Sending Additional Program Change Commands; Modifiers Programming - G-Lab GSC-2 User Manual

d) Short pressing footswitches numbered from 1 to 7 will effect in short displaying text CC and the
controllers No. e.g. 81 and after actual value of the controller will be displayed. Pressing No. 0
footswitch displays the actual program No. transmitted to the MIDI 3 device by Program Change
command.
e) Press and hold for longer than 1 second the controller footswitch intended to be changed (blinking
"0" will appear on display).
g) Enter the value of controller using footswitches. The controller value can be from 0 to 127 range,
unused or toggle. Press and hold for longer than 1 second footswitch No. 0 to set the controller
unused (not to be transmitted). To set the toggle function press and hold for longer than 1 second
the footswitch No. 5. Toggle function means that successive pressing the footswitch toggles
transmitted values 0 and 127 and effects in switching on/off a chosen parameter or a function of
MIDI 3 device. In case when we programmed the footswitch as a MIDI modifier and the only
transmitted command is toggle value controller we get the footswitch e.g. switching on and off a
single effect at multieffect device. In this way we get the functionality of such a footswitch identical
with loop modifier (for a single effect as stompbox connected to a loop). When at other preset or
modifier the given controller is transmitted then toggle function will consider the previously
transmitted value.
g) Press MIDI 1 (or MIDI 2) button to accept the value. If you want to edit the value of other controller
operate according to point d) and e).
h) Press simultaneously MIDI 1 and MIDI 2 buttons to save entered vales. Text Stored confirms
saving.
In case of necessity of escaping without saving while in the point d) should be pressed LOOP or
SWITCH button.

Sending additional Program Change commands

Controller enables sending out four additional Program Change commands (named PC4 to PC7) instead
of Control Change 4 to 7 commands. To use this option it is needed:
– to set at LOOP button settings (footswitch No. 6) transmitting three Control Change and five
Program Change (m3A) commands,
– to set at SWITCH button settings the channel numbers for MIDI 4 to MIDI 7 instead of the controller
numbers CTRL 4 to CTRL 7,
– to enter the program numbers to send in place of the controller values CTRL4 do CTRL7. On
display, in place of the "CC" and controller's number, will appear the "PC" with the number of MIDI
device to which will be sent the program number.

Modifiers programming

Modifiers enable to program the controller in such a way that the given footswitch in the chosen bank instead
of preset function would serve one of the following functions:
– switching on and off an effect connected to an effect loop (LOOP MODIFIER),
– setting the amp at a chosen channel (SWITCH MODIFIER),
– sends the Program Change and/or Control Change MIDI commands to selected MIDI devices (MIDI
MODIFIER).
To achieve it after selecting a bank and a footswitch which should be a modifier you have to enter Loops
(LOOP1 to LOOP6) programming function and using footswitch No. 7 you have to select the modifier
type: L – LOOP modifier, S – SWITCH modifier and n – MIDI modifier.
For a LOOP modifier you should select the loop which should be switched on and off (toggled) by succes-
sive pressing this footswitch. It means that if a given LOOP is switched off pressing this footswitch will effect
in switching LOOP on. When LOOP is switched on – pressing this footswitch will switch LOOP off. It is
recommended to program LOOP modifiers only for single loops.
