2101
• How do I install a PPC210 card?
Remove the lid of the 2101, and make sure power is disconnected.
Find the S-Disc on the circuit board. It is a large square chip usually in a brown socket. The chip may have a number on it starting with 72-. This number must be the same as the one on the second S-Disc which is on the PPC 210 card. The PPC210 fits over this S-Disc which is already on the circuit board, and connects to a multi-pin socket. Do a hard reset after installation. This is done by having the 2101 off, press and hold the #1 button by the on/off switch, turn on the 2101, let go of the #1 button, then press and release the Program Up arrow button.• How do I set up the GSP2101 and Control One

7. Press 'Store' a few times to save your changes.• How do I reinitialize the 2120 (return it to factory settings)?
To reinitialize the 2120, turn the power off, press and hold the "preamp" button down while turning the power back on. After about 2 seconds, release the preamp button, and press the "mod" button once. The display will briefly show "resetting", and return to a normal operating mode.• How do I change assignments for the expression pedal when I'm using the Control One with the 2120?
To change assignments for the expression pedal on the Control One when using it with the 2120, you must first un-assign it from the parameter it is currently controlling.
The following procedure will un-assign the current function.
1. From the title of the program, press the "assign" button twice
2. Use the "page" knob to scroll through and find the parameter which is currently being controlled by the expression pedal.
3. Roll the #1 knob counterclockwise to turn off the link.
This has disconnected the expression pedal from controlling that parameter.
You now have to link the new parameter to the expression pedal. The following are the steps for assigning a new parameter.
1. Scroll through the programs parameters until you find the parameter that you want to assign to the expression pedal.
2. Roll the knob that corresponds to that parameter.
3. Press the "assign" button once.
4. Rock the expression pedal back and forth once.
5. Store the changes to the preset by pressing the "store" button 3 times.
NOTE: If you're trying to assign the expression pedal to act as a wah, you need to scroll to your wah parameters, and then roll the knob which corresponds to the wah pedal (#2 knob) before pressing the assign button.• How do I access the cabinet emulator on the 2120?
To access the cabinet emulator on the 2120, press the button that says "other" above it until you reach the "master mix" section. Then roll the "page" knob to page 2. Here you will find the cabinet emulator on/off , the emulation type, and the pre/post parameters.• How do I assign the "solo" function to a footswitch on the control one?
The following steps will assign the solo button to a footswitch on the control one.
1. Press the "other" button until you reach the "master mix" section.
2. Roll the "page" knob to get to page 3.
3. Press the assign button once.
4. Press the footswitch that you want to have activate/deactivate the solo function on the control one.
5. Press the store button 3 times to save the assignment to the program.• How do I assign the expression pedal to morph?
The following steps will assign the expression pedal to the preamp morphing function.
1. Press the "other " button until you reach the "master mix" section.
2. Roll the "page" knob until you get to page 4
3. Roll the #3 knob until the display shows "morphing"
4. Press the store button 3 times to save the assignments to the program.• What does the negative feedback parameter of the delay effect do?
Negative feedback using short delay times will produce an out of phase repeat that flips in and out of phase with each repeat, this is good for creating different textured sounds when using delay for slapback and doubling type effects. You could also modulate the delay time within a range from 2 to 20 or 30 milliseconds to create flanging or chorus and the negative feedback is inverted and gives a different type of sound to the flanging or chorusing effect.
I hope this makes sence, you would have to experiment to find out what the difference in sound is, but it makes for some interesting and different sounds to play around with.• How do I assign my favorite programs to the footswitches on the Control One?
Assigning programs to the switches on the Control One is very easy. Just follow these steps.
1. Roll the big program knob to select the program you want to assign.
2. Press the assign switch once.
3. Press the footswitch on the Control One that you want to have your program assigned to.
You have now assigned the program to the footswitch.• How do you assign midi control to specific parameters?
To assign Midi Control Change Messages to a Effect parameter, highlight the parameter you want, press the Assign button twice, then use the #2 knob to assign a midi cc number.
BNX3
• How do I do a hard reset on my BNX3?
You can reset the BNX3 by pressing and holding in the Drums button, (the one by the data wheel, not the one on the recorder) as you turn on the power. When the display shows "RESET", let go of the drums button and press the MODE button. When the display shows "TOE DOWN" move the expression pedal all the way forward and press the #3 footswitch. The display should then show "TOE UP". Move the pedal all the way back towards you and press the #4 footswitch. The display should then show "VSWITCH". Move the pedal forward and put some pressure on it until you see the numerical display change numbers, then back the pedal off again. It is now reset.
BP50
• What is the reset?
Power up while holding the Left Edit /Effect button. When two horizontal lines appear in the display, let go of the arrow button. Then press and release the STORE button.
BP8
• Does the BP8 bass processor have midi capability?
No.• Is the BP8's operating system the same as the RP6/RP7's?
Yes, for the most part if you have ever used an RP6/RP7 you will feel right at home with the BP8.• Is the BP8 really just an RP7 with a few tweaks?
Not at all...the entire circuit board was redesigned with the bass player in mind. The compressor for example was completely redesigned because the requirments of the bass player are completely different than the guitar player. Likewise the PreAmp and tube sections were redone according to the needs of the bass...not the guitar.• How do I change the assignment for the expression pedal?
The expression pedal on the BP8 can only control one parameter at a time. Changing the assignment is a very easy process. Follow these steps to change the parameter assigned to the expression pedal.
1. Select the preset that you want to change the assignment on (with the value up/down buttons, or footswitches). 2. Press the "edit" button once. 3. Watching the horizontal LED's on the RP6's matrix, select the compressor column by use of the parameter right/left buttons. 4. Use the parameter up/down buttons to select the vertical led corresponding to the "CC pedal type" parameter.
The red display will now show "CC and a number between 1 and 8" . At this point you need to decide which of the assignable parameters you want to assign. You will notice that on the matrix, there are 8 different parameters that are followed by a CC number in parenthesis. This is the number that corresponds to the expression pedal controlling that parameter.
5. Use the "value" up/down buttons to change the CC number in the red display to reflect the CC number in the parenthesis following the parameter you want to assign.
For instance, if you want the expression pedal to be a wah, you would select CC 2. If you want the expression pedal to control the reverb level, you would select CC 8.
6. Press the store button twice to save the change to the preset.• How do I copy one preset to another preset location?
The following steps will copy one preset to another location.
1. Select the preset that you want to make a copy of (using the value up/down buttons, or a footswitch).
2. Press the store button once. The red display will now have a flashing "U" in it.
3. Use the value up/down buttons to select the preset number that you want to copy your preset to.
4. Press the store button again. You will now have a copy of your preset in the new location.• How do I assign my favorite presets to a particular footswitch.
The footswitch assignments on the BP8 cannot be changed. However, you can assign your presets to the switches, but not the switches to the presets. To assign the presets to the switches, you would just use the copy feature in the previous Q & A.
For example, if you wanted to have the #1 switch call up the sound in preset #44, and your number #2 switch call up the sound in preset #82, you would copy preset 44 to the "U01" location, and copy preset #82 to the "U02 location. Now when you are in the "U-0" bank, the number one switch will have the sound of 44 at the number 1 switch, and the sound of 82 at the number 2 switch. Although the display will not show the actual preset numbers of 44 or 82, the sounds will be the same because you have copied presets 44 and 82 to new locations.• How do I restore one preset only, to its original form?
You will notice that when the BP8 factory, and user presets were exact duplicates of each other when the unit was first taken out of the box. In other words, presets "U01" through "U94" are exact copies of presets "F01" through "F94". So, to restore just one of your user presets to it's original form, just select the factory equivalent (F72 if you're trying to restore U72), and copy it to the user location.• How do I reset the entire BP8 to the factory programs?
