FenderŽ G-DEC⢠MIDI Operations
Fenderâs Guitar Digital Entertainment Center (G-DEC) can communicate with computers or other G-DECs
via a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) connection. This document contains âhow toâ
information for the following topics:
1. Playing external MIDI files, PC and Apple Mac
2. Saving custom presets
3. Loading custom presets
4. Transferring G-DEC software updates from your computer to the G-DEC
5. Copying G-DEC internal MIDI loops to a PC (Personal Computer)
6. For programmers â Fender MIDI dump file format
Most of this document is designed to help those with little or no MIDI experience. The last section is for
experienced program developers who would like to write custom applications for G-DEC.
An experienced MIDI/computer music composer will find most of this document familiar, even boring. A
novice might find the document confusing. If you consider yourself a MIDI novice, then please take a deep
breath and then dive in. The results are worth the effort.
PC
System types
Examples are shown below for a few specific system types. The following document has information for
both PC and MAC users. The PC examples assume Windows XP operating software. If you are using a
different OS, donât worry; most OSâs offer similar functionality. If you are using a different sound card or
MIDI to USB adapter, you will need to adjust to your specific needs. The steps are roughly the same for
most systems.
MAC
System types
Every Macintosh has the ability to play MIDI files, but you will need a third party interface device and
additional software. This procedure assumes your Macintosh is running Mac OS X, 10.2 or later.
Mac OS 9.2.2 Considerations
If you are using Mac OS 9.2.2, you must have Opcode OMS 2.3.8 installed before using an external MIDI
device. This software package will most likely be freely available from the MIDI to USB converter device
manufacturer if Mac OS 9 is supported by your MIDI device. Follow instructions provided within the OMS
software setup procedure and device installation procedures in the device ownerâs manual. If you are using
any version of Mac OS X, then this step is not required.
The applications shown here in this tutorial may not be available for Mac OS 9, but the procedure should
be very similar. The biggest exception is that in Mac Os 9.2.2, the OMS software controls the MIDI ports
system wide for all applications. So, you will have to set up external devices like the UNO in OMS as
opposed to within the applications themselves. In Mac OS X, the MIDI configurations are left to the
individual applications.
PC and MAC
SECTION 1 â PLAY MIDI FILES
The G-DEC is the worldâs first guitar amplifier that contains a MIDI synthesizer. The G-DEC synthesizer
is a fully functional General MIDI (GM) wave table synthesizer and is capable of synthesizing many
instruments. The G-DEC has MIDI music files built into its memory. These files are sent to the internal
synthesizer when you select the front panel START/STOP button. The MIDI tracks that come with the G-
DEC represent a diverse range of musical styles and are varied enough to keep any user entertained for
many hours.
What are MIDI files?
MIDI files contain instructions for playing music. Figure 1 below shows a capture of a small amount of
MIDI. As you can see, it is a sequence of musical notes as played on instrument channels. The notes are
switched on and off at the appropriate times. MIDI files do not contain the music signal the way that MP3
or WAV files do. MIDI files are simply a list of instructions that tell the synthesizer what instrument to
play and how to play it. The MIDI interface transmits commands between MIDI devices. A synthesizer
creates the musical sounds after reading and interpreting the commands.
Figure 1 example of MIDI data
Although MIDI is a standard, synthesizers vary in quality from poor to good. Donât be surprised if the
synthesizer in your computer sounds a bit different that the synthesizer in the G-DEC.
OK, so what about the MIDI jacks?
You can use the G-DEC front panel MIDI connections to transfer MIDI files to the G-DEC internal
synthesizer. The files can come from your computer or any other MIDI device.
PC
How do I connect my computer?
Most PCs have the ability to output MIDI data. The type of connection you have varies from PC to PC.
Most people will need to buy an adapter or cable of some sort. That adapter/cable will usually take one of
three forms:
1. Soundcards
Most older PCs, or newer PCs with add-on sound cards, have game port connectors, usually 15 pin âDâ
connectors on the soundcard. This is the same connector that you would connect your joystick to if you are
a gamer. The MIDI signals are usually included on this connector.
In order to get the MIDI signals to the G-DEC you will need to break out the MIDI signals from the
joystick signals. Most computer stores will carry a âbreakoutâ cable as shown in Figure 2. One end of the
cable connects to the sound cardâs 15 pin connector. The other end of the cable will have MIDI IN and
