Tc Electronic G-FORCE [26/63] I o setup

I/O SETUP

How the Modifiers are connected

The basic flow of both the internal and external controllers is explained in this chapter.

In the G-Force you have a number of external controller inputs. These can be MIDI controllers, MIDI program change, the G-

Force Ext. input 1/4” jack etc. These inputs must be connected to eight virtual handles named Ext. 1-8. The eight handles (Ext.

1-8) can be connected to a large number of algorithm parameters via the Modifier Matrix (see Matrix for further details). The

point of the eight handles is that their connections are stored in the presets of the G-Force, meaning that you can use the

same pedal for various purposes just by changing presets. These parameters status are not stored with the preset: Main vol.

Bypass, Tempo and Tuner.

The G-Force also contains several extra internal Modifiers i.e. extra LFOs, ADRs, Envelope follower etc. These internal

Modifiers are also present in the Modifier matrix, and can be connected to the same parameters as Ext. 1-8.

The default setting of a Modifier connected parameter is equal to it’s setting in the Edit parameter display.

Example:

The Reverb mix level is set up to be controlled by a pedal, and the Mix parameter in the Edit parameter

display is set to 15 %. When this preset is Recalled, the Reverb Mix will be 15%, and at first movement of the pedal,

you will be in total control.

Setting up an Expression

pedal

Example:You want to connect an

expression pedal to the input level of the

Delay block:

Connect your expression pedal to the G-

Force external control jack on the back

panel, and Recall a preset containing a

Delay.

Press the I/O Setup key and select the

Control display. Use the Parameter

wheel to scroll down to the Modifier input

section, and place the cursor on Ext. 1.

Dial the Value wheel to select Pedal.

Now you have hooked up your

expression pedal to one of the eight

handles, so let’s move on to connecting

the handle to a parameter. Press the

MOD key and use the < > Arrow keys to

select the Matrix. Use the Value wheel to

scroll horizontally, until you see Ext. 1

(your pedal) in the top line. Now use the

Parameter wheel to scroll vertically until

you see the Delay Inlevel. Press Enter to

connect Ext. 1 to Delay In Level.

NOTE: If the parameter does not respond correctly, try to

calibrate your pedal (see Utility, Pedal Calibration).
