GCX Compatibility Mode
Function Switch 5 turns on GCX compatibility mode for the Audio Loops. This makes the Audio Loops respond to MIDI
commands like the GCX switcher, manufactured by Voodoo Lab. In GCX compatibility mode, the Audio Loops respond
only to Continuous Controller messages on MIDI channel 16, regardless of the MIDI channel setting. The GCX number is
set by Function Switches 1 and 2 (see above).
Function Switch 6 turns on GCX compatibility mode for the Function Switches. The GCX number is set by Function
Switches 3 and 4 (see above).
CC Disable
Function Switch 7 turns on CC Disable mode. This mode prevents the RG-16 from responding to Continuous Controller
messages, and is primarily used when debugging a rig. In most circumstances, it’s best to keep this option off.
Bank Select Enable
Function Switch 8 controls whether or not the RG-16 will allow MIDI bank selection. When Function Switch 8 is off, the
RG-16 will ignore MIDI bank select messages. When Function Switch 8 is on, the RG-16 will respond to bank select
messages as described on page 9.
Saving MIDI Channel and Options
Once you’ve set the MIDI channel and options, press the Write button. The RG-16 is now in normal operational mode.
Invert Mode
Some amplifiers may have inverted polarity on some functions. This can cause the RG-16 to display a function as off
when the function is actually on, and as on when the function is actually off. To correct this, you must first switch the
RG-16 to Invert Mode.
Hold down the Audio Loop 2 button while powering up the RG-16. Keep holding the button until the LEDs flash. You
are now in Invert Mode.
While in Invert Mode, use the front panel buttons to light the LED of any function that is inverted. Make certain no other
LED is lit.
Once you’ve selected the inverted function’s associated button(s), press the Write button. The RG-16 is now in normal
operational mode, and the inverted functions should operate correctly.
Momentary Mode
Some devices require momentary-type switching, rather than the more common latching-type switches. (A momentary
switch changes OFF/ON state by closing its contacts for a short time and then re-opening them. In Momentary Mode,
the RG-16 switches will close for 100 milliseconds before opening again.) Momentary mode is typically only used for
Function Switches or Audio Loops that are being used as function switches.
