Hello Jayman , I have exactly the same issue, suddenly my Staccato 51 Tuner is off key, G string was coming up as B etc.

I don't understand how this functionallity could get defect and even after doing the reset to factory default settings by holding mute while switching one the issue remains.

I'm really disappointed this and did not expect this to happen on this high level TC electronic bass amp.

Unfortunately my amp is one year out of warranty, was the issue solved in your case ?

What would you advise ?

Best regards

thanks very much laird, works a treat

Set the G-System MIDI configuration to match the Carvin as follows:

1) Enter the MIDI menu (Edit->Menu->[MIDI]->Enter)

2) Set [MIDI Channel] = 1

3) Set [MIDI Program Change In] = Off

4) Set [MIDI Program Change Out] = On Map

5) Select [Program Map Reset] and hit enter to reset the program map.



Wire the MIDI signal path

1) Use a 5-pin MIDI cable to connect the G-System MIDI Out to the Legacy II MIDI In.



Program the 3 presets you need on the Carvin

1) If you have not already done so, save 3 G-System presets to user preset 00-1, 00-2, 00-3. If you already have presets there, fine. If not, ANY preset will do. You can copy B9-5 to that location, which will give you "blank slate", if you like - here is how:

a) Select patch B9-5.

b) Select Edit -> Menu -> [Preset] -> Enter

c) Use the encoder to Select "Save Preset" (something like that, maybe "store"?)

d) Use the other encoder to select preset location 00-1

e) Press Enter

You have now saved the "All Bypassed" patch to user preset location 00-1.

f) Repeat steps a-f for preset 00-2

f) Repeat steps a-f for preset 00-3



Again - you do NOT have to do this if you already have user preset loaded into these 3 locations.



2) Hold down the channel SELECT switch for amp channel 1

3) WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE PRIOR SWITCH, press the other two Channel Select switches SIMULTANEOUSLY and then release all three at the same time. The LED for the channel you picked will be flashing.

4) From the G-System, select user preset 00-1. The LED AMP LED will flash once to confirm. The amp will return to normal operations.

5) Repeat steps 2-4 for amp channel 2 with G-System Preset 00-2

6) Repeat steps 2-4 for amp channel 3 with G-System Preset 00-3



Test

1) Select G-System Preset 00-1. The amp should change to channel 1.

2) Select G-System Preset 00-2. The amp should change to channel 2.

3) Select G-System Preset 00-3. They amp should change to channel 3.



How to set an amp channel for any G-System preset

Now that you have pre-programmed the amp, and you have the amp and the G talking to each other, you can simple SET the amp channel you want to use for any G-System user preset. How? In the MIDI Preset map.



On the G-System, set the amp channel for a given G-System preset as follows:

1) Edit->Menu->[MIDI]->Enter->[Edit Program Map] -> Enter

2) Turn one encoder so that the Preset number you want to set is shown on the left side of the display.

3) Turn the other encoder so that the MIDI Program number you want to send is on the right side of the display. BECAUSE we did what we did above, this is logically the SAME as saying "turn the other encoder so that the amp channel you want to use is on the right side..."

4) Hit the edit button several times until you are back in play mode.



You CAN set the program map for presets 00-1, 00-2, 00-3 to something other than 1,2,3 now. It will not hurt - and will not change the programming we did in the amp. We just needed these values in the presets temporarily so we could do the amp programming. Now you can have them use the channels you want them to use.
