Genuine Soundware and Instruments DMC-122 Manual Addendum

GSi Gemini – manual addendum:

integration with the GSi DMC-122

This short guide aims at the explanation of the integration between the GSi
DMC-122 and the Gemini sound module. The first important thing to note is
that the DMC-122 features four MIDI outputs: USB, MO1, MO2 and INT. When

the Gemini is mounted into the DMC-122 expansion slot, it is automatically
connected to the INT port. For this reason, in order to play the Gemini, Midi

events must be sent towards the INT port.

Another important fact is that the DMC-122 has room for 32 user SetUps
numbered from 1 to 32, plus one additional SetUp numbered 0 (zero) which is
a special SetUp that can't be deleted nor overwritten. This special SetUp is used
for controlling the VB3-II engine built into the DMC-122 Editor application, and
by default sends all events to the USB port. Please consult Chapter 10 of the
DMC-122 User's manual for more details.

When a DMC-122 is ordered along with a Gemini board, this is delivered
preinstalled, and two additional SetUps are preloaded into the DMC-122:

1. Gemini VB3-2: this SetUp is essentially a copy of the “special” SetUp n.0

with the only difference that it uses the Midi Port INT in order to send
events to the Gemini instead of the USB port. This SetUp uses only DSP 1.

2. Gemini CTRL: this SetUp is an example for a generic control of the Gemini

board. By default, the upper manual is set on channel 1 and lower manual
is set on channel 4; the upper starts with VB3-II organ and the lower starts
with a Tine Piano; use the buttons 1 to 7 for switching between 7 different
presets on the upper manual; use the buttons 11 - 17 for switching
between 7 different presets on the lower manual. The sustain pedal is only
assigned to the lower manual (which is generally assigned to piano
sounds). Both keyboards use velocity and send aftertouch. Connect an
half-moon for switching the rotary fx speeds when playing the VB3-II
organ. The function keys F1 and F2 are used to change the octave of the
lower manual.

If you wish to create more SetUps that use the sounds from the Gemini, it is a
good idea to start from one of the two examples above and modify the
controls according to your own needs. So connect the DMC-122 to your
computer with a USB cable, start the Editor and explore all settings.

Please remember that:

1. all settings related to the two keyboards (Midi Channels, velocity settings,
etc.) are found among the Global Settings (Chapter 7);

2. asking the Gemini to load specific sounds (presets) when a SetUp is
loaded is done using the Startup Messages that can automatically send
Midi Program change events (Chapter 8);

3. the other 3 Midi ports of the DMC-122 can be used for controlling other
Midi devices such as sound modules from other manufacturers or
computer softwares;

4. the Gemini is treated as a normal Midi sound module connected to the
INT port.

Last but not least, remember that reading the user's manuals always helps us
understanding the devices we use and allows us to get the better results out of
them.

Gemini can be obtained from: www.GenuineSoundware.com Downloads.→
