TERMINOLOGY

This section explains the terminology used in the manual. Understanding the terminology will help you understand the contents of the manual.

Preset:  A pre-programmed sound configuration, usually including settings for effects used in the effects chain and their parameters.  A preset is stored in a storage slot indicated by a bank number (01 - 50) followed by a preset letter (A-D). The 4 presets in each bank can be selected with the A, B, C or D footswitches.

Effects chain:  The sequence of effects a signal has to pass through within the GS1000 to get from the inputs to the outputs

Effect module:  The general category of effects models that can be positioned in the effects chain, such as AMP (amp modules), CAB (cabinet simulation modules), REVERB (reverb modules) and so on.

Effect type:  A specific effect within an effect category, such as "Red Compressor" in category "DYNA".

Effect slot:

 An empty position in the effects chain is shown as a this position.

. Click the symbol to load an effect in

Stage View:  Main interface mode showing information that facilitates stage performance and highlights preset numbers and names to provide for good visibility.

Edit View:  Main interface mode for sound editing, showing the selected preset, the composition of the effects chain, the status of effect modules in the chain, the preset-based volume level, the current BPM settings and input/output levels. It also shows the battery status for the GS1000 Li and provides access to other settings menus.

Stompbox control mode (CTRL Mode):  Mode for directly controlling the on/off status of up to four effect modules in the effects chain or the tap tempo for selected parameters using the four footswitches in the lower row. This mode also allows for complex configuration changes with a single step on a footswitch (SUBPATCH switching). The footswitches can each be individually programmed for their specific CTRL function. (See CTRL Mode.)

Groove Station:  Mode that combines controls for a Dum Machine and Phrase Looper functions. Drum Machine and Looper can also be synchronized in this mode. (See GROOVE STATION.)

MNRS Profiling:  You can use the Mooer Non-linear Response Sample technology to capture the sound characteristics of your favorite physical equipment using the Profiling function of the GS1000. This supports various capture modes for stompboxes (i.e. distortion / overdrive), preamps, combo amps or speaker cabinets.

Node 


Nodes are points in the effect chain where the signal can be routed into two separate chains or combined from two chains into one (depending on the signal routing structure you have configured).
There are "split nodes" which separate signals and "mix nodes" which combine signals. Depending on the usage scenario, several parameters can be adjusted for the individual nodes.

QUICK START

Start up
 Connect the inputs and outputs of the device as required according to the connection diagram above.
 Turn the MASTER volume knob down to minimize the output volume.  Connect the included power supply (the GS1000 Li can operate on battery power) and turn
the device on by pressing the Power switch. The display shows a boot-up screen for a few seconds.  After the boot sequence is completed and the screen shows the main user interface, adjust MASTER volume to the appropriate volume.

Power switch

Main user interface
The GS1000 comes with two types of main interfaces: the STAGE VIEW and the EDIT VIEW. You can use the HOME button to switch between the two views.

Stage View
This interface highlights number and name of the selected preset, making it easy for players to keep track of the currently selected sound during live performances. We have designed two different versions of the STAGE VIEW: the "Detail" mode, showing number and name of the selected preset as well as a graphic representation of the effects chain, and the "Large" mode, showing only the number and the name of the preset for better visibility on stage. You can select your preferred view under "Settings - Preference". (See Stage View display)

Edit View

Almost all control functions of the GS1000 are concentrated in the EDIT VIEW user interface screen. This is where you access effect parameters for editing, bring up a list of presets, save presets, adjust global inputs and outputs, and open the Groove Station or the Tuner, or access system settings and other features.

Preset selection
A preset is identified by its bank number (01-50), followed by a letter (A-D). The ambient light strip above the A/B/C/D footswitches indicates the currently selected preset. There are several ways to select a preset after the pedal has powered up:

1. In Stage View: click the left/right arrows on both sides of the screen. 2. In any of the main interfaces (Stage or Edit view): rotate the SELECT knob to select a preset. 3. In Edit View: Click on the preset name area in the upper left corner to expand the list and
select a preset. 4. Directly switch between the four presets in the current bank using the A/B/C/D footswitches
when the pedal is in regular operation mode (The LED strip is lit above one of the four footswitches).
Bank Switching
 Step on A+B or C+D simultaneously to open the bank selection screen. The screen shows two banks with four presets each. The blinking bottom row indicates the currently selected bank.
 Switch to the previous bank by stepping on the A+B footswitches simultaneously.  Switch to the next bank by stepping on the C+D footswitches simultaneously.  You can also rotate the SELECT knob to select a bank.  Hold A+B or C+D down for accelerated browsing through the banks.  Press one of the A/B/C/D footswitches to select a preset from the selected bank and switch
back to the main screen.
