Nomenclature 1 2 3 7 4 5 6 1 Pickup This is the actual "pickup" unit which converts the physical motion of the guitar's strings into an electrical signal which can be processed by the G1D and transmitted to the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter. s CAUTION! • Because of its slender dimensions the pickup unit is quite delicate and can be damaged if sub- jected to unnecessary force, bending, or twisting. Handle the pickup carefully! 2 Multi-pin Cable Connector This is the main output from the G1D. One end of the multi-pin cable supplied with the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter is plugged in here, and the other end of the cable is plugged into the DIVIDED INPUT connector on the G50. The multi-pin cable connector delivers both the individual string output from the G1D pickup and the combined output from the guitar's output jack to the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter. It also supplies power from the G50 to the G1D, and sends the control signals produced by the G1D UP/DOWN buttons and VOL control to the G50. 3 Direct Guitar Input Jack This jack receives the combined output from the guitar's normal pickups from the guitar's output jack. The short cable supplied with the G1D is used to connect the guitar's output jack (large 1/4" phone jack end of the cable) to the G1D direct guitar input jack (small mini-jack end of the cable). 4 Power Indicator The G1D is receiving power from the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter when this indicator is lit. The indicator lights when the G1D is properly connected to the G50 via the multi-pin cable, and the G50 power is turned ON. 5 Volume Control Controls the volume of the MIDI tone generator(s) connected to the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter (the G50 translates the position of this control to MIDI master volume data which is sent to the tone generator). Use the guitar's original volume controls to adjust the volume of the direct guitar sound. 6 UP/DOWN Buttons These button can be used to select different synthesizer voices and select other functions while playing the G1D. Press either button briefly to increment or decrement the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter memory number by one (and thereby the voice number of the synthesizer or tone generator it is driving), or hold either button for continuous scrolling in the corresponding direction. 7 GUITAR/MIX/SYNTH Selector Selects the type of output to be delivered via the multi-pin cable connector to the G50 Guitar MIDI Converter, as listed below: GUITAR MIX SYNTH Only the direct guitar sound will be heard (i.e. no synthesizer sound will be produced). Both the direct guitar sound and individual-string synthesizer output will be heard. Only the individual-string synthesizer output is sent to the G50 (no direct guitar sound will be heard).
