TC Electronic G-System - Manual (Page 49)

Utility
Tap Master
Range: Preset or Global
Determines whether at preset change tempo related
parameters follow the values set in presets or the
globally tapped tempo.
Example:
You have tapped a tempo of 500ms as a global tempo.
The preset you are about to change to has a – tempo
dependent – delay time of 350ms. When the Tap Master
parameter is set to Preset, the G-System will set the
delay time to 350ms (as it is stored in the preset).
When the Tap Master parameter is set to “Global”, the G-
System will ignore the 350ms value set in the preset and
use the (global) 500ms value instead.
Insert Lock (loop 5)
Range: On/Off
This parameter locks the state of the Insert loop to its
current state. This feature is typically used when you
want a pre-amp connected in the Insert loop to be “on” at
all times.
When you activate the Lock feature, the On/Off status for
the currently recalled preset will be used on all presets.
Boost Lock
This parameter locks the settings of the Boost section.
When you activate the Lock feature, the Boost settings
for the currently recalled preset will be used on all
presets.
EQ Lock
This parameter locks the settings of the EQ section.
When you activate the Lock feature, the EQ settings for
the currently recalled preset will be used on all presets.
Relay Lock
Range: On/Off
With Relay Lock set to “On” the relays are locked at their
current positions. This means that they will not be altered
at preset changes. You can, however, assign a switch to
alternate between Relay positions A and B if you like.

*Dump System´*
For a complete system backup, press ENTER. All the G-
System’s basic settings and all User presets are sent via
MIDI as a MIDI Data Dump.
Dump Bank*
The entire User bank is sent via MIDI as a MIDI Data
Dump when “Execute Dump” is performed.
How to Dump via MIDI – Step by Step:
•
Connect the G-System’s MIDI Out to the MIDI In of a
MIDI sequencing device.
• Set your sequencer to record on all MIDI channels
(“Omni”) and start recording.
• Set the G-System to dump either all data (System) or
User Bank (see above) and press ENTER.
*A computer with a standard MPU 401 MIDI interface is recommended
and tested for best results.
External MIDI control
Recalling Presets from an External MIDI Device
To recall a G-System preset using an external device,
send a MIDI CC followed by a Program change.
Banks are selected using the following parameters:
Factory bank:
Controller #0: Value 0
User bank 1 to 100: Controller #0: Value 1
User bank 101 to 200: Controller #0: Value 2