Note: this will erase and reset all programs to their original factory settings! To reinitialize the BP8, disconnect the power, press and hold the "parameter up" arrow while you reconnect the power. After about 2 seconds, release the parameter up button, and press the "value up" button once. This will reset the entire unit.
Control7
• Is the Control 7 only for Guitar Applications?
Certainly not...while keyboard palyers enjoy the advantage of the sustain pedal (allowing them to do something *else* with their hands), their amy be times when using your feet would be better. One could change MIDI controllable lights, or even switch effects at the mixing console.• Can a Control 7 be used instead of a Control 1 with DigiTech Guitar Processors?
Yes, but the response time won't be quite as quick as a Control 1 because of the Control 1's proprietary communication methods.
Control8
• Is the Control 8 only for Guitar Applications?
Certainly not...while keyboard players enjoy the advantage of the sustain pedal (allowing them to do something *else* with their hands), their amy be times when using your feet would be better. One could change MIDI controllable lights, or even switch effects at the mixing console.• Can a Control 8 be used instead of a Control 1 with DigiTech Guitar Processors?
Yes, but the response time won't be quite as quick as a Control 1 because of the Control 1's proprietary communication methods.
ControlOne
• Can the Control One be used as a stand alone MIDI Control Pedal?
No it cannot...although once it is connected to a DigiTech Device, it act as a very flexible MIDI Control Pedal in addition to controlling the Device directly.• Can I use a Control One with my Johnson Millennium?
Yes you can...it is completely compatible.• Can I use a Control One to control other products via MIDI if the Control One is connected to say a 2120?
Yes...in a sense the 2120 (or some other DigiTech product) would be controlling the other product while the 2120 was being controlled by the Control One. Program Changes, CC On/Off values, and CC Expression Pedal values could be sent via MIDI to the other product you wish to control. Each DigiTech product may differ slightly in its programming to accomplish this...refer to the users manual for details.
GNX1
• What is cabinet tuning?
Cabinet tuning is as if you actually changed the size of the cabinet and speaker system’s physical dimensions, making it larger or smaller. This changes a cabinet’s response and resonance characteristics.• How is GeNetX™ better than modeling?
A. Modeling essentially is an end point in your sound. You can select 1 amp type and have minimal control over the tone gain and that’s it. With GENTEX™ processors, you can create your own model from any 2 models and then combine it with other models to create 2nd and 3rd generation amp models that were never before available.• Can a I warp between 2 amps in real time?
Yes, this can be done either via the expression pedal, internal LFOs, or MIDI CC control. There are three different ways you can warp: you can either warp between amp models only; you can warp between speaker cabinets only; or warp between amp/cabinet combinations.• Can you make a hypermodel from a hypermodel?
Yes, you can. Once you have created a hypermodel, it can now be selected as either a red or green amp and combined with another amp to create a second generation hypermodel.• What is the hard reset for a GNX1?
Unit off.
Press and hold Rhythm button.
Power on.
When Reset? appears in display,let go of Rhythm.
Press and release FX MODE button.
When TOE DN appears in display, put expression pedal toe down,
Press/release the flashing footswitch.
Put Toe Up, press and release flashing footswitch.
V-Switch appears in display.
Put toe down on expression pedal, apply pressure to toe until V Switch value in the display increases.
Process is ended.• How does the GNX differ from the GENESIS 3?
The GNX is designed primarily as a live performance system and the GENESIS 3 is designed primarily for recording. Although the GENESIS 3, with the optional foot controller, can be used for live performance as well.• Why is modeling cool?
Modeling gets you as close to the sound of your favorite amp without actually having to own one, thus saving you thousands of dollars and lots of space.• Can I use GENETX™ products as a multi-effects?
Yes, every GENETXs™ product is equipped with a vast library of studio quality effects.• How is modeling limited?
Modeling is essentially an endpoint. Any given amp model offers a specific sound
with limited control over that sound.• When I create a hypermodel does it sound good?
We’re confident that the combination of any two amp models will produce exciting new sounds and we absolutely encourage you to experiment. We also invite you to join our online community of users in sharing your creations with others.• Do GENETX™ products still do modeling?
Yes, they do. Each Genetx product has factory based models of popular modern and vintage amplifiers.• What does the Warp control do?
The Warp control allows you to combine the characteristics of any two amp models in varying ratios. This resultant ratio can then be saved off as a new hypermodel.• How many hypermodels can I save?
The GNX 1 allows you to save off 9 user hypermodels within the GNX1’s internal memory with the GENEDIT Computer Editor Librarian software you can save off as many hypermodels as your hard drive will allow. These can then be imported to the GNX 1 as needed.• Isn’t Warp just pan or a crossfade?
No, warping extracts the characteristics of each amp and combines the two into a completely new sound. Whereas panning or crossfading simply increases the level of one while decreasing the level of the other, while not actually combining their actual characteristics.
The warp control changes the ratio of the characteristics between the two amps (for example: 25% Blackface, 75% British Stack). Once you’ve created an overall ratio between the two that you like you can actually save that off as an individual amp “hypermodel.”
GNX2
• How do I connect my GNX through the effects loop of my amp if I only want to use effects and not amp modeling?
To connect via effects loop, connect the send of the loop to he guitar input of the GNX, and connect the left 1/4 inch output of the GNX to the return of the amp.
Next, select a preset on the GNX, and in that preset put the amp model and the cabinet model on DIRECT. Press the Utility Button, go to the target system, and put that on DIRECT or FX4x12.
Next, press the MODE switch until it is lit yellow. In this mode, your numbered footswitches will act as on/off switches for the various effects written above them such as delay. You will still need to go into the preset and adjust the effect the way you want, such as chorus speed or depth.
GNX3
• What can I use to control the recorder externally?
The optional DigiTech FS-300 allows remote control of the recorder transport. This frees up the GNX3 footswitches for toggling effects or changing presets while recording or looping.• Does the mic input provide phantom power?
No. We recommend using an external phantom power supply or microphone preamp when using condensor microphones.• Do I have to have a SmartMedia™ card to record?
No. The GNX3 includes 16 megabytes of internal memory for recording. In Economy mode, this allows for 12 minutes of recording.• How long of a loop can be used?
The length of the loop is determined by the length of the first loop you record. Each subsequent layer or loop will automatically fit the length of the first loop. The length of the first loop only depends on available memory-from milliseconds to hours.• How many minutes of audio can I record?
Using a 128 megabyte SmartMedia™ card, the GNX3 is capable of recording up to 25 minutes of CD quality audio. The time can be divided among the 8 available tracks or used completely on a single track. Recording time can be increased by using the "Normal" or "Economy" recording modes. Time is increased to 50 minutes or 99 minutes respectively.• Can the recorder function as a looper?
After entering loop mode, each of the recorder's 8 tracks can be looped and layered just as a traditional looper. With the power of 8 separate loops and expandable external memory, the GNX3 might just be the most powerful looping device available. Once you stop the loop function, all the audio remains in tact on the SmartMedia™ card-or in the internal memory for further development later.• How do I download patches from the user patch library into my gnx3.
When you downloaded the patches from the web site to your PC, were you able to extract them and view them in your document/settings?
You may need to do a windows search to locate them.
If so open a patch folder to view the different patch titles and double click on the file that you would like to import to GEN EDIT.
You need to have the gnx3 connected via MIDI in order to do this.
By double clicking you are sending the file to gen edit.
You should be able at this point to see the title of the patch along the top of gen edit and view the settings.
