GCP 1-4 preset button second function

[Mike8083]

When I select preset buttons 1-4 twice, 0-. INIT shows up and my Gmaj FX are bypassed. What's going on here? Can I create a second preset for each of the 1-4? I have tried to do this with no results. Am I missing something?

Hi there,
Did you buy it 2nd hand or anything? If so you may need to reset it? It may be in a special mode for the G-Force, Flextone or Eleven Rack. You may have to check and turn them off. I’d just go through the settings and see. Get back to us with what you find.

I bought it second hand and did a reset. I also updated the firmware. I've gone through all the settings, but I can't find anything that references this. Pretty weird. I had one of these in the 90's and don't remember a second function. I'd like to know more, if that's what it is. Everything else works perfect with my GCX.

Hi there,
Did you change the chip your self? Maybe pull it out and push it back in again, might not be seated right or something. The chip might be faulty to. The only place to check is in setup and special to see if you have something turned on in there, but if you reset, highly unlikely

What firmware chip have you put in? Maybe this is a feature

I'm sorry, when I say "firmware" I meant I did the midi update to the latest version 1.13

Hi there, the firmware update is a chip replacement, you can’t update via any other way???

Here’s a link to what John from Voodoo Labs says about it

If that's the case, then I guess I did not do the update. I've had it for awhile, and usually do updates whenever possible. So, the previous owner must have done this. That may explain why I have a second function. I'd like to know more about this update.

Before I put the beta 2.0 chips in both my GC Pro’s, I had the 1.13 chips in mine. They never had that function in them. My beta 2.0 chips don’t have it either. The only difference between the 1.13 and 2.0 is the IA mode. All buttons can be instant access.

John from Voodoo Labs, says there isn’t much different from 1.11 to 1.13, here is a post with his reply.

Hi!
I run 2 GCP´s (Master/Slave) with ver. 1.13. They both have that function.
To turn it off go: SETUP - UTILITY - GBL PGM and set GBL PGM to off.

If you want to use it, you can program that preset as any other. Handy if you want a preset that is available whatever preset page you are on.

Hi there,
Ahh ok, I’ve never played with that. Think I need to now
