Introduction 1•1

1 • Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the GEM PS2600-GPS2600-GPS3600 by Generalmusic !

These instruments provide high quality sounds and accompaniments, and a simple user interface with

a graphic instrument display which allows total control of all the performance and programming activi-

ties.

POWER AND MULTIMEDIA FACILITIES

The new PS/GPS Series instruments, PS2600, GPS2600 and GPS3600, incorporate a Flash-ROM

memory which allows the instruments to be up-dated by disk with the latest operational advantages and

new functions. An on-board 2.5” IDE Hard Disk is a standard feature for all three models, as is the

battery-backed 8 Mb Sample RAM memory to increase the number of on-board waveforms with sam-

ples from a wide range of choices. The operating system features an advanced Sound editor and the

Sample Translator, not to mention the Audio Vocal Processor for vocal harmonizer possibilities as well

as multi-effect processing of incoming line/mic signals.

A guitar player can connect to the audio inputs of the PS/GPS Series instruments and play the chords

which appear on a monitor connected to the instrument’s video outputs, and mix his sounds with those

of the workstation (complete with effects processing!). At the same time a group of singers can follow

the lyrics projected on a television (or other video projection device) by the PS/GPS video interface. All

models are also predisposed for a SCSI port which can be installed via an optional SCSI kit.

THE OWNER’S MANUAL

The Owner’s Manual is supplied as a 3-ring binder with instructions inserted inside.

How to use the manual

Do not use it as a paperweight: read it. If you understand how PS/GPS operates, you can save a lot of

time. You are encouraged to experiment with alternative operating methods: the PS/GPS is sufficiently

flexible to permit several approaches to obtain the same results.

The QUICK GUIDE offers information on three different levels of complexity: as numbered pictures or

images, as brief instructions and as detailed instructions. You can limit yourself to following the images

only, or by reading the bold black type, or by referring to the normal text containing detailed instructions.

The second part of the manual contains the REFERENCE GUIDE which describe the instrument’s

functions in detail without discussing procedures. Experienced users can limit themselves to the refer-

ence chapters.

At the end of the manual is the APPENDIX, with Sound, Style, Preset and Effects tables, the Midi

Implementation chart and an alphabetical Index.
