The first number “1” tells you which instant access button you are setting up.
Pressing [BANK
2] will select buttons 1 through 8.
GCX Loops
Setting an instant access button to control a GCX loop means that you can simply press that
button to directly turn the loop on or off. This allows you to be more spontaneous rather than hav-
ing to create a whole new preset in anticipation of which loops you’ll want on and off. The most
common uses of GCX loops are to switch stompbox effects in/out and to select amp channels.
When the display shows something like:
This means that instant access button ‘3’ will control loop ‘5’ on GCX ‘1’. Use [CURSOR] to
move between the GCX # and loop #. Then use [-/NO] and [+/YES] to change them. You can
select GCX #’s 1-4 and each GCX has loops 1-8.
Sequencer Start/Stop
You can setup one of the instant access buttons to start and stop a sequencer. With the cursor
on the GCX #, press [+/YES] until the display shows:
Now instant access button #3 will start and stop your sequencer.
MIDI Continuous Controller On/Off
If you are using a multi-effects processor or a modeling amp, it is very likely that you can turn
its internal effects on and off with MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages. By assigning
CC messages to instant access buttons, you can control these internal effects just like a stomp-
box pedal board. All you need to know is which MIDI channel (1-16) and controller numbers
(0-120) your device will respond to. Some devices will have the controller numbers fixed to
specific effects, and others will let you assign each controller to a different function.
With the cursor on the GCX #, press [+/YES] until the display shows:
This indicates that Instant Access button #1 will control MIDI continuous controller #004 on
channel 1. You can use [CURSOR] to move between the channel and the controller number.
Then use [-/NO] and [+/YES] to select MIDI channels 1-16 and continuous controllers 0-120.
If you press [CURSOR
4] again, you can select between NORMAL, XMIT W/PRSET and
MOMENTARY. Here’s what that means:
1.CH01 CTL004
3. SEQ S/S
3. GCX-1 LOOP5
1. GCX-1 LOOP1
