Mailist to discuss all issues regarding the Digitech GSP-2101 Guitar FX Processor

Neil:

You will lose patches 1 - 100 (user programs) when you change your battery.

MIDIWizard makes a backup of all user programs 1 - 100 and any associated user algorithms.  When you restore your user programs, you can restore them all in one operation or you can select each program from your backup and assign it to a different user program number on your 2101.  This gives you the opportunity to rearrange your user programs if you wish.  Whichever restore scheme you choose, your user algorithms, if any, are restored together with the corresponding user programs.

Factory programs (101 and higher) and factory algorithms are not backed up because they are not lost during a battery change and they can not be edited.

I hope this helps.
Graham

        As I understand ,patches 1-100 can be edited and those from 101-200 cannot be edited.

        When the lithium battery is removed, which would entail a reset, which patches would I stand to lose?

          None of the software packages Dieter lists on his website work with recent versions of Microsoft Windows such as XP, Vista, or Windows 7.  Only MIDIWizard works with all versions of Windows 98 or later and it includes all of the features incorporated in the early software packages listed on Dieter's site.

              Oh yeah, I do actually have a Tascam MIDI to USB interface but alas I've never used it. And I have a Windows7 i5 machine w/8gb memory. Pretty capable machine....

              I too need to back up all of my patches but y'know I bought my 2101 brand new back in the early 90's but never got around to getting the whole MIDI thing down. 

              Seems most sites I've come across give a very generic explanation and/or history of MIDI or they assume the most basic functions are understood, or rather "obvious". 

              Any advice or recommendation on a good primer in MIDI basics would be appreciated, especially anything that deals directly with our 2101's. 

              Thanks. 
              Chris P.

                    Hi,
                    It appears that I may  need to remove the lithium battery from the unit ,which would entail in my presets being erased.

                    Could you let me know how I could upload/transfer the existing patches from the unit onto my Laptop,prior to the reset  being done.

                    I have a Dell Studio Laptop.Slots available on the laptop are an Express Card slot,8-in-1 media card reader,Audio In Microphone Connector,Audio Out Headphone connector

                    Cheers,
                    Neil
