TC Electronic NDR-1 Nova Drive - Manual (Page 21)

NOVA Drive integrates perfectly with a TC
Electronic G-System.
First of all you should make the connections according
to the illustration on page 7 of this manual. Please note
that this setup requires an optional MIDI split cable
from TC Electronic.
As soon as the MIDI split-cable is plugged in, NOVA
Drive appears in G-System as an integrated effect, and
all its parameters can be adjusted just as any other set
of effect parameters in G-System.
To access NOVA Drive’s parameters from G-System:
•
Press G-System’s EDIT button and turn the PAGE
encoder to select between the various NOVA Drive
parameter pages.
Example:
With the two units connected by means of the MIDI split
cable, you can edit the parameters either by using the
knobs and buttons on NOVA Drive pedal itself or by
using the PAGE and A, B, C encoders on G-System.
Please note that even when you control NOVA
Drive from G-System, presets and settings are
always stored in NOVA Drive itself.
Connecting an expression pedal to G-System allows
you to control various NOVA Drive effect parameters in
real-time. The following NOVA Drive parameters can be
assigned for external control via G-System:
•
Overdrive Amount • Overdrive Level
• Distortion Amount • Distortion Level
A typical way of using NOVA Drive with G-
System would be letting your G-System presets
handle whether NOVA Drive is engaged or not.
Also, you can have G-System recall a specific
NOVA Drive preset during preset changes – thereby
reducing the time required to get the desired sound in a
live situation.
It is worth noticing that when the pedal is placed on the
floor next to G-System, you can still use the two
switches on NOVA Drive to activate or deactivate the
drive and distortion sections.