In the gen edit file menu select STORE TO DEVICE AS.
A dialog box with the user location that the patch can be stored to will appear.
This lets you store the new patch in any of the user locations.
You will now be able to see the title of the new patch displayed in the GNX3.• Can you swap a SmartMedia™ card into another GNX3 and have it play back your saved tracks?
Yes. Any GNX3 can playback music created by any other GNX3 when saved to the SmartMedia™ card.• Will the GNX3 erase digital pictures or other data I have stored on my card?
No. The GNX3 will only be concerned with audio tracks that you recorded using the GNX3. Any other information on the card will remain in tact.• When you dump the contents of a SmartMedia™ card into your computer does it retain the 8 tracks separately?
Yes. The file transfer will result in a set of mono wav files which lets you retain track sync. The number of files depends on the number of recorded tracks in recorder.• What is happening while the word "BUSY" appears in the display?
When a SmartMedia™ card is inserted into the GNX3, the card needs to be initialized. This process involves reading the card to determine if existing information is present and allocating any empty space to the recorder. The larger the card, the longer the "BUSY" process.• I record but can't hear playback.
Your output is improperly set. Press Utility. Turn Data wheel counterclockwise until display reads MONO or STEREO only. Then you will be able to hear what you record.• On the GNX-3, how can I record a track that is longer than the first track I recorded? Or, how can I extend the length of an existing track?
Enter the song setup menu of the song you are working on and press the setup button until you see AUTOSTOP appear in the display. Change the setting to OFF. If you intend to record a second track longer than the first, or longer than any of the existing tracks, you will need to have the AUTOSTOP feature turned off. After the longest track you intend to have has been recorded, you can go back to the setup and turn AUTOSTOP back to the ON setting. The GNX-3 will now automatically stop playback or loop at the end of the longest recorded track.• Can I have more than one song on a single card?
Yes. Songs are arranged in folders with individual audio tracks inside each folder. You can create as many separate songs as you want depending on the size of the card.• How do I put recorded tracks into Cakewalk?
You will need a smart media card reader on the computer. Once you have that you should be able to read the GNX files on the computer. Open up the cakewalk program. Select insert and then wave file. Point it to the smart media card reader and the track you want to import. Do this process for each track and then you can edit and mix them inside of Guitar Tracks.• Why is the time counter counting backwards on my GNX-3?
You can use the REMAIN button in the recorder section on your GNX-3 to toggle between remaining track minutes or time remaining in the song during playback. When it is counting backwards, the GNX3 is showing the
time remaining in the song during playback.• What bass amp models does the GNX3 have?
Notice that there is a bank of BASS presets in BANK 5 labeled BASS AMPS. Presets 21 through 25 are for the Bass dudes who want to plug in their basses. Actually preset 22 is for guitar players who wan to lay down a Bass track to the recorder. Notice that when selecting an amp type using the pots that selections 18, 19, and 20 are the bass amps. The version of GenEdit that is compatible with the GNX3 has the Bass Amps as well.• What happens if all of my tracks are full and I still want to add more?
Unlike other recording devices, the GNX3 allows you to bounce a complete stereo mix from all 8 tracks down to a single track or pair of tracks (for stereo mixes) without losing audio from the tracks to be recorded over. This frees up memory and tracks for more recording.• When downloading the firmware upgrade, the upgrade didn't complete, now my unit looks dead? What can I do?
When a download is interrupted, it is characteristic for the unit to appear dead. Try running the updater and when it shows "Trying to connect", power up the GNX3 right then. You may need to do this a couple of times, as the timing can be a bit tricky. You can also redownload the previous software from the CDROM that came with the unit.• I just recorded tracks on my GNX-3 using the input G1 > M2. I have the guitar track on track 1, how come my mic track didn't record onto track 2? Where did my mic track go?
On the GNX-3, selecting G1 > M2 in the recorder setup menu, as the record input, will not automatically arm 2 tracks for recording. You will need to either select stereo mode ON or arm 2 sequential tracks (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 or 7 and 8.) before recording them.• How come the click track keeps playing when I try to sync drums to a track?
To use sync drum function with a drum pattern you choose, it is necessary to first go into set-up menu and turn the click track off.• On the GNX-3, I chose G + MICMOD as the record input, how come I can hear delay as well as the mod effects?
When choosing G + MICMOD as the record input on the GNX-3, the Mic signal will include both Mod effects and Delay effects. If you do not want Delay included, simply edit your preset to have Delay effects turned off before recording the mic signal.• How can I monitor in true stereo?
To monitor in true stereo real time, set Rec Input in song set-up to G+R1->Mic2. In the Utility menu, select G+L Rec Rt for the Analog Out. On the guitar side, you need to set up a clean, direct patch with no amp modeling, effects, or expression pedal assignments.• On my GNX-3, I tried to change the record quality mode from CD to LP or EP and it won't let me change the setting. Why?
If you have any tracks or material pre-recorded on your GNX-3, the record quality mode will be "locked in" to the mode of the first track. In order to change this setting, you will need to delete any previous tracks that were recorded with the other mode or erase the song. The record quality mode of the first track recorded on each song determines the record quality mode of all the tracks for the entire song. Be sure to set the desired mode before recording any tracks.• I just recorded a couple of mono tracks. Where are they?
Check your analog output setting in the Utility menu.• How do I connect my GNX through the effects loop of my amp if I only want to use effects and not amp modeling?
To connect via effects loop, connect the send of the loop to he guitar input of the GNX, and connect the left 1/4 inch output of the GNX to the return of the amp.
Next, select a preset on the GNX, and in that preset put the amp model and the cabinet model on DIRECT. Press the Utility Button, go to the target system, and put that on DIRECT or FX4x12.
Next, press the MODE switch until it is lit yellow. In this mode, your numbered footswitches will act as on/off switches for the various effects written above them such as delay. You will still need to go into the preset and adjust the effect the way you want, such as chorus speed or depth.• I am using the S/PDIF output on my GNX-3 to my computer's sound card. I can't hear my recorded tracks, what happened?
There are several settings for the Digital Output on the GNX-3. In the UTILITY section, you can choose between 4 different output modes for the S/PDIF output. The options are as follows:
GTR + REC = You will hear the Guitar and Recorder sections mixed together at the Digital Out.
G-DRY = You will only hear the Dry guitar signal only (no effects) at the Digital out.
G-AMP = You will hear amp modeling, cabinet and noise gate only (no effects).
RECORDER = You will only hear the recorder section at the Digital out.
In order to hear your recorded tracks out the S/PDIF output, you will need to choose either GTR + REC or RECORDER in the Digital Output Configuration page of the UTILITY section.• Can I undo a track other than the last recorded track?
Yes. After pressing Undo the first time, press the track # you want to undo, then press Undo a second time within 3 seconds.• I just bought a GNX-3 unit a couple days ago and I tried to merge the tracks together and I did what the manual says, I clicked it to a yellow track along with a red track and hit record, it went thru the song, but still there were the same tracks there with no tracks together.
When you are done merging tracks, the original tracks are not automatically deleted. If you recorded 4 tracks, then merged tracks 2,3,4 (these tracks green) onto track 1 (yellow), you would press record and let the song play through (completely), then, the result would be: Track 1 will have all 4 tracks mixed together. Tracks 2,3 and 4 will still be the same as they were but can now be erased if you don't need them. You can mute them (led off) and listen only to track 1 (green) and hear all 4 tracks together. Merge cannot be un-done. Just remember, any tracks that are green (play-back color) will be merged (recorded on top of) any tracks that are yellow. Only 2 tracks can be yellow at a time. Tracks that are yellow do not have to be empty in order to use them for the merge function. None of the tracks should be red unless you are recording new material at the same time you are merging tracks.• What is the hard reset for the GNX3?
