Expression Calibration tailoring:
The Expression pedal settings now allow you to fully calibrate your expression to get the best sweep. Now, on the expression pedal settings, you can calibrate the heel and the toe settings of your chosen expression. To do so:
Go Deep Edit > Expression
Click down to EXP 1 (or EXP 2 if you're using EXP 2!) cal heel > Click along > Now press your expression pedal so the heel is all the way back. > Press FootSwitch 4. G3 will display on the screen a percentage from 1 to 100% of how far the expression pedal travels.
Click FootSwitch 3 to go back, and click down to EXP 1 Cal Toe > Click along > Now press your expression pedal so the toe is all the way down. > Press FootSwitch 4. G3 will display on the screen a percentage from 1 to 100% of how far the expression pedal travels.
G3 will have now have calibrated the top and the bottom points of your expression pedal.
As well as this, if you click down lower to EXP 1 (or EXP 2 if you're using EXP 2!) log curve - you can now select tailored curves for your expression sweep. Click through these and try them out to work out what your preferred sweep is for your expression pedal.
Midi Clock Tap Tempo
To use midi clock tap tempo - you start the clock as you'd expect. To set the preset to tap - go settings > tap tempo > Click down to 'Tap Preset' - Select footswitch. That footswitch will now tap the tempo for midi clock.
We recommend you do a full backup to the G3 app before you install this update. For details on how to do this please visit the app/backup section in the G3 manual as well as an in depth video which can be found at our YouTube channel
1. Check the current version of software in your unit by going to the MENU/GLOBAL/VERSION. If the number matches the number above, you have the latest software. If the version you have has a lower number, you can update your software. PLEASE NOTE, the higher the number, the newer the software
2. Download the latest software (links above) Backup your G3. You don't have to do this but I find its good practice to have a backup before an update. Now we are ready to do the update
3. On G3/Atom go to MENU/GLOBAL/BLUETOOTH and select UPDATE. This will start the Bluetooth on G3/Atom
4. Open the G3 app or the WEB EDITOR, go to UPDATE then press CONNECT. Select your G3/Atom in the list
5. Select UPDATE on the app
6. On the editor it will ask you to selective file. Select the latest update file from the list
7. Once selected you will see the packets being sent to G3/Atom
8. Take note of how many packets are being sent
9. After the update has finished transferring, check the CHECKSUM. As long as you have the correct checksum, follow the onscreen prompts to install your software If you've done a backup then you can do a factory reset and reinstall your back up. This isn't 100% necessary but if you do find you have any issues with a particular press after the software update, simply clear that preset and re-program it.
IMPORTANT! If at any time during the update process you lose connection or are interrupted in any way, you’ll need to cycle power on G3/Atom before trying the update again
