Effects

When you play your guitar in this condition, the
selected effect parameter will be modified
cyclically by the internally generated control
waveform.

Using the G7.1ut as audio
interface for a computer

By connecting the USB port of the G7.1ut to a
USB port on a computer, the G7.1ut can be used
as an audio interface with integrated AD/DA
converter and effects. The operating environment
conditions for this type of use are as follows.

■

Compatible operating system
• Windows XP
• Mac OS X (10.2 and later)

■

Quantization
16-bit

■

Sampling frequencies

32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz

HINT

With each of the operating systems listed above,
the G7.1ut will function as an audio interface
simply by connecting the USB cable. There is no
need to install any special driver software.

NOTE

The USB port of the G7.1ut only serves for sending
and receiving audio data. For MIDI messages, use
the MIDI IN/OUT connectors.

To use the G7.1ut as an audio interface for the
computer, connect the USB port of the G7.1ut to a
USB port on the computer. The G7.1ut will be
recognized as an audio interface.

In this condition, the sound of a guitar connected
to the INPUT jack of the G7.1ut can be processed
with the effects of the G7.1ut and then be
recorded on the audio tracks of a DAW (Digital
Audio Workstation) software application on the
computer (see Figure 1 below).
When performing playback with the DAW
application, the playback sound from the audio

tracks is mixed with the guitar sound processed
by the effects of the G7.1ut and appears at the
OUTPUT jack of the G7.1ut (see Figure 2 on the
previous page).
If required, the guitar signal after effect processing
can be muted during playback (see Figure 3 on the
previous page). For details, see next section.

For details on recording and playback, refer to the
documentation of the DAW application.

NOTE

• If the DAW application has an echo back

function (input signal during recording is
supplied directly to an output), this must be
disabled when using the G7.1ut with the direct
output enabled. If recording is carried out with
the echo back function on, the output signal
may sound as if processed by a flanger effect,
or the direct output signal may sound delayed.

• Use a high-quality USB cable and keep the

connection as short as possible.

Muting the direct output
when using a USB
connection

When the G7.1ut is connected to a computer and
used as an audio interface, the signal appearing at
the OUTPUT jack after effect processing may be
muted if you want to monitor the sound from the
DAW software only. To do this, proceed as
follows.
