TBH - their (notably) earlier incarnations, such as the BR-800 had some superior options for effects and mixing compared to its contenpories.. Used one for years, an excellent machine. The set-up via Linux was and is a major game changer for me... It made live work with a laptop running as backup audio device seamlessly a viable option... I always look at live work as a process of "problem reduction". If something can do what you need and want, without adding to the list if issues - it's a keeper. If it reduces problems, it's no longer a keeper - it's a necessity.

I can't believe how feature packed this is! Even if I'm not a musician, I want this! I currently have a Behringer x1204USB mixer that I use as an audio interface and I like to have ALL my sound devices connected to it so I can use my Sennheiser headphones for everything. I currently use a bluetooth receiver for my iPhone's audio, but I want to use my good mics for the calls as well and that currently is not possible with my mixer. I know it's possible with the Rodecaster but now that I see this Gigacaster, I will consider this one as well 😲

I've been tinkering with the footswitch (the FA-GC) and the Gigcaster over the weekend, going into depth with the parameters the footswitch can access and if someone wanted to use this as a 'backing track playback' machine this is what I've learned. You get a bit more functionality if you don't use the 'PAD LINK' function. As the footswitch pedals can access many more 'A' functions than 'B-D' functions, what I wanted to do (namely, start tracks with the footswitch and turn the EFX on and off between tracks) can be achieved but with a reduced number of tracks. Since the GA-FC has 6 buttons I can access 32 tracks via 4 buttons and with a simple changeover of parameters can access the other 32 tracks which could be changed between sets. This is fine for what I want. So by setting the FA-GC to 'PAD LINK' off, you can set the individual GROUPS. Choose 'PEDAL 1' icon. Then select GROUP 'A' and set the CATEGORY to CH 2 and set the FUNCTION to 'EFFECT ON / OFF'. Then select GROUP 'B' and set the CATEGORY to 'SOUND PAD' and the FUNCTION to 'SOUND PAD 1'. With this setting, when you press PEDAL 1, you either start the track on SOUND PAD 1 and turn the EFX on CH2 ON, or pressing again stops the track and turns the EFX off. You rinse and repeat for the other three PEDALS (2-4) altering just the 'B' Group FUNCTION setting to SOUND PAD 2, SOUND PAD 3, or SOUND PAD 4. To change the BANKS of SOUNDPADS choose PEDAL 5, GROUP 'A' and set it to 'SOUND BANK UP'. This way, every time you press PEDAL 5 the SOUND PADS ascend to the next bank. A cool trick then is to hold PEDAL 5 down and it ascends to the last BANK (8), from which you can press single presses to access a particular BANK (say 5 presses to go to BANK 5). With a TRACK SHEET laid at the foot of the pedalboard, I can navigate to any of the 32 tracks on BANKS 1-8 on SOUND PADS 1-4. Likewise with a simple tweak (changing the 'B' Group FUNCTION in each PEDAL to SOUND PAD 5-8), the pedalboard can then navigate to the 32 tracks on SOUND PADS 5-8 through the BANKS 1-8. I've made a tracksheet as follows, where my SOUND PADS in each BANK all correspond to the same colour. PAD 1 = WHITE, PAD 2 = RED, PAD 3 = YELLOW, PAD 4 = GREEN, PAD 5 = ORANGE, PAD 6 = BLUE, PAD 7 = PURPLE, PAD 8 = PINK The NUMBER at the top is the PEDAL NUMBER and the number at the sides are the BANK: Changing the FUNCTION to SOUND PAD 5-8 you can then access the other 32 tracks, This suits our setup as I perform original tracks while my wife who is a classically trained soprano, performs covers. I hope that lot makes sense. I will do a KZitem video when I get the time...and that's not even mentioning the jaw-dropping EFX on this thing which makes a live sound so easy to achieve.

JohnPaul, do you have a video explaining in detail (a step-by-step instruction) how to set up the Gigcaster 8 with the GA-FC EX pedal? If you have not recorded one, could you direct me to someone who has done it? My very specific question is this: how do I assign each switch to perform a given task -- let's say, I want to sing a song that has a part where I will be singing with the double-voice effect; then, I want to sing another part of the song doing vocal harmony (higher & lower). How exactly do I make each switch do that particular effect when I press it? I tried assigning the first switch (on the left) and it worked. I chose double-voice and the effect would go on or off as I pressed the switch. I tried to do the same with the second switch, with a different effect. It did not work, and it was somehow "hooked" to the first switch, meaning it would interfere with the operation of the first switch. I tried the third switch, and the same thing happened. I was not able to choose a different/independent effect for each switch. I am not a technically inclined person, and I feel that I have a Boeing 747 in front of me without clear instructions on how to fly it. At the same time, I've noticed that the documentation that came with both products is very poor, very superficial. I am having a very hard time trying to have fun with the two (Gigcaster 8 & the GA-FC EX pedal), and I am very frustrated. If you can help (or not), please let me know. Thank you for your attention.

This looks great, shows the way things are moving. However as a gigging musician myself it seems to to be guilty of what I historical term as 'Japanese watch syndrome' ie it does about a thousand different things when you really want a mixer to be simple, especially if you are holding a guitar and singing! . I have used a Zoom LiveTrak L-12 Mixer for years and incorporates 12 ins DAW connection, card connections and separate recording and 5 programmable Monitor / Headph outs etc etc. If I see something better I'll get it and although this looks amazing I think I'll stay where I am for the moment.

