Hi to all. I have not a good relationship with the MIDI thing  ::) ::)  :D . So, if any of you people can help me, I'll apreciate. By connecting the GR 20 through the GP 10 or GT 001 to a PC, I am able to record my guitar. I try to connect via midi in/out but have no lucky in transmission of data (well, need to say the midi cable was not the top thing on the market  :P)  Is there any other way - maybe using UM2G or other kind of cable - to make the conncection? I just want to keep the GR 20 but dont want to buy much more things since I have enough to deal ;D. Thanks for any help.

To record the GR-20 MIDI, you must use a separate full featured MIDI Interface

Many are called  "USB MIDI adapter cables" ( Roland UM-One MKII)

- separate Audio / MIDI  Interface with Stereo Line Inputs and 5 pin MIDI I/O can  record the GR-20 MIDI Output  and Audio Output ( Focusrite, Presonus, RME, etc) 



Audio Interfaces  - (many with MIDI I/O)

From my recollection, the GR-20 does not have a USB port, so you have to use your Midi to USB adapter.
There is a switch in the GR-20 menu where you choose either the internal sounds or send the midi to the Midi Out port.
That is my vague memory from when I had a GR-20.
Free "GR-55 FloorBoard" editor software from https://sourceforge.net/projects/grfloorboard/

Thanks for reply. You think I can do the records with this:
FORE USB IN-OUT MIDI Interface Converter/Adapter with 5-PIN DIN MIDI Cable for

Or better Roland Um-one Mk2 USB Midi Interface
