Using Pro Tracks Plus

When Pro Tracks Plus is first launched after installation, you will have to configure the MIDI device and Audio
settings to recognize the GNX4 as the hardware you want to use. These procedures must be followed to
ensure you will be able to record audio through all of the GNX4's inputs and to enable the hands-free
recording capabilities the GNX4 offers.
NOTE: Read the Software Installation sheet that came packaged with the GNX4 for
instructions on installing USB drivers before connecting the GNX4 to the USB port on your
PC and using Pro Tracks Plus.
Installing Pro Tracks Plus Software
Pro Tracks Plus software must be installed on your computer in order to use the recording capabilities of
the GNX4. To install Pro Tracks Plus, please consult the installation instructions provided with the Pro
Tracks Plus installation CD.

Setting Up the GNX4 MIDI Device

The GNX4 uses MIDI commands to communicate with Pro Tracks Plus. These commands are used to
determine which USB 1-2 Source and USB 3-4 Source settings have been selected so that Pro Tracks Plus
can function properly when using the GNX4's hands-free recording features. To configure Pro Tracks
Plus' MIDI settings for use with the GNX4 follow the steps outlined below:
1. Start Pro Tracks Plus application on your computer.
2. If the Tip of the Day window appears, click the Close button.
3. If no previous MIDI outputs have been selected, the No MIDI Outputs Selected window will
appear. Click the Choose MIDI Outputs Now button. The MIDI Devices window will open.
4. Under both Input and Output Selections, choose GNX4 USB MIDI. Do not select DigiTech USB
X-Edit or any other available selections. Click the Move Selected Devices to Top button.
5. Click the OK button and the window will close.
6. If the Quick Start window appears, click the Close button.

Setting up the GNX4 for Hands-Free Recording

1. From the Pro Tracks Plus menu bar, select Options>Control Surfaces. The Control Surfaces win-
dow will appear.
2. Click the + button to add a new control surface. The Control Surface Settings window will open.
3. In the Control Surface pull-down menu, select DigiTech GNX. Verify that the Input and Output
port settings still have GNX4 USB MIDI selected. If they do not, do this now.
4. Click the OK button. DigiTech GNX should now be displayed as the Connected Surface in the
Control Surfaces Window.
6. Click the Close button.
7. Pro Tracks Plus can now respond to the GNX4 for automated recording functions. See the
