Input Meters
Peak meter showing Input level.
The Meter range is: 0, -3, -6, -12, -18, -24, -40dB.
To set correct Input level:
Select the “loudest” sounds containing the most
dynamic content on the equipment you are
feeding the G•Major with, e.g. your preamp.
This will probably be a clean sound. Adjust the
Input level at the G•Major so the -3dB LED
flashes frequently and the -0dB LED flashes
only at absolutely highest levels.
Input Overload LEDs
The Overload LEDs indicates one of two
situations:
The Input level is too hot and therefore
overloading or there is an internal DSP
overflow. The Overload LED is lit when 1
sample is @ 0dBFS.
Reduce either the Output of the device feeding
the G•Major or Input gain on the G•Major using
the Input level knob.
Input Type and Clock
Input selection is done in the Utility section
accessed by pressing the I/O key.
Analog/Digital: Indicates selected Input mode.
Lock: Indicates that digital lock is achieved with
a device connected to the Digital Input.
44.1/48kHz: Indicates the current Clock Rate.
DI LED: Indicates that external digital Clock
Input is selected.
If a digital device is connected to the digital
Input on the G•Major but no lock is achieved,
the Lock indication will blink. Check cables and
Clock Rate on the connected device and try
again.
Tuner
The G•Major holds a Tuner, which is always
active. The two arrows will both be lit when the
instrument is in tune.
If a TC Electronic G•Minor MIDI pedal (optional)
is used you can also have the Tuner displayed
in the Pedal.
The Matrix
The G•Major holds 3 different effect block
routing options.
This matrix indicates which of the three that is
used.
