M-AUDIO GT Player Express - Manual

3
Basic concept
The GT Player application is a software-based effect processor specially designed for guitar players for live performance.
GT Player has one main rack unit (window) that functions as an Effect processor and two optional rack units, Track Player and ReWire Player, that
act as players.
The Effect processor comes with essential guitar effects and a couple of designed sound setups that can be used right away. In addition, there is
the GT Player VST* Plug-In that can be useful for sound engineers and composers when used with other applications.
Effect processor usage is based on user-editable programs saved under specific number. Each program can contain any combination of supported
VST effects and VSTi instruments.
Every GT Player program contains its name and information about included effects and their settings (selected preset, parameter values, position
of editors, effect status) together with MIDI parameter mapping and program input/output levels. You can quickly browse through prepared
programs and load them when necessary.
Thanks to real-time processing with low latency, the results may sound similar to hardware guitar effect processors. With the use of optional
players, MIDI automation and other program features, this application offers a wide spectrum of possible setups and arrangements.
*VST: Virtual Studio Technology, a flexible system of software based audio effects and musical instruments developed by Steinberg Media A.G.

Before you start
Even though it’s quite easy to get started with GT Player, we recommend that you setup your audio and MIDI first, and ensure that you have all
necessary.
To learn about the basic functionality of each control, simply allow your mouse cursor to hover above each control; a description will soon
appear.
Many of features and properties can be set in Program Preferences. To open the Preferences dialog, click the Options button and select Preferences
from the menu.
NOTE: The Mac and PC versions of GT Player Express are almost identical. The most important differences are mentioned in the text next to
the system logos.
Requirements
Software and hardware requirements:
< Computer running Windows XP or Mac OS X operating system or newer
< Audio card with low latency ASIO (Windows XP) or Core Audio-compatible driver (Mac OS X)
< Headphones or amplifier with speakers
< MIDI foot/remote controller and/or MIDI keyboard
< Electric or acoustic guitar, microphone or another source of audio signal
NOTE: For a guitar without active electronics, the best sound is achieved when using high impedance inputs (also called hi-Z or instrument
inputs). Please, consult the User’s Manual for your audio card to find how to connect various types of audio signal.
