In order to achieve the maximum control of the gm-x, please refer to this next chapter where the different parts of the

pedal can be con-

nected to the Pedal

Input #2 only

It is not possible to change these parameters set from the gm-x internal edit menu. However using the advanced PC editor

supplied with the module, it's possible to edit some of these parameters in a very detailed way.

Note: In the Sound list (page 15/16) you will ﬁ nd Sounds with the (PED) Sign. These are "Special Sound" properly designed to be realtime

switched for example, from a Soft Sax to a Growl Sax, from slow rotary Organ to fast and so on, only by pressing a pedal, with a very

impressive results. For this purpose you can use:

•The GM-X PEDAL input (1 or 2), using a Multipedal unit with the default GM-X conﬁ guration and pressing the PED #3 LONG/SHORT

corresponding to the standard MIDI CC # 67 (SOFT).

•The GM-X PEDAL Input 2 using a single switch pedal. This Pedal input it's already set on the MIDI CC# 67 (SOFT)

•An external MIDI controller using a pedal properly connected and programmed to transmit the CC# 67 (SOFT)."

The gm-x is equipped with RCA stereo input connections. These jacks allow you to connect another instru-

ment (or external LINE audio source) and mix the signal into the audio OUTPUT of the module.

Please note that the external mixed signal will be not processed in any way from the gm-x, this is a dry input only.

This connection allows you to use two mixer inputs to connect a digital piano and the gm-x at the same time.

In the same way, using the input connection it's possible to connect a rp-x (piano sound module), to a gm-x.
