Chapter 9 Using the GT-PRO Connected to a Computer Via USB
Before Connecting with USB
With the GT-PRO, you can use USB to transmit both digital
audio signals and MIDI messages between the GT-PRO and
your computer.
First, this requires installation of a USB driver on your
computer so that it can work with the GT-PRO’s driver mode
settings.
For instructions on installing the driver, please read
“Installing & Setup the USB Driver” (p. 109).

* The GT-PRO’s [SYSTEM] indicator lights up when the GT-
PRO and the computer are connected via USB.
About the Included Software
The “GT-PRO Software CD-ROM” that comes with the GT-
PRO contains USB driver and special software used in
connecting the GT-PRO to computers.
Software for use with Windows and Macintosh operating
systems is included.
GT-PRO Editor
This software allows you to edit the GT-PRO’s settings from
a computer. You can save the tone settings (patches) you
create as files on the computer.
GT-PRO Librarian
This software lets you manage all of the GT-PRO’s patches
from your computer.
Driver Mode
The GT-PRO features two operational modes, one mode that
uses the special driver on the CD-ROM included with the
GT-PRO and another mode that uses the operating system’s
(Windows/Mac OS) standard drivers.
The special driver provides high-quality sound and stable
timing for audio recording, playback, and editing.
In addition, the driver enables you to control the GT-PRO
with MIDI messages.

The special driver on the included CD-ROM is used in

“Advanced.”
* In actual operation, the mode is not switched until you turn
the power off and then on again.
4. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
* If the driver for the set mode has not yet been installed, at this
point you need to turn off the power to the GT-PRO and
install the driver.
5. Quit any sequencer software and any other computer
applications used by the GT-PRO.
6. Switch off the GT-PRO, then turn it on again.
The corresponding driver is installed on the computer.
MIDI in Standard Driver Mode
You cannot use MIDI with the GT-PRO when “Standard” is
selected as the driver mode.
If you want to use MIDI while the GT-PRO is connected via
USB, select the Advanced driver mode.
