Changing the Way Patches Are Called Up

In normal operation, changing a patch in play mode of the G1/G1X will be active immediately. This
means that the sound changes straight away when you make the selection.
In some cases, such as when the new patch is at a memory location not adjacent to the current one, this
method may not be ideal, because the sound will change in various ways as you switch through the
patches. In such a case, you may want to change the patch selection method to "pre-select". In this mode,
you first select the patch to use next, and then perform an additional step to activate the patch.
To change G1/G1X operation to pre-select, perform the following steps.
1.
Turn power to the G1/G1X on while
holding down the [Q] foot switch.
The indication "PrE-SElEct" scrolls on the
display during startup.
2.
In play mode, use the [W]/[Q] foot
switches to specify the patch to use
next.
You can use the [BANK UP•TAP] key or a foot
switch (FS01) connected to the [CONTROL IN]
jack to switch only the bank (The G1X does not
support use of a foot switch.)
The new bank or patch number specified by the
above step flashes on the display. The sound
does not change yet.

Using a Foot Switch or Pedal

The G1 is equipped with a [CONTROL IN] jack that allows connection of an optional foot switch or
expression pedal.
This section explains how to use this capability.
Using the foot switch (FS01)
(G1 only)
Simply connect the optional foot switch (FS01)
to the [CONTROL IN] jack of the G1 and turn
the unit on. This allows you to switch banks and
specify the tempo for rhythm patterns with the
foot switch.

3.
When you have specified the patch to
use, press both [W]/[Q] foot
switches together.
The patch change is accepted, the display
changes from flashing to permanently lit, and the
sound changes.

4.
To return the G1/G1X to the normal
patch selection method, simply turn
power off and then on again.
The patch selection method is automatically reset
to conventional operation.
Depending on the currently selected mode, the
foot switch operates as follows.
●
Play mode
Pressing the foot switch selects the next higher
bank.
●
Rhythm mode
When you press the foot switch two times or
ZOOM G1/G1X
m o r e , t h e G 1 d e t e c t s t h e i n t e r v a l a n d
automatically adjusts the tempo accordingly
(tap tempo function).
●
Edit mode
The foot switch has no effect.

Using the expression pedal

With the G1, an expression pedal (FP01/FP02)
can be connected to the [CONTROL IN] jack
and used as a volume pedal or for adjusting a
certain parameter of an effect type in real time.
With the G1X, the built-in expression pedal can
be used in the same way. The function of the
expression pedal can be selected and stored
individually for each patch.
1.
To use an expression pedal with the
G1, plug the FP01 or FP02 into the
[CONTROL IN] jack and turn on the
power.
2.
Select the patch in which to use the
expression pedal.
3.
Set the Module selector to a position
other than "PLAY" or "RHYTHM".
The G1/G1X goes into edit mode.
4.
While holding down the [RHYTHM]
key, use the [VALUE] knob to select
the module to control with the
expression pedal. Available settings
are shown below.

• In the section "Effect Types and Parameters" (page
19 – 24), a pedal symbol indicates which effect
type/parameter is controlled by the pedal.
• When a module has been selected as control
target, but the effect type currently selected for
that module does not have a pedal symbol, the
expression pedal has no effect.
5.
Store the patch as required.
The expression pedal setting is stored for that
patch.
6.
Select this patch in play mode, and
operate the expression pedal.
The respective parameter changes when you
operate the pedal (pushing the pedal down has
the same effect as increasing the value of the
parameter).
In the bypass condition, the expression pedal
always functions as volume pedal, regardless of
the setting made in step 4.

• The expression pedal operates also in edit mode.
• With the G1X, you can also use the [PEDAL
ASSIGN] key on the top panel instead of the
[RHYTHM] key and [VALUE] knob to select the
module to be controlled by the pedal. For details,
see page 26.
