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.

Energy”.

GX-100
1. Turn on the GX-100 (to which the BT-DUAL is
attached) and the FS-1-WL, and place them
nearby.
2. Hold down the pairing button on the BT-DUAL
until the Bluetooth indicator blinks rapidly.
3. Press the [Bluetooth] (INSTRUMENT) button on
the FS-1-WL.
The Bluetooth indicator on the FS-1-WL blinks

and now the GX-100 and FS-1-WL are paired.
If connected correctly, it will be in the following
state.

The FS-1-WL remembers the information
for the last Bluetooth device to which it was
connected.
When connecting to a dierent device after
connecting to the GX-100, or when turning
o the power while the Bluetooth indicator is
blinking white (not connected), or when doing
a factory reset of the FS-1-WL, the unit does not
pair automatically.
In this case, you must start from step 1 to
congure the settings.
