MIDI setup
One of GT Player Express’ strongest features is its ability to control almost everything via MIDI. The MIDI pane in the Preferences window allows
you to set options for MIDI control, (e.g. MIDI Input, Output for MIDI Thru, MIDI Channels on which you want to receive control data, what to do if
MIDI program changes are received, Default tempo for instruments, and more).
Effect processor (main GT Player Express rack)
GT Player effect unit can operate in two modes: Program mode or Effect mode.
< In the Program mode, the user can browse thru existing programs and load, save and edit them, or create a new program.
< In the Effect mode, user can browse through effects and their parameters within the active (loaded) program.
While most of the effects have their own graphic interfaces (editors), allowing you to change their parameters, GT Player Express offers two
additional ways to change effect parameters:
< You can switch to Effect mode for browsing and changing parameters, just as on a hardware effect processor.
< You can assign a MIDI controller to selected parameters and then change their values via an external MIDI device.
GT Player Express Buttons:
<
POWER - Signal processing is started or stopped.
< ASSIGN - Last received controller is assigned to selected parameter. (See: MIDI control of parameters)
< SAVE - Active program with all settings is saved under selected program number.
< LOAD - Selected program is loaded and all saved effects settings are restored.
< BYPASS - Loaded program is bypassed.
< MODE - Toggles between Program and Effect mode.
