GiO by APOGEE – User’s Guide
FAQs
Question - What expression pedals are compatible with GiO?
Answer - First, the expression pedal’s 1/4” connector must be a
3-conductor TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) type. Pedals with a 2-conductor TS
(tip-sleeve) are usually meant for analog volume control, and won’t
work properly. Even amongst 3-conductor expression pedals, there
are two commonly used connection standards. Through the utility
app GiOCong, GiO supports both standards. Please see page 21
for details.
Question - Yeah, thanks for the expression pedal dissertation, but
which pedals have you tested?
Answer - Apogee has tested the Yamaha FC-7 and the Roland
EV-5. We’ll post additional supported expression pedals on our
website:

Question - What is GiO?
Answer - GiO is the best way for guitarists to work with Logic Studio
and GarageBand. With GiO, you can connect your instrument,
headphones and speakers to your Mac, and control Logic Pro,
Mainstage or GarageBand hands-free.
Question - Can I still use GiO’s footswitches (Transport, Stompbox
and Previous/Next) while using another Apogee interface (such as
Apogee’s ONE) for audio input and output?
Answer - Yes you can. Simply connect both devices, and choose
ONE as your audio input/output device. GiO’s footswitch functions
will automatically be recognized, regardless of the audio input/output
setting.
Question - Can I use GiO with other applications besides Logic
Studio or GarageBand?
Answer - Playback from any audio application such as iTunes or
DVD Player has greater clarity and dynamic range through GiO’s
output. GiO’s complete functionality, including footswitch control and
illuminated user feedback, is only available with Logic Studio and
GarageBand.
Question - None of GiO’s lights are illuminated - is my GiO powered
on?
Answer - Under certain circumstances of normal operation, none of
GiO’s lights are illuminated. In order for GiO’s Stompbox Indicators
to light, the track onto which stompboxes have been inserted must
be selected. If you’ve selected a track with no stompboxes, the
Stompbox Indicators go out.