This thing is so cool, it looks like it has volume for four separate sets of headphones, but can you have a separate mix in each of the headphones, or at least between the headphones and the usb out for example? If you're live streaming, for example, and you're singing and playing guitar, I usually want the mix the audience hears to be a little bit different than what I want to hear in my own headphones (I usually want more of my own vocals in my ears, and this goes double if I'm mixing in other instruments like if I was with a band or something). I'm guessing that's probably not possible with this, but still, this thing is amazing for an all-in-one device, the effects alone are really cool, and for like podcasting or just as a small portable solution for solo gigs or whatever, I can see this being really useful for certain people. :)

I believe Boss and Roland might have been connected, Boss was part of some other company back in the day.

Okay, I do have a question for you. (Knew you'd have the best first review on this machine!) I got the GigCaster 8 for the complete suite, as you said. My use purpose for it is primarily Jamulus, live, real-time online jamming. Here's what I can't figure out: How to get non-direct monitoring through the headphones. (Equivalent, I believe, to non-direct monitoring when inputting to a DAW.) Every audio interface I have looked at has this Monitor alternative: Direct or not direct. But I cannot find it in the GigCaster. When I asked Roland support, they said to send the DAW output (equivalent to the Jamulus output, I think) to GigCaster's USB as channels 1&2: "In the DAW audio settings, sending audio to Gigcaster USB 1+2 will be received on this USB channel of the Gigcaster 5 or Gigcaster 8." (Weird, as I don't see any USB 1+2, but I think they just mean to send it to 1&2.) When I do that with Jamulus, I do get the indirect monitoring mix, but I also get the direct mix--so I'm getting it twice--the direct that I don't want in Jamulus, and the somewhat delayed (latency) sound from the Jamulus server. Have you found a way to get the non-direct monitor mix without the direct monitor mix?

Hi,Is it possible to record the instrument in multitrack and then record a second track while also listening to the first track in headphones?thanks

No. It’s not a multi track recorder in that sense. It’s a live recorder. You could however plug this into a tablet or computer and do that.

As a Metal guitarist who is using a GT-1000 core, first thing that comes to mind is, if there is a sufficient noise gate built in. Sufficient means, Threshold, Attack, Release and Ratio. The "noise reduction" of the GT-1000 sucks as it cannot be dialed in to react fast/tight enough, so I'm using a TC Sentry in front of it. Second thing is: is there a FX loop? And third... I assume that doesn't have MIDI capability? And fourth; does it have built in metronome / drum machine or something like that? And what I also wanna know; is that a metal enclosure because it certainly looks like plastic?!

That’s very interesting regarding the GT-1000 Threshold and attack etc.. obvs I’m not a metal player so was unaware. There isn’t a physical effects loop connection wise on the unit, no. There is midi but it’s more pressing CC numbers for the pads to do other things. No metronome No drum machine Enclosure is actually both - metal top and plastic bottom.

Thank you so much. As you are a sound engineer ,please let me know: Can I ,as a pastor use Rode pro mic ,as hands free mic to address the congregation ;? Will such mics be free from inerfearce from other signals for that use ,or is it good only for use with video camera etc.? Akso ,can it's receiver be connected it to an amplifier without a mixer ? Is mixer essential to connect it to use as a public address system ?

No you can certainly use the rode pro mic (do you mean the new small square wireless pro with or the pro+ which sits on cameras?) either way, you would need the right cable to plug in but yes you certainly could. Signal wise, the wireless PRO run on a new series 4 2.4Ghz transmission system. There could be interference from anything else 2.4 but it’s rare. Yes you can plug it into an amplifier but just need the right cable and watch the volume. The nice thing about the Wireless Pro is that the receiver can also record too if you needed the recording for later on. I personally would use the Lav extraction so the transmitter is out of sight, clipped to your belt for example and the lav wire under your shirt. Hope that helps. This video is a UHF Version. It’s not the Rode but it’s kind of what your thinking: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1qx3v5yQrqpmmaQsi=EFinpzGEJtOx-7OH

Been looking for something like this for a long while. It was either for Podcasts or for musicians without the features we really need. Been using a Bose T1 small console for 5 years but need something more up to date. Questions: 1. How would you setup this unit for guys like me that have a one man band show (Guitar, Vocal and backup tracks) 2. Looking to visualize how I can upgrade to my current setup. 3. Any other options you might recommend? Looking forward to your reply and perhaps your email to ask you a few other questions already have… thanks for this killer video… ✌️

The idea is to capture the audio with this Gigcaster which it can grab as a stereo mix or as separate channels. When you playback, you are best putting that into a DAW to grab all the channels to mix there. 👍🏻 Watch this space for more videos. Coming soon…

I think you might need something bigger unless you want to put your 18 mics into a stereo mix into the Gigcaster. But then I suppose you're using 2 mixers. One for the drums and then one for everything else including talkback and computer interface.

What are the chances you can use the extra physical faders (if you're one man show for example) for different inputs on the computer. Let's say I was on Zoom and wanted chat audio on its own fader. Or if you were gaming and wanted game audio on its own fader, separate from all system sounds.

Yes. So channel one has the high Z input but also has the first combo jack if you wanted to plug a mic into channel 1 instead. Then there are 3 more for channels 2-4, then faders are USB, Phone (aux input on front), USB, pads and finally master.
