•Moduleselector
Shows the position of the knob at which
this module/parameter is called up.

controlled with the expression pedal.
•Tap
Indicates a p aramet er th at can be set b y
repeatedlytappingthe[BANKUP·TAP]
key. When the module/effect type is
selected in edit mode, the parameter
(modulation rate or delay time, etc.) will be
set according to th e interval in which the
key is pressed.
Using the G1u as an Audio Interface
When the G1u is connected to a computer via
theUSBport,itcanfunction asanaudio
interface for the computer. The operating
environment conditions for this type of use are
as follows.
nCompatible operating systems
• WindowsXPSP2orlater
Windows Vista or later
• MacOSX(version 10.4.6orlater/10.5
or later
nQuantization
16-bit
nSampling frequencies
32kHz/44.1kHz/48kHz
With the operating systems listed above, the G1u
will function as an audio interface simply by
connectingtheUSBcable. Thereisno needto
install any special driver software.
However,thesupplieddedicatedASIOdriver
allows low-latency audio recording and playback.
If the G1u is connected to a computer via
a USB cable, and the AC adapter is not
connected, power will be supplied via the
USB port.
In this condition, the sound of a guitar connected
tothe[INPUT]jackoftheG1u canbeprocessed
with the effects of the G1u and then be recorded
on the audio tracks of a DAW (Digital Audio
Workstation) software application running on the
computer.
Atthesametime,the[OUTPUT]jackoftheG1u
carries the playback sound from the audio tracks
of the DAW application, mixed with the guitar
sound processed by the effects of the G1u.
For details on recording and playback steps, refer
to the documentation of the DAW application.
· Also when using the G1u as an audi o
interface, the signal after effect
processing is always availab le directly
at the [OUTPUT] jack (allowing use of
the unit as an effect).
· If the DAW appl icati on h as an e cho
back function (input signal during
recording is supplied directly to an
output), this must be disabled when
using the G1u. If recording is carried
out with this function enabled, the
output signal will sound as if processed
by a flanger effect.
· Use a high-quality USB cable and keep
the connection as short as possible. If
power is supplied to the G1u via a USB
cable that is more than 3 meters in
length, the low voltage warning
indication may appear.
