I've been wanting to try out this cool MIDI Controller/Audio Interface/Stomp box device for a while now! Darn, got to run. Unfortunately I'm soon heading into NYC to meet with some friends and listen to some really wild electronic music. I know my new Apogee GiO has been shipped. So I'm waiting at the studio for the delivery truck (it's raining). Steve H couldn't wait to get his hands (and feet) on one and walks us through his GiO experience over three days. However, the GiO has been designed to seamlesmosly integrate with Logic & Mainstage's Pedalboard and Garageband 11's new amps.īut GiO's aren't exclusively for guitar players! Trust Steve H to whip out his iPad and take an alternative approach to using a GiO.

Like other controllers, the GiO can control effects plugins, instrument plugins and recording functions. It's been described as the complete guitar interface by Apogee and certainly looks the part! While it's more common to find controllers in the shape of keyboards and mixing desks, the GiO takes the form of a stomp box which can be controlled with the tap of a foot. The Apogee GiO has caused quite a stir in the world of Digital Music making.
