ZOOM G1/G1X This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G1/G1X documentation.

IN-+(COMP/EFX }-{DRIVE }-{EQ }-(ZNR }-(AMP)-(MODULATION)-(DELAY}-(REVERE)-> OUT Effect module

As shown in the illustration above, the G1/G1X can be thought of as a combination of several single effects. Each such effect is referred to as an effect module. In addition to modules such as DRIVE and MODULATION, the G1/GIX also provides a module for noise reduction and amp simulation (ZNR/AMP). Parameters such as effect intensity can be adjusted for each module individually, and modules can be switched on and off.

Some effect modules have several different effects which are referred to as effect types. For example, the MODULATION module comprises chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, and other effect types. Only one of these can be selected at a time.

Al effect modules have various parameters that can be adjusted. These are called effect parameters When thinking of an effect module as a compact effect, the parameters change the tone and effect intensity similar to the knobs on the device.

In the G1/GIX, effect module combinations are Stored and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch comprises information about the on/off

Status of each effect module, about the effect type used in each module, and about effect parameter settings. The internal memory of the G1/GIX can store up 10 80 patches.

A group of ten patches is called a bank. The memory of the GI/GIX comprises a total of eight banks, labelled with letters A to d and numbers 0 to 3. Banks À — d are the user area which allows read/ write. 0 — 3 form the preset area of read-only patche:

The patches within each bank are numbered 0 through 9. To specify a patch of the G1/G1X, you use the format "Al" (patch number 1 from bank A), 06" (patch number 6 from bank 0), etc.

The internal status of the GI/GIX à the operation mode. In "play mode" you can select patches and use them for playing your instrument. In "edit mode" you can modify the effects, and there is also a ‘rhythm mode" in which you can make settings for the rhythm function. The module selector serves for switching between these three modes.

Changing the Way Patches Are Called Up

In normal operation, changing a patch in play mode of the G1/G1X will be active immediately. This means that the sound changes straight away when you make the selection

In some cases, such as when the new patch is at a memory location not adjacent to the current one, this method may not be ideal, because the sound will change in various ways as you switch through the

In such a case, you may want to change the patch selection method to "pre-select". In this mode,

you first select the patch to use next, and then perform an additional step to activate the patch.

To change G1/G1X operation to pre-select, perform the following steps.

1. Turn power to the G1/G1X on while

holding down the [A] foot switch. The indication "PrE-SEIEct" scrolls on the display during startup.

2. In play mode, use the [W]/[A] foot switches to specify the patch to use next.

You can use the [BANK UP*TAP] key or a foot

switch (FS01) connected to the [CONTROL IN]

jack to switch only the bank (The GX does not support use of a foot switch.)

The new bank or patch number specified by the above step flashes on the display. The sound does not change yet.

3. When you have specified the patch to use, press both [V]/[A] foot switches together.

Using a Foot Switch or Pedal

The G1 is equipped with a [CONTROL IN] jack that allows connection of an optional foot switch or expression pedal This section explains how to use this capability.

oo Using the foot switch (FS01) (G1 only)

Simply connect the optional foot switch (FSO1) to the [CONTROL IN] jack of the G1 and turn the unit on. This allows you to switch banks and specify the tempo for rhythm patterns with the foot switch.

Depending on the currently selected mode, the foot switch operates as follows.

oo Using the expression pedal

CR With the GI, an expression pedal (FPO1/FPO2) can be connected to the [CONTROL IN] jack and used as a volume pedal or for adjusting a certain parameter of an effect type in real time. With the GIX, the built-in expression pedal can be used in the same way. The function of the expression pedal can be selected and stored individually for each patch

1. To use an expression pedal with the G1, plug the FPO1 or FPO2 into the [CONTROL IN] jack and turn on the power.

. Select the patch in which to use the expression pedal.

3. Set the Module selector to a position other than "PLAY" or "RHYTHM". The G1/GIX goes into edit mode.

4. While holding down the [RHYTHM] key, use the [VALUE] knob to select the module to control with the expression pedal. Available settings are shown below.

For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the

MODULATION module comprises Choru:

Flanger, and other effect types. The REVERB module

comprises Hall, Room, and other effect types from which you can choose one.

Explanation of symbols

The Module selector symbol shows the position of the knob at which this module/parameter is called up.

When this item is selected, the parameter in the module can then be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal

@Tap A [TAP] icon in the listing [TAP| indicates a parameter that can be set with the [BANK UP«TAP] key.

When the respective module/effect type is selected in edit mode and the [BANK UP+TAP] key is pressed repeatedly, the parameter (such as modulation rate or delay time) will be set according to the interval in which the key is pressed.
