Editing SYSTEM Settings

NOTE: The following sections describe "global" parameters affecting all GT-100 patches. Also very important to know is that any settings made in the SYSTEM configuration will take precedence over conflicting patch level MASTER, PDL/GK, or Assigns settings.

CAUTION: When you make a change to SYSTEM parameters in the editor or in the GT-100, it is automatically written to the GT-100.

There are four sub modules within the main SYSTEM editor panel, each has its own editor panel and unique functionality, as follows :

System and MIDI Settings
System Pedal and GK Settings
Guitar Mode GK Setup
Bass Mode GK Setup

You can access the above SYSTEM Settings by clicking the SYSTEM button at the top of the editor's main panel:

System, Master and PDL/GK Buttons

Once the System/Global panel opens, simply click on the Select field to open the settings sub-panel that you need.

System and MIDI Settings

CAUTION: When you make a change to SYSTEM parameters in the editor or in the GT-100, it is automatically written to the GT-100.

The System/Global System and MIDI Settings panel allows you to configure the following parameters:

Patch, where you can select the current patch.
Output modes, where you can select main output mode (amplifier type) and the guitar output mode. Each has multiple options.
MODE on the next startup, where you can select either guitar or bass mode, which takes effect on the next startup - requires a power cycle.
Tuner section lets you set the tuner's reference frequency and the tuner mute to ON or OFF.
General MIDI is where you set the MIDI channels used by the GT-100 to connect to other MIDI devices, specify MIDI MAP as fixed or programmable, receive and/or send MIDI program change (PC) data, and set the ASSIGN HOLD ON or OFF.
Guitar > MIDI Output is where can switch MIDI output from the GT-100 ON/OFF, set its MIDI output mode, set the expression pedal bend range, set the chromatic tracking ON/OFF, set the string channels (which guitar string to which MIDI channel), and set MIDI data thin ON/OFF to send pitch bend and other non-note MIDI data, or not.

System Pedal and GK Settings

CAUTION: When you make a change to SYSTEM parameters in the editor or in the GT-100, it is automatically written to the GT-100.

The System Pedal and GK Settings panel is where you configure the global functions of the GT-100's CTL (control) and EXP (expression) pedals, and the GK knob and switches. Any settings in this panel will override the assigns to the same pedals, knobs and switches made in individual patches. To use the GK knob for volume on all of your patches, enable it here by setting it to "Patch Volume" as shown in the image above. However, if you want to use the same knob instead to control different parameters on each patch, say delay time on one patch, cutoff frequency on a synth for another patch, then set the GK Volume Function to "Patch Setting" here then and set up an Assign instead, as you want it for each patch. "Patch Setting" here means that you will specify the function for that control in the individual patches. Anything else means that the controls operate globally, on ALL patches. "Tone Volume" means the volume of the PCM Synths tones whereas "Patch Volume" includes the volume of the COSM guitar or bass.

Guitar Mode GK Setup

CAUTION: When you make a change to SYSTEM parameters in the editor or in the GT-100, it is automatically written to the GT-100.

The Guitar Mode GK Setup panel is where you can configure up to ten (10) unique GK settings for up to ten different guitar and/or bass controllers, each with a unique name and parameters. Each GK SET can specify the HEX PU (pickup) TYPE, the guitar's scale length, pickup phase, pickup direction, and the GK's S1/S2 Switch position. You can also set the distance from the bridge to the GK pickup, and the string sensitivity, which is important to adjust to your individual playing style. If you play hard, you may want to back these knobs off. If you play gently, you might want them turned up a bit. You will also use these to balance the levels of each string to one another. The Play Feel, Velocity, and Nuance controls offer additional controls to optimize your controller's performance with the GT-100 with consideration for your style of play and your guitar or bass controllers. If you switch controllers, you can go to this panel to select the settings for that controller.

Bass Mode GK Setup

The Bass Mode GK Setup panel is where you can configure up to ten (10) unique GK settings for up to ten different guitar and/or bass controllers, each with a unique name and parameters. Each GK SET can specify the HEX PU (pickup) TYPE, the guitar's scale length, pickup position for bass (4, 5, or 6 strings, etc), pickup phase, pickup direction, and the GK's S1/S2 Switch position. You can also set the distance from the bridge to the GK pickup, and the string sensitivity, which is important to adjust to your individual playing style. If you play hard, you may want to back these knobs off. If you play gently, you might want them turned up a bit. You will also use these to balance the levels of each string to one another. The Play Feel, Velocity, and Nuance controls offer additional controls to optimize your controller's performance with the GT-100 with consideration for your style of play and your guitar or bass controllers. If you switch controllers, you can go to this panel to select the settings for that controller.
