You all might know this, but for those who might not...
The Gr-20 midi in port can be connected to a midi keyboard's midi out,
and you can play all the GR-20's sounds from the keyboard.
You can connect both units to an audio mixer so as to adjust the balance and other mixer parameters independently.
A midi guitar can plug into the 13 pin port, and the guitarist and keyboard player both can play the GR-20 simultaneously,
and the guitar player can use the switch to change it's sounds. But as far as I know, the pianist cannot.

Same functionality occurs with older Roland GR-30 and Roland GR-33  - but NOT the GR-55

QuoteRecently I was debugging MIDI gear with a GR-33 as MIDI Tone Module, and we discovered the GR-33's internal Sound engine can accept simultaneous signal input from either the GK 13 pin input jack or the 5 pin MIDI Input jack at the same time.

That opens many doors for live use with an external MIDI sequencer in tandem with live GK-3 triggered performance


Must Enable "LOCAL OFF"
