PPC-210 for Digitech GSP2101
2005-02-02 by Dieter Waechter
Hello! Some have asked me for a PPC210 module for the GSP2101 or the TSR24. NOW I HAVE IT AVAILABLE IN A VERY SMALL QUANTITY! These will be the last PPC210 ever made, because the parts for them are definitely sold out completely! So you can buy one of the last PPC210 modules ever! Here is what you can purchase now: PPC210 for Digitech GSP2101 This is a perfect rebuild of the Digitech PPC-210 Module which isn't available from Digitech anymore. It's a professional rebuild and comes with 100% functional guarantee. The Module comes with detailed installation-manual in English and also with a CD ROM which contains all necessary Software to store your settings and patches on your PC over MIDI. To install the PPC210 Module you need software- version 2.00 or higher in your GSP2101. If you don't know which software- version you've got: - switch off the GSP2101 - switch on the GSP2101 while watching the display - The Software- Version is shown there while boot up - E.g. there is shown: "2.01.01.a." - If you have a lower software- version, you have to update the software. A software- upgrade kit you can get from me also! I always recommend to upgrade to Software- Version 3.00.00.a. With this software you'll get the best out of your GSP 2101 All you need to upgrade it you can buy from me! BTW.: the ".a" at the end of the software- version describes, if you're GSP2101 runs with 20MHz cycle frequency or not. If you have a ".a" at the end of the software- version the Z80 (the Z80 is the main- processor of your 2101) works with 20 MHz. If you have no ".a" at the end of the software- version the Z80 works with 10 MHz only. The PPC210 comes with SDISC I Processor. The following information is only for the professionals: I guarantee that the cannon echo will NOT appear with this PPC210. I have found a special way to avoid it. You will get the following benefits by installing the PPC210- Module: - Create algorithms that use BOTH S-Discs simultaneously. This means that you can now create some pretty big algorithms using more exotic modules than with a single S-Disc unit. - Switch Seamlessly between single S-Disc programs. This allows your "Metallica Crunch" program to fade out according to your preprogrammed ramp times while the 2101 is loading up your "Clean Delay" algorithm (because you punched it up on your FC-1). The small amount of time it takes the 2101 to load the second program is covered up with the sound of your previous program fading out, rather than a sharp drop in sound. Furthermore, by allowing slow fade and hold times, you can actually blend the two sounds together for a few seconds to make the transition smoother. However, note that as soon as the switch is made, your input is no longer sent to the first program; the sound from that program is merely whatever sound was still stored in its delay & reverb buffers. Note: you cannot switch seamlessly from or to a Dual-S-Disc program, because they require both S-Discs to operate. However, you can have Dual S-Disc programs, and still use seamless switching for other (single S-disc) programs. In other words, you don't have to choose between Seamless Switching or Dual S-Disc Programs for your entire unit; just for your individual programs. Just realize that there will be a small gap when switching to or from Dual S-Disc programs.
