roland local website. The program and procedures for installing the driver vary according to the operating environment; carefully read the Readme included in the downloaded file.
What is a USB Driver?

A USB driver is software that acts as a go-between in transferring data between computer applications (such as recording software and sequencer software) and the USB device when the computer and USB device are connected using a USB cable. The USB driver transmits data from the applications to the USB device, and conversely, passes messages from the USB device to the applications.

Exchanging MIDI Messages between the Computer and the GT-10

If you set the GT-10 into the specialized driver mode (p. 91) and connect it to your PC/Mac by a USB cable, you can transfer MIDI message bidirectionally via USB. Set your computer MIDI input and output ports to GT-10. If you set USB connection between the GT-10 and PC/Mac, MIDI message transfer via MIDI connectors become inactivated.
For more on MIDI-related settings, refer to Making the Settings for MIDI Functions (p. 80).

Adjusts the frequency where the harmonics contents of the sound are cut off. This adjusts the amount of resonance (and the tone coloration) in the synth sound. The higher the value, the more the synth tone coloration is emphasized. This adjusts the amount of filtering applied in response to the input. This sets the time needed for the filter to finish its sweep. Adjusts the depth of the filter. When the value is higher, the filter will change more drastically. Adjusts the volume of the synth sound. Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
GUITAR SYNTH
This detects the pitch of an electric guitar and outputs a synthesizer sound.
When you use a guitar synthesizer, observe the following points. It does not work properly when a chord is played. Be sure to mute all the other strings and play only one note at a time. When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still playing, mute the previous sound and then play the next one with a clear attack. If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound correctly.

The response of the internal sound source is better with a higher sensitivity value, but the malfunctions will be increased on the other hand. So, try to set it as high as possible without causing malfunction.
Chromatic *1
This switches on or off the chromatic function. When it is on, the pitch change of the synthesizer sound is in semitone steps. This does not respond to pitch changes less than a semitone, such as what might be obtained with bending or vibrato. Thus, this is effectively used for realistically playing musical instruments whose pitch will change in steps greater than a semitone, such as a keyboard.

This selects which type of delay.
This delay adds a pleasant wavering effect to the sound.
If you switch patches with the Type set to either Dual-S, Dual-P, or DualL/R and then begin to play immediately after the patches change, you may be unable to attain the intended effect in the first portion of what you perform. The stereo effect is cancelled if a monaural effect or COSM amp is connected after a stereo delay effect.*

Type
This selects the reverb type. Various different simulations of space are offered. Simulates an ambience mic (off-mic, placed at a distance from the sound source) used in recording and other applications. Rather than emphasizing the reverberation, this reverb is used to produce a sense of openness and depth. Simulates the reverberation in a small room. Provides warm reverberations. Simulates the reverberation in a concert hall. Provides clear and spacious reverberations. Simulates the reverberation in a concert hall. Provides mild reverberations. Simulates plate reverberation (a reverb unit that uses the vibration of a metallic plate). Provides a metallic sound with a distinct upper range. This simulates the sound of a guitar amps built-in spring reverb. This reverb adds the wavering sound found in hall reverb to provide an extremely pleasant reverb sound. Adjusts the length (time) of reverberation. Adjusts the time until the reverb sound appears. This sets the frequency at which the low cut filter begins to take effect. When Flat is selected, the low cut filter will have no effect. This sets the frequency at which the high cut filter begins to take effect. When Flat is selected, the high cut filter will have no effect. Adjusts the density of the reverb sound. Adjusts the volume of the reverb sound. Adjusts the volume of the direct sound. Adjusts the sensitivity of the spring effect. When the value is set higher, the effect is obtained even with a weak picking.
Mode
Selection for the chorus mode. Mono This chorus effect outputs the same sound from both L channel and R channel. This is a stereo chorus effect that adds different chorus sounds to L channel and R channel. This stereo chorus uses spatial synthesis, with the direct sound output in the L channel and the effect sound output in the R channel.

* To determine how the amp channels are switched when the circuit is open and shorted, refer to the amp owners manual, or actually confirm the sounds by operating the amp. * Note that, depending on the circuitry of the channel switching jack in the guitar amp used, the Amp Control function may not operate.
With Amp Control, not only can you switch amp channels, you can also use it to switch the amp's effects on and off, like a footswitch controller. You can also switch this parameter using [MASTER/PEDAL FX] in the AMP CONTROL screen.

NS1/NS2 (Noise Suppressor)

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the guitar sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the guitar sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound. * Please connect the noise suppressor in the signal path prior to the reverberation type effect. This setup will prevent an natural break of the reverberation type effect. Parameter/ Range Explanation

This setting determines the basis used for synchronizing the timing for effect modulation rates and other time-based parameters.
When you have an external MIDI device connected, the Master BPM is then synchronized to the external MIDI devices tempo, thus disabling the Master BPM setting. To enable setting of the Master BPM, set to Internal. When synchronizing performances to the MIDI Clock signal from an external MIDI device, timing problems in the performance may occur due to errors in the MIDI Clock.

