New to Board and MIDI

Post by DirtyNoise »

Hello! Well i made the big switch to MIDI in the past couple weeks. Changed my entire rig up. My new set up is now:
Monster 2500
Hunsh Pro C
VS-R Tuner
G-Major II
Engl e530
VHT 2/50/2
Ground Control Pro
KH - Wah


AND I'm clueless on how to set up my GCP and GM2! Plus switch my preamp channels.

Is there a tutorial on here somewhere? The manual's are not very clear as I'm new to alot of the lingo I suppose. I have a show in 2 weeks and really need to get a handdle on this! ha!

Here is a thread from another forum user that posted a video on getting started with a Ground Control pro and G-Major 2.

I've watched that a few times but I still don't understand. It seem some steps have been skipped on GM2 side? I'm going to give a try yet again tonight and see where I can get.
It would be nice to see somthing from a complete NOOB perspectice as this comb i pretty popular HA!!
Like here's where you begin when you first plug in you GM2 and GPC.

Well when you first pull the Ground Control Pro and the G-Major 2 out of their boxes, they should already somewhat work together where Ground Control Pro preset buttons will recall G-Major 2 patches using MIDI channel 1. In the video, the G-Major 2 has first been assigned to listen to MIDI channel 2 and you see the Ground Control Pro being assigned to send Program Changes on MIDI Channel 2. I hope that helps. The channel number you use will not really matter as long as the number matches on both units.
