LG tour.AVI

A completely outmoded video from 2009 showing how I used the LG1 to run my acoustic & 1-man-band show. I've since changed how I run it, and I upgraded internals on this to LG2 spec, which is a massive exponential growth in both memory (LG2 has dynamic memory allocation) and software functionality. Xavier, the genius of Gordius, is evolving the platform at an incredible pace. Still...even in this 2009 video using outmoded hardware/software, I'm only tapping into about 10% of what the LG1 device could do at that time.

Excellent innovative idea to run both sequencer and Axe from foot controller. may I ask what software are you using? Or it could be generally any DAW, bit how would be possible to shift from song to song?

[virtualericgear]

Performers used midi footwitches to run sequencers, lights, and racks of midi gear back in the late 80's, early 90's. I'm doing a super-simple version of that. I use MOTU digital performer because you can map any midi command to any function. The video shows how I go from song to song. When shopping for a DAW, investigate the midi remote capability and ability to build a playlist you can cue with midi.

Just ordered me a LG2...looking forward to getting it next week! Kepp the videos coming mate!

Good luck getting your LG2, I paid for mine Jan 24 and have yet to receive it. The guy handling shipment isn't sticking to his word, and already mixed up my order once.

@virtualericgear sorry to hear that mate! Was it Xavier? He seems to be on top of everything man! I would check with him! Regards

Xavier is on top of it. This guy wasn't, but it finally showed up -- ironically the same day I whined here. The LG2 rocks so far - loaded up and downloaded great. If you're using axe-fx, be sure to turn off sysex send of the tempo or you might get a bad checksum when you dump to the LG after configuring your pedals.

I paid for the upgrade last week. Looking forward to the LG2 for sure. It'd be nice to see a video of the OLED screen.

VERY nice explanation..!!! I'm still mapping out my LG, but I'm still wrestling with my bass rig - but I may just grab an Ultra and call it a day as well. I'm borrowing a buddy's to test drive right now.

Are you going to get the upgrade to the LG2?

[virtualericgear]

No, not at all. If you're sloppy and step on a button with the edge of your shoe, you'll step on another by accident. At just the right angle, you can step on a top and bottom button by accident, but again....gotta be pretty clumsy to do that.
