PRESET HANDLING

store the preset at any of the 100 User

locations. Select the location to store the

preset to by using the ADJUST wheel.

If the preset you are about to store is a

Factory preset, G-Major 2 will suggest the

can select any of the 100 User preset

locations using the ADJUST wheel. Select

the location to store the preset to and press

ENTER once.

• To change the preset name:

Use the UP/DOWN keys to move the cursor

in the display. Use the ADJUST wheel to

select the character at the current cursor

position.

• Once you have renamed the preset, press

ENTER twice to store the preset with the

new name.

Backing up presets via MIDI

For backup purposes, the User bank can be

dumped via MIDI to either a sequencer or to

another G-Major 2. This is how to do it:

• Connect the MIDI OUT jack of your

G-Major 2 to the MIDI IN jack of either

another G-Major 2 or a sequencer (this may

also be the MIDI interface of a digital audio

workstation).

• Press the MIDI key and select the “Bulk

Dump” function using the UP/DOWN keys.

• When you have connected your G-Major 2 to

another G-Major 2, simply press ENTER.

The entire User bank will be copied to the

second G-Major 2.

• When you have connected your G-Major 2 to

a sequencer, let the sequencer record in

OMNI mode (all channels) and press ENTER

on G-Major 2.

G-Major 2 is always ready to receive a MIDI

bulk dump.

Simply connect the MIDI OUT jack of the device

you are dumping from to the MIDI IN jack of

your G-Major 2. If you want to use a User bank

that you have previously dumped to a

sequencer as described above, simply play

back the sequence containing the bulk dump. If

dumping from another G-Major 2 – see above!