Unit off.
Press and hold the DRUMS button(not the one on the recorder)
Power up.
Release DRUMS.
Press and release MODE button.
When display reads TOE DOWN, put expression pedal down and press/release lit footswitch.
Put toe up, press/release lit footswitch.
V Switch will appear in display. Put pressure on toe down position. This completes the process.• What do I do when the free Cakewalk Guitar Tracks 30 day trial version is up?
When the 30 days after first installation are ending, open the Help window on the program, then click on About Cakewalk. A serial number will be given. Save this number. Go to Help again, then to Register Online. Enter this number and you will get an unlock code to keep using the program.• What mixing functions are available on the GNX3?
After recording your tracks, the controls on the GNX3 allow for mixing the levels and the stereo position of each individual track.• How do I delete the factory sample recordings?
Delete as follows:
GNX3 off.
Press and hold the Record button.
GNX3 on.
When the display reads FORMAT, let go of RECORD,
then press and release RECORD again.
Display will read ERASING.• Do I have to start playing immediately after pressing the record button?
No. The setup menu allows for a pre-roll of 4 or 8 beats. A click track can be configured to play during the pre-roll to help set the tempo before the actual recording starts. The pre-roll can also be disabled for quick-start recording.• Can I add effects to a track after recording it?
Yes. Using the re-amp function, an internal track can be re-routed through the GNX3's powerful effect section to add any combination of effects or amp models to the recorded track. Once the desired effect is found, the original track can be overwritten with the new one.• What if I make a small mistake, but want to keep most of the track I just recorded?
The GNX3 allows for punch ins/outs. Practice the faulty section until it is just right. Then punch in and record it. Punch out when you're done. The audio before and after the punch section remains in tact. You might also try the quantize function which automatically corrects notes which are slightly off-beat to the nearest eighth or sixteenth note.• So, can I record a full arrangement with the GNX3?
Yes. For example, after recording the drums on track 8, you might go back and lay down the bass on track 7. Then add a couple of guitar parts on two other tracks. You can even use the XLR mic input to record the vocals. All of this can be done while monitoring existing tracks through the GNX3's main outputs or headphone outputs.• How come my GNX3 won't let me select reamp for the record input?
You can only reamp mono tracks.• Can I record the rhythm patterns from the onboard drum machine?
Yes. In fact, you can create new patterns by changing the pattern while recording the drum track.• How many different inputs are available for simultaneous recording?
Two. There are three total inputs for recording: microphone, guitar and line (jam-a-long). Any two of these can record to any two of the recorder's 8 tracks. This allows for stereo recording from an external source. Use any individual input for mono recording.• Can you use the Cakewalk software that comes with the GNX3 to create a single track with many different drumbeats?
Can you use the Cakewalk software that comes with the GNX3 to create a single track with many different drumbeats?
Yes, you can arrange and assemble .wav files in Cakewalk or any other program designed to edit audio of this type. Once you are finished with the .wav files, you can use a USB SmartMedia™ card reader to transfer .wav files to and from the SmartMedia™ card. This makes editing drumbeats a snap!
What are the system requirements for the Cakewalk software?
Windows OS. 98,ME,2000. Not sure about XP.
Can you record backup tracks to accompany your live playing and if so, how many and how do you access these tracks while playing (do you hit a pedal?)?
Yes, if your backup tracks are converted or available in the .wav file format, you can transfer the .wav files to a SmartMedia™ Card. The GNX3 allows for up to 99 different song locations. You are only limited to the amount of memory on your SmartMedia™ Card. A card 128 meg size will hold up to 24 minutes of CD quality audio. The pedals will allow you to select a song location and provide play, rewind, stop, etc.
Does the quality of your sound card affect the final recording quality when using uploaded files from your GNX3's media card? And where do you connect the media card (USB, parallel port, etc.)?
The only way your sound card would affect the sound quality is if you were to use the analog 1/4" outputs of the GNX3 to transfer your tracks to the computer. If you use a SmartMedia™ card reader, you will only be limited by the quality of the record mode used to record the original tracks. Also, if you use the S/PDIF digital output, there would not be any generation loss to your sound card. This is only available if your sound card is equipped with a S/PDIF type digital audio input.• Can I save my recordings as MP3 files for use on the Internet?
Audio files can be transferred to a computer using an optional SmartMedia™ card reader. Files are stored in the .wav file format but can be easily converted to MP3 format by using most audio software packages available for the computer.• When I insert the SmartMedia™ card in the GNX3, what happens to the GNX3 internal memory?
The internal memory on the GNX3 is set aside when a SmartMedia™ card is inserted. Function enables when the SmartMedia™ card is removed.• What resolution and sample-rate are used for the recordings?
The recorder always records at 16 bit, 44.1kHz. Using the different recording modes, recording time is increased by limiting bandwidth. You'll notice a slight loss of frequencies in the upper range above 10kHz as the recording mode is changed from "Normal" to "Economy."• I need to update the firmware in my GNX3, will this procedure erase my songs or any individual tracks that I have recorded?
No, updating the GNX3 firmware does not affect any pre-recorded material either on a SmartMedia™ card or in the internal song memory and will NOT erase any tracks or songs.• What size of SmartMedia™ card is recommended?
Generally, we recommend using the largest SmartMedia™ card available (currently 128 mb). This will afford you the longest recording time and is usually the best value for your money.• I just recorded some tracks onto a SmartMedia™ card, now I want to add some .wav files onto the card, how do I do that?
Make sure to perform a CARD to PC function before removing the SmartMedia™ card from your GNX3. Press the SETUP button several times until your GNX3 display reads CARD >> PC. Press the RECORD button. When the counter in the time display reads 0, the display will read PC READY, then say REMOVE. Pull out the SmartMedia™ card and place it into your computer's SmartMedia™ card reader. Add the .wav files making sure to follow the proper naming conventions listed on page 47 of the user's guide. When you put the card back into the GNX3, the files will be converted back to the GNX3 format.• Can I record stereo tracks into my GNX3 from an external source and actually monitor what I am recording in stereo?
Yes, if you plan to record in stereo from an external source, you will first need to create a user preset with all effects set to off and amp/cabinet models set to DIRECT. Then you will need to enter song setup and choose G>1 M>2 as the record input. Use the guitar input as your left input and the MIC input as your right input (you may need to use an adapter to convert the XLR connector to 1/4" when recording line level sources like CD players or keyboards). In order to monitor or listen to what you are recording (as you are recording it) in Stereo as well, you will need to enter the GNX3 utility setup and choose G>L R>R as the Analog Output Configuration.
While you are monitoring or listening to the stereo source, use the MIC input adjustment knob to balance the right input level and use your "empty" preset's amp level paramter to adjust the left input level. Generally, it is best to set the amp level at maximum and use the mic level to balance your right input to match. When you are done recording and want to listen to the tracks you have recorded in stereo, you will need to go back to the Utility section and change the analog output back to stereo mode. NOTE: you will only be able to monitor or listen to your input source in stereo with the Analog 1/4" outputs or headphones. You will not be able to monitor in stereo through the S/PDIF output.• Does the GNX3 send MIDI program change commands?
Yes, the GNX3 will send midi program change commands. There is a misprint stating the contrary on page 68 of the owners manual.• Do I need a computer sound card to transfer my recorded tracks from the GNX-3 to the computer?
