Does Anyone Know how a GC Pro works?

Post by markedman »

I've read the "manual" just like you, and just like you, I said to myself, WTF? Correct? Yes I am. The proof I have is right here in front of us. Thousands and thousands of views and no responses because there is no answer.

Each and everyone of us finds out how to use Voodoo Lab stuff by trial and error because there is no manual or even a video to learn from. Oh sure VL does have some sort of video, the one where the guy says, "Hold on a second kids while I check the manual." Even after that, the guy has no idea how to work the GCP, incredible. There is probably one geek, sitting in an office somewhere at VL that designed this thing and only he knows a little bit about it but not enough to explain it to the rest of us.

My idea for a manual would look like a flow chart so we could start at the beginning and understand the logic of the design. Imagine that, a simple flow chart like a hand holding guide pointing us to the proper objective. You know, do this next if you want this, don't do this kind of direction. I would also have glossary of terms so I could figure out what is meant by the random words on the unit, ie; special.

Is it really that hard? Mine is coming Friday.

Just go into setup, then go through each option 2-8, then setup patches and IA, right? I do agree there are better videos out there from random YouTubers from 7-10 years ago...

For what it does for me is fine, but if I designed it, it would be way more intuitive to operate. A flow chart would be nice.

If you understand MIDI and the difference between CC and PC messages the GCP is pretty simple to use. What are you trying to do? perhaps I can help.
