Kenton GS-2 - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
At last, an affordable unit which enables you to put your amplifier foot-switches
(channel/overdrive/graphic etc.) under MIDI control, enabling to control them from your MIDI pedal
board or MIDI seqeuncer. For playing live or in a studio, the GS-2 makes your set-up work for you
freeing you to get on with your playing.
Setting Up
MIDI Connections
The GS-2 must be connected to your MIDI set-up. Using a standard MIDI cable, connect one end
into the MIDI Out of your MIDI effects processor or other MIDI device, and plug the other end into
the MIDI In of the GS-2. Connect the MIDI Thru on the GS-2 to the MIDI In of any other MIDI
device if necessary.
Foot-Switch Connections
To connect the GS-2 to the foot-switch inputs;
Connect the outputs `TO AMP A (/B)` to the foot-switch inputs on your amplifiers or A/B amp-
switcher box.
The Three Edit Modes
Switching On
When you first switch on the GS-2, it will momentarily display the software version number, then
revert to Patch Edit Mode, displaying the current patch number (default patch 1).
Loading factory defaults;
If the unit is switched on whilst holding down both the `+` and `-` keys, the display will read `Fd`
indicating that the GS-2 has been reset and the factory defaults loaded into the memories.
The GS-2 has two edit modes as indicated by the LED bars `PATCH/CHANnel`;
When the green LED next to `PATched` is on, the GS-2 is in patch edit mode.
When the yellow LED next to `CHannel` is on, it is in Channel/System edit mode.
There is a third special edit mode called Controller Assignment Mode which is described later in the
manual.
A red dot will flash on the right of the display to indicate when the GS-2 is receiving MIDI data
(except MIDI clock messages).
