Sending No Midi - GigRig G2 User Manual

In this mode all the foot switches will flash quickly; you can now press any foot switch; your G2
will then show you which midi channels your program change commands will be sent on via the
effects loop lights. In this mode your G2 will also send the midi out to the pedals and amps; this
is so you can check that the midi is doing exactly what you expect while still in midi setup mode.
You can jump between foot switches and see exactly what happens when each foot switch is
pressed.
The effects loop lights will show you the midi channels the program change codes have been
sent to. One or up to three lights will be 'on'. For example, foot switch 4 may show blue lights 1,
3 and 4; this means program change code 4 will be sent out on Midi CH1, CH3 and CH4. Your
G2 will also send these codes in the order they were entered when first set up by you the user.
If you want to edit any foot switch midi, then simply Press the effects loop buttons corresponding
to the channels you want the program code to be sent on. This will overwrite the three existing
channel numbers and then exit back to foot switch midi mode. You can then press the foot
switch again to test the new midi commands if you are confident you can move onto the next
foot switch.
IMPORTANT – The preset is looking for 3 selections. You can select a single MIDI
channel but you must press that button 3 times. For example, if you go to preset number 10
and you want to send on MIDI channel 1 you need to press effect loop 1 three times. If you want
it out output on MIDI channels 1 &2, press loop 1, then press loop 2 twice. If you want to send
on MIDI channels 4,8 and 10, press loops 4, 8 and 10. Once its received the three presses it will
automatically ask you to select the next preset.
To go to a different bank and edit the MIDI out on a preset simply press the BANK UP button,
then select the bank you want to go to, select the preset and edit the MIDI in the same way.
Your intelligent G2 will remember these settings; so reading, programming and experimenting
with midi is very simple; you don't need to exit midi setup mode to test the settings.
Remember, you will always need three presses of the blue loop light buttons before you can set
up another foot switch or function. Or do anything.

Sending No Midi

When you're editing your preset you'll notice that the remote switch 1 light is on. This means
that MIDI messages are turned on. If you want to turn off MIDI completely for that preset, simply
select remote switch 2 before moving on to another preset or exiting the MIDI setup by pressing
the PHASE button.
Example, tips and tricks.
Set up your pedal board and connect G2's midi out to say two different pedals and a midi
controlled amplifier. Let's set the amplifier to midi program change ch1 on foot switch 3 and the
two pedals to ch2 and ch3 respectively; also on foot switch 3.
You can do this by entering the midi out setup on foot switch 7. (See special function 7 for midi
out)
Your amplifiers midi input should be set to receive on ch1 and the midi in on the foot switches
should be set to ch2 and ch3, as you would expect.
