New Software Update for TC's G-Major Guitar Processor
March 7, 2004TC Electronic has once again updated the sofware for their G-Major rackmount guitar processor. The update is available now for free download from TC's web site, and requires a PC running Windows XP or 2000 plus a MIDI interface to install.
New features in the version 1.27 release include:
In Level, Global Out Level and Preset Out Level mapping -
A Mapping Response Curve has been added to the three level parameters in the Mod Menu so you can define your own curve to the "In Level", "Global Out Level" and "Preset Out Level" parameters. This gives control over the behavior when using an Expression pedal to control one or more of these parameters.
External control of EQ and Noise Gate On/Off added -
The Noise Gate and EQ blocks can now also be switched On/Off either via a MIDI CC message sent from your MIDI board or via a momentary pedal connected to the External Control.
In-Level -
In-Level at "Bypass All" has been changed to be equal with Preset Output Level.
This way the Output level is kept according to the set Preset Output Level, also when the G Major is bypassed.
Gain Parameter added to the Compressor -
In many cases the Compressor will reduce the signal level. G Major has a built in Auto Makeup Gain to compensate for this. A regular Gain parameter is also provided.
Kill Dry Parameter -
To get full benifit of all effect blocks the G Major should be used in a serial loop. However, some amps or setups use parallel loops.
To achieve the best performance in these setups the new added Kill-Dry parameter muting the Dry signal on the Outputs, should be used.
Pitch Detection -
The Pitch detection for the Tuner is now positioned before the Input Level control.
This means that the Tuner works even if your expression pedal controlling the Input Level is turned down.
Pitch Section -
Independend level control of the two voices in the pitch section.
The Pitch Shifter in the Pitch block features two voices.
It is now possible to set individual Levels for the two voices.
Bugfixes
- Small bugs fixed in the Reverb filters.
- The digital Input now works when you set G Major to "Digital In" and "Internal Clock".
- A bug in the Switch Input has been solved. Momentary switch now also works with Preset Boost.
- Global Input Level control has been moved to after the Noise Gate.
