Global noise suppressor adjustment—
threshold relative to the threshold level(s) set in each patch.
•
Global SUB OUT Level—
sent to the SUB OUT jacks relative to the SUB OUT levels set at the
system level or in each patch.
You can edit, name, and recall 10 different Global Settings. This lets you
quickly and easily set up the VG-99's sound output for the environments you
perform in frequently.
Editing Global Settings
Press GLOBAL, and then use the PAGE buttons to go to
1
Page 1 in the display. (The current page number is shown
in the upper right-hand corner of the display).
Use the F1 knob or button to choose the Global Setting (1-10) you'd
2
like to edit.
There is no "save" procedure when working with Global Settings.
All the adjustments you make to a selected Global Setting are saved
automatically.
Use the PAGE buttons to select the desired Global Setting screen, and
3
use the F knobs and/or buttons to make the desired adjustments.
When you're done, press EXIT to return to the Play
4
screen.
The Play screen is the VG-99's "home" screen. It's the screen that's
displayed after the VG-99 finishes its power-up sequence. You'll
usually want to return to the Play screen when you're done editing
any VG-99 functions.

MAIN OUTPUT SELECT
On Page 1 of the Global Setting screens, you can
select the type of device you're connecting the
VG-99's MAIN OUT jacks to. Most of these settings
add some subtle equalization to the signal to
compensate the VG-99's sound to match the inherent tonal characteristics
of various instrument amplifiers. The exception is the LINE/PHONES setting,
which outputs an un-equalized, "flat response" sound.
The sound output from the SUB OUT jacks is always equivalent to the
LINE/PHONES setting.
Use the F4 knob or button to choose the desired MAIN OUTPUT SELECT
setting:
