Roland FS-1-WL Instruction Manual
FS-1-WL Connection Guide
(Connect with the GX-100)
This guide shows you how to pair the FS-1-WL
wirelessly to the GX-100 using BLE MIDI.
“Pairing” involves registering the MIDI device that
you want to use (making the devices recognize each
other) with the FS-1-WL.
Pairing the FS-1-WL with another compatible
device lets you control that device via MIDI from the
FS-1-WL.
* You must update the GX-100 to Ver. 1.11 or later
to use the FS-1-WL.
