EDIT EFFECTS

Effects  are  organized  in  colored   boxes.  This  page   is  very  similar  to  the  previous,
except   that   here   you   can   turn   on   or   off   the   effects   you   desire   and   set   their

parameters. All effects can be turned on at the same time, and remember that each
DSP has its own group of all 11 effects. The sound path is serial, from the synth

engine through all effects and straight to the output jacks.

MIDI MAP

The   MIDI   Map   page   can   be   reached   from   the   button   in   the   home   page   or   by
clicking/tapping on the MIDI CC assigned to whatever parameter. It is possible to

assign any of the 127 CC numbers to any parameter, and more than one parameter
can be assigned to the same CC, if necessary, but this means that when that specific

CC number is received, all parameters assigned to it will change accordingly. A CC is
processed only if is sent to the MIDI Channel assigned to the desired DSP. Example: if

DSP 1 is set on channel 1 and CC 7 is assigned to the EQ/Volume parameter, it is
necessary to send MIDI CC #7 on Channel 1 in order to control the volume. If this CC

is sent on another channel, it won't take any effect.

THE USB PORTS

The   GSi   Gemini   includes   a   Type-A   “host”   USB   2.0   port.   This   is   used   for
importing/exporting   the   preset   bank   or   the   single   preset   files,   for   updating   the

software in case a new release is available, and for importing extra samples when
these are available. 

Another   interesting   use   for   this   port   is   to   connect   a  “Class-compliant   USB-MIDI

device”, i.e. one of the many MIDI devices that don't need special drivers when they
are connected to a computer. The Gemini will recognize USB-MIDI devices and will

use them along with any other MIDI equipment connected to either one or both the
classic MIDI inputs located on the rear panel.  This way you can connect up to 3 MIDI

devices to the Gemini, for example two keyboards and a control surface.

Please avoid connecting unsupported devices to this port. Beware: this port can
provide up to 500 mA of current. Don't use this port to charge your mobile device.

An additional Type-B USB 2.0 port is present at the back side of the Gemini that

provides Class-compliant USB-MIDI IN/OUT connection to your computer. Use this
port to connect the Gemini to your computer software. No drivers are needed for

both Windows, OS X and Linux.