Yes, if you need to transfer any tracks that are recorded to your GNX-3's internal memory, you will need to use either the analog or digital audio outputs on the GNX-3 in order to "play" them into your computer in real-time. Recording audio into a computer from an external source will generally require the use of a sound card and recording software. If your tracks are recorded onto a SmartMedia™ card, all that is required to transfer them to the computer is an inexpensive SmartMedia™ Card Reader. If you are transferring tracks to the computer that were recorded with the GNX-3, make sure to perform the CARD>PC function first. Then when prompted to, remove the card and place it into your SmartMedia™ card reader to access the tracks in your computer.• What is the low level format for the GNX3?
GNX3 OFF.
Press and hold SETUP button.
Power on GNX3.
When LOWLEVEL appears on display, let go of SETUP.
Press and release UNDO button.• Why won't any of the CC#'s that are assigned to control the (Coarse) parameters work for my GNX-3?
Try using the CC#'s for (Fine) control. The CC's have been combined together, only the (Fine) control CC#'s will function on the GNX series units.

• What does the Warp control do?
The Warp control allows you to combine the characteristics of any two amp models in varying ratios. This resultant ratio can then be saved off as a new hypermodel.• After downloading updated firmware, my unit shows "TOE DOWN" in the display, what do I do now?
"TOE DOWN" represents a prompt to calibrate the pedal. Rock the expression pedal all the way in the forward position and press the footswitch that is flashing, (On GNX2 this is the EFFECT footswitch, on GNX3 it is the CHORUS footswitch) The diplay will show "TOE UP" Rock the exression pedal back towards you and press the lit footswitch (Delay) It now shows VSWITCH, push the pedal forward and put pressure on the toe, then back the pedal off again.• How many hypermodels can I save?
The GNX 1 allows you to save off 9 user hypermodels within the GNX1’s internal memory with the GENEDIT Computer Editor Libarian software you can save off as many hypermodels as your hard drive will allow. These can then be imported to the GNX as needed.• Isn’t Warp just pan or a crossfade?
No, warping extracts the characteristics of each amp and combines the two into a completely new sound. Whereas panning or crossfading simply increases the level of one while decreasing the level of the other, while not actually combining their actual characteristics.• What is cabinet tuning?
Cabinet tuning is as if you actually changed the size of the cabinet and speaker system’s physical dimensions, making it larger or smaller. This changes a cabinet’s response and resonance characteristics.• Can a I warp between 2 amps in real time?
Yes, This can be done either via the expression pedal, internal LFOs, or MIDI CC control. There are three different ways you can warp: you can either warp between amp models only; you can warp between speaker cabinets only; or warp between amp/cabinet combinations.• Can you make a hypermodel from a hypermodel?
Yes, you can. Once you have created a hypermodel, it can now be selected as either a red or green amp and combined with another amp to create a second generation hypermodel.• How does the GNX differ from the Genesis?
The GNX is designed primarily as a live performance system and the GENESIS 3 is designed primarily for recording. Although the GENESIS 3, with the optional foot controller, can be used for live performance as well.• Why is modeling cool?
Modeling gets you as close to the sound of your favorite amp without actually having to own one, thus saving you thousands of dollars and lots of space.• Can I use Genetx products as a multi-effects?
Yes, every GENETXs product is equipped with a vast library of studio quality effects.• How is modeling limited?
Modeling is essentially an endpoint. Any given amp model offers a specific sound
with limited control over that sound.• When I create a hypermodel does it sound good?
We’re confident that the combination of any two amp models will produce exciting new sounds and we absolutely encourage you to experiment. We also invite you to join our online community of users in sharing your creations with others.• Do GENETX™ products still do modeling?
Yes, they do. Each GENETX™ product has factory based models of popular modern and vintage amplifiers.
General Knowledge
• Where can I get a power supply?
Order the power supply from our Outlet Store at www.digitech.com, under Resources, or call 801-566-8800 to order.• I can't hear a difference with the cabinet emulator turned on. How come?
If you're playing through any kind of speaker, you won't hear a difference with the cabinet emulator turned on or off. This is because you're already playing through a speaker. The cabinet emulator is designed for use while sending the signal direct to a mixer, PA, or recording device.• What about tubes? How long will they last? How do I know if it's time to replace them? What kind of tube should I use to replace them?
If your processor has tubes, the life of your 12AX7 tube(s) can vary greatly depending on use. Generally they'll last anywhere from 2-4 years. You'll start to notice the quality of the tube distortion isn't quite the same as it used to be. That's when it's time to change the tube(s). Any 12AX7 tube will work fine. Once you've gotten into the inside of your unit, simply pull the tube out of its socket and plug in the new one. Be sure the pins line up properly on the socket before you firmly press the tube into place.• What is a phrase sampler?
A Phrase Sampler is a Delay effect that allows continuous regeration of a sampled audio input. This can be used to loop a portion of an audio signal for as long as the delay or sample time allows. This is possible on units that contain either Phrase Sampling or continuous regeration of the delay feedback.• Can the Vocalist Live 2 and Live 4 be used with instruments other than guitar?
The Live2/4 are made for guitar. A keyboard will not generate consistent harmonies. The Live 4 features an operating mode that requires no instrument be connected. You simply enter the key, and Major or Minor.• Is it possible to order parts online?
Parts such as power supplies, foot switch actuators, switches , cables, pots, and accessories may be ordered from our web store at www.digitech.com.• What is a Passive Volume Pedal?
The term "passive" refers to a pedal that does not require a battery and is capable of using no power to provide variable resistance. An example of this type is Roland EV5. This is more commonly refered to as an expression pedal or CV pedal. This can only be used for volume if the pedal is designed for volume. Most Volume pedals require the use of an internal battery, are not passive and cannot be used as an expression pedal. ALL expression pedals that are "passive" and are CV type will provide the proper function.• Do I have to use a sequencing program to save my presets/programs into the computer?
No, for bulk dumps, you should be able to find a shreware program capable of sending and receiving the sysex information and storing this info in your computer. Try www.synthzone.com and check their MIDI software utility section or the Editor/Librarian section for links.• Where can I get a schematic for my Digitech product?

You'll need a computer with a MIDI-capable sound card and MIDI cables to connect your computer to your unit. You'll also need some sort of MIDI sequencing software or sysex data recording program. To back up presets, connect the MIDI out of the processor to the MIDI in of the computer. Then start the computer program recording. Start sending the data by using the utility menu. To restore your presets, reverse the MIDI connection and press play or send on the computer program. The processor will automatically receive the data.• What is the difference between the GNX4 and the GNX3000?
. The GNX4 will loop, play mp3s, store presets on the optional compact flash card, and has very good sounding, versatile drums. The GNX3000 has none of these features(it does have drums but they aren't as flexible). The 3000 does have our latest amp models plus some new effects such as the univibe from our Hendrix pedal, and they all sound very impressive.• What is the hard reset for the GNX3000?
Power up while holding the STORE button. When the word RESET? appears on the display, let go of STORE, then press and release the MODE button. The unit will reset and ask for a pedal calibration. Put the TOE DOWN, then press and release the flashing footswitch. Then put the TOE UP on the pedal, and press/release the flashing footswitch.• How can I record with a GNX product on my new MAC computer?
All of our USB audio products use the Core Audio driver which is built into all Mac systems for recording/playback. We don't supply any drivers for Mac, our products just work. In the case of say using GarageBand, connect the GNX4 via USB and do the following:
1. Launch GarageBand.
2. Select the GarageBand>Preferences menu.
3. Click the Audio/MIDI icon.
4. Select DigiTech USB 1-2 In/Out for both the Audio Output and Audio Input options and confirm changing each driver as they are selected. Close the Preferences window.
