Pdl Group – This button selects the grouping of expression pedals. Pedal grouping allows you to switch your
expression pedal to control different parameters. You can have expression pedal 1 send the messages assigned to
pedal 2, 3 or 4 with the press of a button. The default value is None, which indicates no grouping. Other possible values
are [1 2] 3 4, [1 2 3] 4, [1 2 3 4], [1 2] [3 4]. Please refer to the Expression Pedal Grouping section for more details.
1st Prst is 0 – Determines the number of the first preset in the system, either 1 (the default) or 0. This can be used to
adjust the Mastermind GT’s numbering scheme to match your effects processor. Please note that this parameter only
changes the preset numbers, not the name, so the default names (Preset 001, Preset 002, …) will not change. You can
use the Init Prst Names option in the System Functions Menu to reset the preset names using the current preset offset.
Instant Bank – Instant Bank mode, when turned on, will automatically switch presets when you press the Bank Up or
Bank Down buttons. Instead of flashing the preset buttons, asking you to select a preset in the new bank, the GT will
switch banks and load the preset that appears on the currently selected preset button. For example, if you are on preset
3, and there are 6 presets per bank, pressing bank up will automatically switch to preset 9.
Page Preview – Page Preview changes how bank selection works. When turned off, the visible button page does not
change until you select a new preset. When Page Preview is turned on, the visible button page changes as you move up
and down through the banks. The button page associated with the first preset in a bank is the one that will be
displayed for that bank.
System Functions Menu
The System Functions Menu allows you to configure low level parameters and do system maintenance.
Load Settings – Allows you to select a settings file from the currently attached USB flash drive and load it into the
system.
Save Settings – Allows you to save the current settings to an attached USB flash drive.
Init Prst Names – Initializes all of the preset names in the system to their default names: “Preset 001”, “Preset 002”, etc.
The numbering of these names starts with the global preset offset, which can be set in the main setup menu.
Reset Pdl Groups – Changes all presets to their default pedal grouping settings.
System Info – Displays the versions of the firmware currently installed on the system as well as the electronic serial
number of the Mastermind GT.
Debug Log - Displays detailed error messages used to debug the system.
System Test - Used at the factory to verify that the Mastermind GT is working properly.
Update Button FW – Each row of buttons in the Mastermind GT has its own microprocessor. This option forces a
download of firmware to these microprocessors. This is typically done automatically when needed, but on occasion
tech support may request that you use this option.
Factory Reset – Erases the memory of the Mastermind GT and restores all settings to the factory defaults.
Edit Devices
The Edit Devices menu allows you to define which devices are connected to the Mastermind GT. The Mastermind GT
contains a database of information about popular MIDI devices and can do a lot of the setup for you once you tell it
what kind of devices are connected.
The first thing that is presented is a list of the available device slots. Each slot will either show a device name or “None”.
You can select any of these slots, which will take you to the device edit screen for that slot.
Once you have selected the device you wish to edit, you are taken to the Edit Device Menu.
