Master functions
8. Computer
Here you can set the operating mode for the computer serial port on the instrument’s back panel. This port
allows two-way communication between the instrument and a PC without the need for a MIDI interface. A
cable to connect the instrument to your IBM or Macintosh serial port can be obtained from your Generalmusic
dealer.
There are three modes which can be selected from this screen. Select the one which is most compatible with
your type of computer.
1. Apple Macintosh - Any Macintosh computer
2. PC Fast - 80486, Pentium or faster processor
3. PC Slow - 80386 or earlier model
9. Lock MIDI
This feature allows you to “lock” the MIDI settings of the instrument. Normally, the MIDI channels, MIDI
transpose settings and MIDI filters are memorized for each performance. This means that, as you recall different
performances, the instrument’s MIDI settings will change according to the way they were set when that
performance was stored.
This function allows you to disable these changes, permitting you to select any performance without changing
the current MIDI settings. After you have switched this function on, you may adjust the MIDI settings as you
wish. Any subsequent changes that you make to the MIDI settings will remain in effect until you change them
again or until you turn off the “Lock MIDI” function.
10. Lock Pedals
This feature allows you to “lock” the functions of the three foot pedals. Normally, these pedal functions are
memorized for each performance. This means that, as you recall different performances, the pedal functions
will change according to the way they were set when that performance was stored.
This function allows you to disable these changes, permitting you to select any performance without changing
the pedal settings. After you have switched this function on, you may adjust the pedal settings as you wish. Any
subsequent changes that you make to the pedal settings will remain in effect until you change them again or
until you turn off the “Lock Pedals” function.
11. (PRO 2 Model Only) Lock EQ
Normally, when you store a performance in the PRO 2, the “shape” of the Graphic EQ sliders is memorized
and saved into that performance. When you recall that performance, it also recalls the EQ shape, (even though
the sliders themselves may be in a different position.)
This function allows you to “lock” the current EQ shape so that you may use the EQ sliders as a “Global
control”. When “Lock EQ” is turned on, selecting different performances will not affect the EQ settings. This
allows you to adjust the EQ effects in real time as needed.
12. Display Contrast
Use this function to improve the visibility of the display screen under different lighting conditions. A higher
value will give a stronger contrast.