5. Select the Track>New Track menu, click the Real Instrument Track button and click Create to put a new track in the Song project.
You should now be able to record on this new track. The process is somewhat similar on other recording apps but not identical in setting up.• I can’t hear any sound through my PC speakers via USB
The DigiTech Processor is an audio interface;
All audio input and output will pass through the DigiTech Processor. In order to hear the sound within recording software or while using X-Edit you must have studio monitors, headphones, or an amplifier connected to the DigiTech Processors outputs.
See Computer Recording via USB in your owner’s manual or software installation guide for proper setup.• How long will the internal battery last? How do I know when it is time to change it? Where can I get a replacement battery?
Most batteries will last around 5-6 years. If your processor starts to have a hard time remembering your user presets, then it is time to replace the battery.
Most Digitech products use a 3 volt lithium battery which can be obtained from most local electronics supply stores. This battery looks like a coin--or an oversized watch battery. Be sure to install the new battery with the positive (+) side touching the contact arm. Also, be sure the contact arm holds the battery firmly in place.
A handful of Digitech products (GSP21, DSP256, GFX-1, IPS33B) use a 4.5 volt battery which looks like a large AA battery. This battery is harder to find, but it can be ordered directly from Digitech by calling (801)566-8800.• I have my effects processor plugged into the main input on my guitar amplifier. How come my sound has so much noise in it? I want to use the preamp in my guitar amp.
Your Digitech processor is designed to be a preamp and an effects processor. Using the preamp in your guitar amplifier creates a conflict between the two preamps. Try connecting the main outputs on your processor to the effects return on your amp. This bypasses your amp's internal preamp and should clean up your sound.
If you want to use the preamp of your amp, connect your guitar directly into your amp. Use the effects loop of the amp to connect to your effects unit (send and return). Then turn off the preamp in the Digitech unit by editing the patch and bypassing all the preamp parameters.
Genesis3
• GenEdit will not connect with my Genesis3.
If you are having trouble with genedit detecting your device, take the midi

• JamMan Serial #
When filling out the warranty registration card to validate the JamMan warranty, please use the date code on the bar code sticker on the back of the JamMan box. For example NOV 06.
Also be sure to hold onto your sales receipt for any future warranty work.• How do I import loops from another source?
The audio format needs to be uncompressed .wav 44.1 kHz 16 bit mono; the file needs be named LOOP01, LOOP02, LOOP03, ECT. The wav needs to be named LOOP. Record a loop on the JamMan, connect the JamMan to the computer, and double click on the JamMan folder, then double click on the LOOP01 folder or the folder of the loop # you created. At this point you will see the loop WAV file and the XML file right click on the loop wav file click properties, click the summary tab. You need to make sure that the wav file you are trying to place on the JamMan matches these Loop properties.
The XML file is not needed in the loop01 loop02 loop03 ECT folder if you are placing loops created from another source onto the JamMan. The XML file is associated with the rhythm for loops created on the JamMan and is not necessary for loops created from another source.• Where do I find the serial # and model?
The date code on the box is the serial number, such as DEC05. The model designation is JML.• Is there a minimum length a loop has to be?
Yes. The JamMan Looper requires a loop be at least 3.5 seconds long. If a loop is shorter than 3.5 seconds, there will be gaps in playback.• Seamless loops
The Loop must be at least 3.5 seconds long, if the loop is shorter than 3.5 seconds longs there will be a delay in playback while the audio data is stored to memory.
If a tempo is not tapped into a loop location; recording will begin instantaneously upon pressing the Record button.
Keep an eye on the Record LED located below the display, when this LED lights up the JamMan is recording, it is possible silence is being recorded.• Does recording start when the footswitch is pressed or released?
It records on the press the first time you record into a new loop location that has nothing stored into it. When you try to record (overdub) over an existing loop, it records on the release due to the Undo functionality.• What must be done when importing loops from a computer to the JamMan Looper?
When downloading .wav files into the Jamman, there is short protocol to follow:
1) .wav files need to be 16 bit, 44.1K sampling rate
2).wav files must be MONO, not stereo files.
3) Create a folder in the JAMMAN drive that shows up when you plug in the USB connection, by right clicking, select NEW>FOLDER, and name the folder LOOP01, LOOP02, etc.
4)Before dragging the .wav file into the created folder, rename the wav file LOOP.wav

How can I tell the difference?
There are 2 sections in the RP100. Presets 1-40 are User and 41-80 are Factory. The only locations that can be stored to are the User presets. If you make a modification to any preset, then want to make those changes permanent, you MUST store the preset to a User location (1-40). When you are finished making your changes, press store once. If you are on a Factory preset, the display will change to a user location (1-40). Choose one of the User locations with the footswitches (1-40) and press store again.• What distortions are in the RP100, 200 and 300?
The distortions are contained in the amp models and are adjustable. There are 12 amp models.• What expression pedal can I use with my RP100? Does DigiTech make one for it? What kind of cable do I need to use with the expression pedal?
Any passive volume pedal will work with the RP100. DigiTech does not make one specifically for it. A standard 1/4" instrument cable will work. Simply connect the output of your expression pedal to the Control In of the RP100. If your expression pedal has an input as well, leave it open.• Where can I get a power supply for my RP100? Will a generic power supply work?
The power supply (PS0913B or PS750) can be ordered online from our Outlet Store. Generic power supplies will not work with this product because most generic power supplies carry a DC output. The correct power supply has an AC output.• I didn't receive a warranty registration card with my product. Can I register online?

RP14
• My RP14 seems warm after it's been on for a while, is this normal?
Yes, remember there is a 12AX7 tube in there which dissipates heat; it will get warm.• When I assign the expression pedal to a parameter, nothing happens, why?
The expression pedal will only be active if it is assigned to a parameter that exists in the selected effect. For example, the chorus effect does not have a feedback parameter, so you will not hear any change if the expression pedal is linked to "feedback".• When I use the jam-along jack, I only hear signal out of one side, why?
The jam-along jack is a stereo jack, so make sure that you are using a stereo tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) plug from your CD player.• How do I balance the volume levels between presets?

RP2000
• My RP2000 has power but there is no sound coming out. What's going on?
It sounds like the incorrect power supply is being used. This happens a lot. The correct power supply is the PS0920 which has an AC output. Most other power supplies have a DC output. Without the correct supply, the unit will power up, but will not produce any sound. A replacement can be purchased at http://outlet.digitech.com• How do I reinitialize the RP2000?
The reinitialization procedure will return everything (including user presets) back to the original factory settings. Hold in the RHYTHM button while turning the power ON. Hold the button until the display shows all X's. Finally, press the FX Mode button. Your RP2000 will briefly read 'RESET' and will then prompt you to re-calibrate the expression pedal. When the display reads 'TOE UP' rock the pedal all the back and press the #3 footswitch. When the display reads 'TOE DN' rock the pedal all the way forward and press the #2 footswitch. Your RP2000 is now reinitialized.• How do I scroll DOWN through the banks or programs? The bank button only goes up.
Press and HOLD the bank button to scroll down. Press and RELEASE the bank button to scroll up.• I am using my RP2000 with an external amp. It sounds noisy and not very good. What can I do do make it sound better or less noisy?
One problem with using an RP2000 and an external amp, are the AMP models and Cabinet emulation settings in the RP2000. If these are on, you may have undesirable results when listening through a guitar amp or pre-amp etc. You can turn the models off and still use the digital effects. This is best used with an effects loop of the amp in question. If you want to hear the RP2000 at it's best, you may want to listen to it through headphones or turn off the models.• How can volume discrepencies between red and green channel be alleviated?
