I/O SETUP
Setup bank
The G-Force has four banks which you can use for your
different setups. By using the Value wheel, you can change
the active bank from 1 through 4. The banks are
instantaneously Stored and Recalled, meaning that any
change you make in the Control menu is remembered in
the current bank, and Recalled next time you select that
particular bank. Each bank contains every parameter
setting in the Control menu.
Board factory defaults
It is possible to set up the Control menu for a number of
board defaults. Dial the Value wheel and confirm with the
Enter key to load the board defaults. Only boards with MIDI
On/Off or Expression possibilities are represented on the list.
The complete list is:
ADA MXC ART X-15
Ultrafoot
Roland FC-200 Rocktron All Access
DMC Ground Control Lexicon MPX R1
Custom Audio Electronics RS-10 G Minor
This will change the whole Control setup to the
defaults of the chosen board, meaning that it will
override your settings.
G-Force control
Main Vol.- Controls the main output volume of the G-Force.
Tempo - Use this parameter to tap the global tempo via
MIDI or the G-Force pedal input.
Bypass - Controls the overall bypass of the G-Force.
Tuner - Use this parameter to activate the Tuner.
Modifier input
Ext. 1-8 - These eight inputs can control numerous
parameters in the algorithms. Their functions are set up in
the Modifier matrix display. These are the parameters you
should set up to be controlled by your expression pedals.
Effect Bypass
The nine block bypass functions can be externally
controlled via these inputs, meaning that you can bypass
each of the nine effects independently. Some foot
controllers on the market have the capability to send MIDI
on/off messages for exactly this purpose.
If you do not own a board with these features, you can use
an ordinary program change to bypass a block, e.g. You
can setup the Pan section to be bypassed when you send
out program change #10 on MIDI channel 5.
Ext. Controllers
There are two ways to connect an expression pedal to the
G-Force. One way is to connect it directly to the External
Control jack on the back panel of the G-Force. The other
way is to connect it via a foot-controller, i.e. as a MIDI
controller.
To make it easy for you to set up a pedal, we
designed a Learn function. Place the cursor on the
parameter you want to control, press Enter to
activate Learn, and press your pedal. The G-Force
will now automatically detect your pedal, no matter if it is
connected to MIDI or to the pedal jack.
In each of the following parameters, you can setup the
input that the current parameter should be controlled by. In
the first column you set up the source and in the second
column you set up the type of the controller. Here is a
description of the possibilities -
Column 1
Pedal:
The G-Force pedal input (see back panel).
MIDI basic: The parameter will respond to the basic
G-Force MIDI channel (set in MIDI).
MIDI Omni: The current parameter will respond to
all channels.
MIDI 1-16: The parameter will only respond to this channel.
Column 2
(please note that this column is only available when col.1 is
set to MIDI).
Pitch bend:
Standard MIDI Pitch bend.
Aftertouch: Standard MIDI Aftertouch.
Note-on-key: Standard MIDI Note-on.
Controller 0-127: MIDI standard controllers.
Prg. Change:
The Program Change feature is very
special.
If a parameter is set to a certain Program Change, the
current parameter will be toggled on/off by the current
preset change.
If you are using a Program Change on the MIDI
basic channel for controller purposes, the current
Program Change will be ignored and will not perform
a program change on the G-Force.
