MONO SYNTH Jack The normal output from a guitar can be plugged in here via a standard 1/4" phone-plug cable if the G50 is to be used without the G1D Divided Pickup Unit in the mono- phonic mode. The monophonic mode is automatically selected when the multi-pin cable is disconnected and a standard guitar cable is plugged in here. -
Page 8: Rear Panel
The MIDI OUT connector connects to one or more external tone generators or synthesizers to be driven by the G50. It can also be connected to a MIDI data recorder or other MIDI data storage device to store MIDI bulk data corresponding to the G50’s 128 programs. -

Sets the Master Volume level of the receiving tone generator. This parameter is an ideal way to individually set the volume level of each voice selected by the G50 for optimum “balance” in your application: e.g. so that there are no unnatural volume changes when switching between voices, or so that the volume of the selected voice is just right for the backing with which it will be used, etc. -