Error Messages
If there has been a mistake in an operation or if the operation is not executed properly, an error message will appear in the display. Please follow the instructions indicated in the message to resolve the issue.
Troubleshooting
If there is no sound or other operational problems occur, first check through the following solutions. If this does not resolve the problem, then contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service station.
MIDI BUFFER FULL USB BUFFER FULL

The data cannot be processed correctly due to the high volume of MIDI messages. Reduce the volume of MIDI messages transmitted to the GT-10.
Problems with the sound

No sound / volume too low
Are the connection cables broken? Try using a different set of connection cables. Is the GT-10 correctly connected to the other devices?
Check connections with the other devices (p. 22). Is the connected amp/mixer turned off, or the volume lowered?
MIDI OFFLINE USB OFFLINE

Transmissions from the connected device have been interrupted. This message also appears when the power to the connected device has been turned off. It does not indicate damage. Check to make sure no cable is disconnected and that there are no shorts.
Check the settings of your amp/mixer system. Is the OUTPUT LEVEL knobs lowered?
Adjust the OUTPUT LEVEL knobs to an appropriate position (p. 24). Is Tuner set to On?
DATA WRITE ERROR

Writing to the memory for storage of user data failed. The unit may be damaged. Consult the nearest Roland service center.
When the volume is set to Mute in the Tuner mode, even the direct sound will not be output by setting the Tuner to On (p. 28). Is each effect set correctly?
Use the Changing the Connection Order of Effects (Effect Chain) (p. 38) to check the output level of each effect. If there is an effect for which the meter does not move, check the settings for that effect. Is USB/DGT Out Lev set to a low value?
Adjust the setting to an appropriate value (p. 135). Is PEDAL: FV: Level or MASTER: Patch Level specified as an assign Target?
Move the controller to which it is assigned. Is the power to the external device connected to the EXT LOOP jack off, or is the volume of the device turned down?
Check the settings for the connected device.
Sound from devices connected to the INPUT jack is not heard in the headphones
Is the Dir.Monitor (p. 93) set to OFF? Set to ON.

Appendices
The volume level of the instrument connected to INPUT and RETURN are too low
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Other Problems
Patch does not change
Is something other than the Play screen shown in the display?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
Oscillating sound occurs

Is the value for any gain- or volume-related effects parameter set too high?
On the GT-10, patches can be selected only when the Play screen is displayed. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen (p. 24).
Lower these values. Is the INPUT SELECT (p. 61) set to USB In?
Parameters specified with Assign cant be controlled

Could the effect be switched off? To control a parameter using the EXP Pedal or footswitch, make sure the effect that contains the parameter you intend to control is switched on. Is Prefernc ("preference") for Pedal Function set to the "System" setting?
When set to USB In, audio signals may, depending on the software settings, end up looping. You can use the following methods to prevent this from happening.
Stop playback with the software, and set Soft Thru to Off. Switch the softwares audio input off. Change INPUT SELECT to Guitar 13.
No change in preamp tone even after switching patches

Has the GT-10 been set to System13 in Preamp mode (p. 69)?
Even when an assignment setting has been made for the patch, the setting made for Pedal Function (p. 47) takes precedence. To enable the setting made for the patch, for Pedal Function set the preference for the relevant controller to Patch. Do the MIDI channel settings of both devices match?
When the GT-10 is set to System13 in Preamp mode, the preamp settings do not change when patches are switched. To make different preamp settings for individual patches, choose the Patch setting in Preamp mode.
Make sure that the MIDI channels of both devices match (p. 80). Do the controller number settings of both devices match?
Unable to change parameters with the knobs or dial

Are you using the Internal Pedal System (p. 54) in Assign?
Make sure that the controller number of both devices match (p. 126).
MIDI messages are not transmitted/ received

Are the MIDI cables broken? Try another set of MIDI cables. Is the GT-10 correctly connected to the other MIDI device?
When the Assign Source is set to INTERNAL PDL or WAVE PDL, the effect parameter set as the Assign Target changes automatically. If you want to be able to change the parameters manually with the knobs and dial, first switch off Assign to deactivate the Internal Pedal System. Is INPUT LEVEL (p. 50) set as the Assign Source in Assign?
Check connections with the other MIDI device. Do the MIDI channel settings of both devices match?
When INPUT LEVEL is set for the Assign Source, the effect parameter set as the Assign Target changes automatically according to the level of the input from the guitar (the playing dynamics). If you want to be able to change the parameters manually with the knobs and dial, first switch off Assign.
Make sure that the MIDI channels of both devices match (p. 80). When you send messages from the GT-10, make sure the GT-10 is set to the settings appropriate for sending data.
Check the on/off status for transmission of program change messages (p. 84) and the settings for the controller numbers to be transmitted (p. 84) .