Adjust the Amp level parameter for each channel individually.• I just purchased an RP2000. I heard that there was a new upgrade chip. Is this true? What does the update do?
The upgrade is not a crucial one. If you want to upgrade to 1.4 it will be neccessary to have you send in your RP2000 as it would require a different treadle pedal. The update is simply an E-prom however, this would cause your existing pedal to stop working. If you decide to upgrade you will need to call us for a return authorization #.

RP21
• What is the hard reset for the RP21?
Power up holding the #1 access button(not the #1 footswitch), then let go of #1 and press/release the Program button.• Is there an easy way to keep the same volume when changing between programs?
Yes. The volume pedal update feature automatically assigns volume control in all programs to the volume pedal. This allows you to maintain the same volume when changing between patches. To turn this feature on, press the UTILITY button. Use the PAGE buttons until you arrive at the "Vol Pedal Update" page. Turn the dial to turn it on. You do not need to store any changes since this is a utility setting.
RP3
• What types of effects does the RP3 have?
The effect types of the RP3 include: Compressor, Wah, 2 distortion types, EQ, Gate/Swell, Mod/Pitch (Chorus, Flange, Phaser, Tremolo, Panning, Pitch Shifting, Whammy, and Harmony), Delay, Reverb, and Cabinet Emulator.• How does the RP3 compare to the RP6 and RP7?
The RP3 is actually very similar to the RP7 except for the Tube Distortion and being physically smaller (which means there are fewer footswitches). From the sonic standpoint, you shouldn't be able to hear any differences between the RP6 and RP3.• Can I trade programmed patches with my friends that have an RP6?
Yes, they have the same programming architectures. Simply jot down the settings and transfer them to/from the RP3/RP6. You can even exchange settings with an RP7 except for the Tube Distortion parameters.
RP300
• How do I relocate a preset?
Dial up the desired preset.
Modify if desired.
Press Store twice.
Use Up/Down footswitches to go to the new location.
Press and release Store.
The preset is now relocated.• Can I have two clean sounds in the same patch with one on channel A being totally clean and the other on channel B having tremolo? Also, can I have "Clean" on channel A and "Boogie" on channel B?
You cannot have two different sets of effects on the different channels. Nor can you have two different amp models on the different channels. The channel switch is used for jumping from one amp gain setting to another within the same patch. This is usually used to change from clean to dirty or vice versa. The best way to achieve what you're trying to do is by using two or more separate patches.• What is the reset and pedal calibration for the RP300?

RP5
• I can't get the optional expression pedal to work. I'm using the recommended DOD FX17. Maybe I'm connecting it wrong. What's wrong?
Start by connecting the output of the FX17 to the pedal input on the RP5. Do not connect anything to the input on the FX17. Be sure to use the optional AC power supply for the FX17. It will not send sufficient voltage when used with a battery alone. Finally, edit your presets and assign the CC Pedal type to one of the CC numbers (1-8) printed on the RP5's grid.• I don't understand the program matrix. Can you explain it?
The RP series can be confusing at first. The first thing to grasp is the concept of what we call the program matrix. To isolate a particular effect parameter or setting, you need to line up the top row and side column to display the current value. For example, to isolate Chorus, start on the program you want to modify. Press the Edit button. Now press the parameter arrows to the right until the LED on the top row is lit on the MOD/PITCH section. Now use the same arrows to cursor down once. The light on the left should be on the second one down. If you follow this visually to the right you will notice that the cross section of these lights gives you MOD/PITCH and underneath is type. The display should have the corresponding value for the type. Now use the Value arrows to modify the type of MOD/PITCH until the display reads Chor (for Chorus). Now you can use the Parameter arrows again to cursor down once to access the level parameter. Pressing the Parameter down again will give you the amount and so on.

The USB cable must be disconnected in order to access Learn-a-Lick• Bass, Mid and Treble controls are not working.
When USB is connected, the Bass, Mid and Treble controls function as USB mix and level controls. The tone controls can still be accessed from the editing matrix or from X Edit.• Everything I record seems distorted.
Your levels may be too high. Try lowering the amp level or USB level.• How do I get my footswitches to do recording functions?
Press the two right footswitches simultaneously to toggle from preset mode to recording footswitch mode.• I get RECERR, ARMERR or DELERR in my RPx display.
Make sure ‘DigiTech RPx USB MIDI’ is selected in ProTracks Options->MIDI Devices.
Make sure that Options->Control Surface is set to use ‘DigiTech RPx USB MIDI’.
This sometimes also indicates an incompatibility between the drivers and the DigiTechRPx.dll file. See the section on driver installation.• ProTracks won’t launch.
This was probably caused by interrupting the USB connection while in a previous ProTracks session. You must reboot your system to fix this problem.• I don’t hear playback from USB 3-4.
Playback is only available on USB1-2. USB3-4 is used for additional track recording – things like dry guitar, mic, drums, etc.• Can I use ProTracks recording software with Windows 98?
In order to use ProTracks with Windows 98, power up the RPX400 while holding the Store button. Wait until the display reads NO MIDI,then release Store. The hands free recording footswitches on the RPX will not function in this mode, so all functions will need to be done manually.• How do I control drum level when I’m playing back a midi drum track through the RPx?
The drum level can only be adjusted after turning the Drums on. The middle knob controls the level.• I can not hear playback from the rpx400 tutorials.
For play back of the MIDI instruments in the tutorial, go to OPTIONS-AUDIO- ADVANCED select MME to play back the MIDI instruments.• My drums didn’t record.
Drums can only be recorded on a separate track, not as part of a mix. To record drums, go to the setup level of the matrix and select ‘Drums’ in USB1-2 or USB3-4.• When naming files the application seems to rename the extension(type). Why is this?
Make sure to add ".wav" to the file name.• How do I relocate a preset?

StudioQuad/V2
• How do I use one program for input one, and another program for input two?
The Studio Quad series products cannot use more than one program at a time. In order to have separate effects on each of the different input/outputs, you must create one program that has a multiple effect configuration, and assign the effects for the inputs/outputs that you want.• How can I get several effects on each of the 4 inputs/outputs?
The Studio Quad (and V2) can only run 4 effects at any given time. If you are using all four inputs to run discreet effects, you will only be able to have one effect on each input. If you are running 2 inputs, you can have 2 effects on each input, or three on one, and one on the other. The maximum number of effects in any program IS limited to 4.• How do I create a program with all four input/outputs running different effects?
You must first start with a program that has the configuration that you need for the effects capability, and routing. If you are wanting each input to have a different effect, then you want to start with a program using configuration #1. If you are using the Quad V2, you will find all possible configurations between factory programs 101 through 112. If you are using the regular Quad, you will have to scroll through the presets until you find a program using the configuration you need.
Once you have selected a program with the desired configuration, follow these steps to load the desired effect in to your program.
1. Press the "FX edit" button once. You will notice that the first "box" in the block diagram (lower right hand corner of the LCD) will start to flash. This is to indicate that you are about to edit that effect module.
2. Press the # 2 button to gain access to the type of effect that you want to load.
3. Roll the data wheel until you find the type of effect that you require for the first effect module.
4. You can now use the "next" and "previous" page buttons to find all of the parameters relating to the effect module you have selected. The 1-4 buttons will move the cursor back and forth from the parameters in the LCD.
5. Once you have the effect set up the way you want it, you can then press the "FX edit" button again which will start the second box of the block diagram flashing. This is indicating that you are about to edit the second module. Follow steps 2 though 4 to edit the second effect.
Each time you press the FX edit button, it will take you to the next effect in the block diagram, and you can follow steps 2 through 4 to set up the third and fourth effect.
