Hands-Free Recording with the GNXFC
The GNX4 is equipped with a footswitch jack that allows you to connect an optional GNXFC for controlling
the GNX4’s recorder. This 3-button footswitch features functions for STOP/UNDO, RECORD,and
PLAY. The GNXFC is also an ideal companion for JamMan
™
(see the Using the GNX4’s JamMan
™
Delay Looper section on page 87 for more information) users as it allows you to leave your GNX4
footswitches setup for changing presets or switching amp channels and effects on and off while the GNXFC
is used for both recording songs and creating loops.
Using the GNXFC to Record a Track
To begin recording a track using the GNXFC footswitches,follow these steps:
1.Press the RECORD footswitch. The TRACK 1 button will automatically light red, which will arm it
to record, and the recorder will begin recording on this track. The TIME display will begin counting off
the recording time.
2.Once recording is completed,press the STOP/UNDO footswitch. This stops the recording process,
and saves the track. The TIME display will show the elapsed time used and the TRACK 1 button will
be lit green indicating it is now enabled for playback. (The TRACK 2 button also lights green if
recorded in stereo.)
Using the GNXFC to Play Back a Recorded Track
After a track has been recorded, playing it back is simple.If you are at the end of the track or the song,
press the PLAY footswitch. The recorder automatically begins playing back the track/song from the very
beginning. If you want to start playback at the beginning of a track or song but are someplace other than
the end of the song,follow these steps:
1.Press the STOP/UNDO footswitch twice. This will rewind to the beginning of the current song.
2.Press the PLAY footswitch. The newly recorded track is automatically armed in PLAY status (track
button is lit green) and the track begins playing back.
Using the GNXFC to Record Multiple Tracks
After a track has been recorded, you may want to record other tracks (overdub) that will play along with
it. You will want to play the previously recorded track(s) as a monitoring source while recording new
tracks. To add a new track to previously recorded tracks do the following:
1.Press the RECORD footswitch. The next available track for recording automatically lights red,
indicating it is armed to record, and the recorder begins recording on this track from the beginning of
the song. The TIME display begins counting off the recording time. If Autostop is enabled in the
Recorder setup,the recorder will automatically stop when the longest track playing back is finished. If
Autostop is turned off,go to step 2.
2.When you are finished recording the track,press the STOP/UNDO footswitch.
