G2 MIDI

G2 has both Midi in and Midi out functionality.
Midi out can control any external MIDI
capable gear including amplifiers and pedals
etc. The MIDI IN lets you control your G2
externally from any device that sends MIDI
Program Patch Change messages.
Controlling your external MIDI device by G2 is
often as simple as just plugging in a MIDI
cable from the MIDI OUT of G2 to the MIDI IN
of your external device. G2 sends out a Midi
Program Patch Change Message (PCM)
signal automatically every time you press a
foot switch; the default is Midi Chanel 1 but
you can change the MIDI channel per preset.
In fact you can send the program patch
change message on up to 3 separate MIDI
channels per preset. Or if you need to, you
can turn the MIDI off per preset.
We have added ten midi channels, so if you
don't want a foot switch to send midi on CH1,
you can change to any of ten midi Channels
CH1 to CH10.

Midi-Out.

G2 sends out standard patch change messages (PCM) per preset. The default setting outputs
these messages on Midi Ch1 but you can set this to any channel you like from 1 to 10, up to
three separate channels per preset.
Program change 1 is sent out from foot switch 1 and program change 2 for foot switch 2 and so
on up to foot switch 14. Program change 15 is sent out if you use the hidden preset.
When you go to a different bank on G2, the outputted Program Change message will
correspond to the preset on that bank. We've included a detailed chart below so you can see
exactly what Program Patch Change message is sent for each preset.

Changing the MIDI channels

If you want your G2 to send out the program change code on a different channel, hold down foot
switch 7 and press the PHASE button and you will access the midi channel setting system. You
have a choice of any of 10 Channels for each foot switch.
Here's how it works: Hold down 7 and press the PHASE BUTTON and you will enter the Midi
setup mode. You can exit at any time by simply switching off the power.
