Mastermind 16GT - g-major2

[Geir Sandaker]

Hi, im having problems accessing the user banks on my G-major2. I connecting to all the preset from 1 - 100, but when Im setting my preset to over 101 it access only preset 1-100 on my g-major. 101 is a preset stored by my self.

The G-major respond to changes but denies to go above 100.....

Try to increment the bank number, so for preset 101, send bank 1, preset 0

Hi, thanks for your replay. But this dident help. Changing the bank dosent make any different.

Ok, I just had a look at the G-Major manual, and it looks like it doesn't have the ability to respond to MIDI bank messages. Seems like a major omission on their part. If you check out manual page 18, it shows how to use MIDI mapping to access presets in different banks. You're limited to accessing only 128 presets via MIDI, but using MIDI mapping, they can be taken from any bank in the G-Major.

I've been accessing the higher presets on the G-Major 2. You have to set the G-Major 2's program bank to "External" in the MIDI menu. (See Page 18). Now, I'll qualify this by saying that I only user user presets and I don't have the rig handy to verify that it can access both.

Glad to hear it. The GM2 is a great piece of kit, particularly as you learn some of it's quirks.