Once you have all four effects set up the way you want them, press the store button 3 times to save these changes.• How do I reset the Studio Quad to factory settings?
To reset the Studio Quad (or V2), turn the power off, press and hold the #1 button while turning the power back on. After about 2 seconds, release the #1 button, and press the "program" button once. This will reset the entire unit.• Someone told me there is an upgrade for my Studio Quad. What new features are included in the V2 upgrade/model?
Quad V2 Upgrade
Includes:
The V2 upgrade gives you 10 new effect modules (types of effects) Rotary Speaker Simulator, Smooth Pitch Shifter, Harmony, Analog Delay, Stereo Analog Delay, Chorus/Delay, Flange/Delay, Pre Delay, Room Echo, and Compressor. There is also New and Improved I/O routing and 80 New Programs.• Can I upgrade a Studio Quad or Quad V2 to the Quad4 version?
The Quad4 features hardware improvements (new converters and larger delay RAM) which make the Quad4 software incompatible with the original Quad models.

VocalistVR/Access
• I don't understand the different modes. Please explain.
There are many ways to incorporate your VR into your setup. Scalic mode is for determining specific key signatures and choosing between 4 major or 4 different minor set scales for the harmonies to be based on. This way it is almost automatic, yet appropriate for that key and scale. This is most effective when singing melodic lines and desiring the harmonies to follow more directly to the melody. Notes mode is useful for having the VR choose exactly the harmonies you tell it to in real time by sending the appropriate MIDI note information. For example, when you play a MIDI note, the harmony will be pitched to that exact note. Chordal mode is useful for padded background vocal harmonies, such as ones used in the chorus section of a song, or when thick backup style harmonies are needed to only be set to specific intervals, or chords, in that key signature. These chords can be a preset or determined by MIDI note information sent to the Vocalist.
Whammy4
• What is the Whammy 4? What does it do? What is the MIDI port used for on the Whammy 4?
The new Whammy is a modern version of the original red WH-1 Whammy introduced by DigiTech 9 years ago. The basic form has been maintained with only a few cosmetic changes to bring it up to date with the latest DigiTech look. But the performance and sound is reminiscent to that of the original Whammy every guitarist covets.
All the favorite Whammy settings of old are available again at the touch of a knob. LEDs indicate the current whammy setting and a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner style momentary foot switch enables and disables the effect.
A new addition to this Whammy is the MIDI In jack, allowing remote control of the Whammy effect via any MIDI controlling device. Both Whammy type and control are accomplished via MIDI program changes and CC messages respectively. Also new is the Dive Bomb Whammy type, giving the effect of a Floyd Rose whammy bar pushed all the way to the body of the guitar. The Wet Added and Dry outputs are standard outputs and the unit is powered by a PS750 power supply.
FEATURES:
• Original Whammy Performance
• Original Whammy Types + new Dive Bomb
• Rugged New Industrial Design
• LED Indicators Display Whammy Type
• MIDI In for Remote Control and Type Selection
• Wet/Dry Outputs
• PS750 Power Supply Included• What is the reset and pedal calibration for the Whammy 4?
Disconnect power.
Press and hold the silver footswitch.
Connect power.
Wait until the light blinks several times.
Let go of footswitch.
Move the pedal all the way through it's full range of motion.
Press and release the silver footswitch again.• Whammy IV Expression pedal calibration
Start with the expression pedal in the Toe down position (pedal forward).
1. Disconnect the power from the Whammy Pedal.
2. Press and hold the Effect footswitch while reconnecting the Power.
3. One of the Preset LED’s will blink indicating you are in setup mode.
4. Release the Effect footswitch.
Note: Release the Effect footswitch as soon as you see one of the Preset LED’s begin blinking, the LED should continue blinking after you release the Effect footswitch, if the LED is lit solid then the Effect footswitch was held to long. Repeat the procedure from step 1.
5. Using your hands Rock the expression pedal all the way back to the Heel down position (pedal back) slowly.
6. Using your hands Rock the expression pedal all the way forward to the Toe down position (pedal forward) slowly.
7. Press and release the Effect footswitch to complete the procedure.
Note: Do not put any pressure on the Bump-ons located under the Whammy IV Expression pedal while rocking the pedal back and forth, if pressure is put on the Bump-ons during step 5 and 6 of this procedure the Whammy IV will not return to proper pitch.
Windows Vista
• My Windows Vista computer blue screens when I attempt to launch X-Edit.
If Windows XP drivers are installed onto a Windows Vista computer the Vista computer may blue screen when attempting to launch X-Edit. The Windows XP drivers must be uninstalled:
To uninstall: Digitech drivers.

X-Series
• When using stereo output mode on the DF-7, what kind of cables do I need?
Use mono instrument cables. Do not use TRS balanced stereo cables as this causes the pedal to act as though no cable is in the jack. If the pedal is set to stereo mode and only one cable is used in the output jacks, the outputs behave as labeled, Out 1 (AMP) and Out 2 (MIXER).• My X-Series pedal goes through batteries quickly. Is this normal?
The X-Series pedals consume batteries at a tremendous rate. For longest battery life, we suggest fresh, high quality ALKALINE batteries, or the the PS200R power supply available from our Outlet Store at www.digitech.com.• What frequencies does the Bass Driver Overdrive / Distortion pedal control? The tone knob in particular. What frequency does it effect? Also, Where is the distortion centered at frequency wise?
The tone knob effects several frequencies. It is not a simple high shelf or parametric filter with a fixed frequency. It is composed of three filters with individual frequency centers that change whether the tone knob it set to cut or boost. When set to boost the tone knob effects frequencies from 1450 to 5000 and beyond, and when set to cut it effects 725 to 4000 and beyond. This is what we call "spectral contouring eq." The filters are adjusted to give an optimal sound for boost and cut.
The distortion isn't really "centered" around a particular frequency. The amount of distortion is frequency dependent, but it changes with the setting of the morph knob. Generally the lows aren't distorted as much, but there isn't a particular frequency for how low the distortion goes. It mainly depends on the gain setting, and the setting of the morph knob.
Here is a very general overview of frequencies affected for min, mid and max setting of the morph knob:
Before Distortion
min ~100Hz and below attenuated
mid ~800Hz and below attenuated, ~1.5k and above attenuated
max ~200 Hz attenuated, ~1.5k and above attenuated
After Distortion
min ~1k and above attenuated
mid ~1.5k and above attenuated
max ~40 to ~120 boosted, ~400 to ~800 Hz attenuated
These are not exact numbers, as the frequency response is fairly complicated. However, this should give you a rough idea of frequencies effected.
XP100
• How do I reset the XP100?
To reinitialize the XP100, you disconnect the power, press and hold the "bypass" switch while reconnecting the power. After about 2 seconds, release the bypass button, and then press it one more time. The display will then ask you to recalibrate the pedal, so just follow the recalibration procedure listed in the previous question.• The display on my XP100 is showing "Pd" and then "CA". And it will not work. What can I do to fix it?
The expression pedal on the XP series effect pedals can sometimes lose their calibration settings. This is usually caused by stepping on the expression pedal harder than normal. This will move the expression pedal farther than it was originally calibrated at. When this happens, the pedal needs to be recalibrated. The display will show "Pb" which is asking you to place the pedal back (toe up). After placing the pedal back, press the bypass button once. The display will change and show "Pf". This is asking you to place the pedal forward (toe down). Again, after rocking the pedal forward, press the bypass button once. Finally the display will show "SA" indicating that it has saved the calibration. The XP will return to a normal operating mode after this procedure has been performed.
