The GiO allows for software control, making it easier than ever to change your sound without the need for a mouse. You can audition effects presets in GarageBand, Logic, and MainStage, and turn effects on and off while playing or recording – all without touching your keyboard. Additionally, the GiO enables hands-free recording, freeing you from having to use key commands, allowing you to focus on your performance. The transport buttons on the GiO make it easy to record, play, stop, and navigate through your tracks without taking your hands off your guitar’s neck. The preset select buttons let you quickly switch between guitar amps, effects presets, and patch lists in various software applications.
