Selecting Programs; Midi Hookup - Alesis GT Reference Manual

Selecting Programs

1. Press the PROGRAM (PROG) button. The LED in the middle of the
button will light.
2. There are three ways to select programs:
¥ MIDI program changes. See next section.
¥ Press either VALUE button to scroll through the available programs
(VALUE UP increases the program number, VALUE DOWN
decreases the program number). The harder you press the VALUE
button, the faster the Program numbers will scroll. Stop on a
program, and it will be selected.
¥ Key in a particular two-digit program number. Note that the module
buttons (REVERB, DELAY, PITCH, etc.) also have numbers printed in
gray. These can be used for entering numbers as long as the
PROGRAM button is held down.
Example: To enter program 56, press the PROGRAM button and
while it is being held down, press the 5 (MIDI) and 6 (CONFIG)
buttons. The display will show 56, and that program will be selected.
If you release the PROGRAM button before entering the two digit
program number, the program number will revert to what it was
before you pressed the PROGRAM button.
The number you enter must be a two-digit number, so enter a
Òleading zeroÓ if necessary. Example: To enter program 9, enter 09.

1.8 MIDI HOOKUP

MIDI is an internationally-accepted protocol that allows musical-related
data to be conveyed from one device to another. See the MIDI
supplement if you are not familiar with how MIDI works.
The most popular MIDI applications are hooking up a MIDI footswitch
to change programs, and/or a MIDI continuous controller pedal to vary
QuadraVerb GT parameters in real time, as you play. The following
sections describe how this process works.
