Chapter 4 The Effects Explained
Chapter
4
Loop
If “Loop” is turned “On,” the phrase will be played back
continuously.
Tempo
Adjust the speed of the phrase.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set
according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 46) specified for
each patch. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings
that match the tempo of the song (synchronizing the tempo to
one-half or one-fourth of the BPM when the set tempo is
increased).
When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display
the Master BPM settings screen.
Sens (sensitivity)
Adjust the sensitivity of triggering. With low settings of this
parameter, softly picked notes will not retrigger the phrase
(i.e., the phrase will continue playing), but strongly picked
notes will retrigger the phrase so that it will playback from
the beginning. With high settings of this parameter, the
phrase will be retriggered even by softly picked notes.
Key
Select the key of the song that you wish to play.
Attack
Adjust the strength of the attack. By adding an attack to each
note of the phrase you can produce a sensation as though the
notes were being picked.
Hold
If you turn hold “On” after you pick a note, the effect sound
will continue even after there is no input signal.
Effect Level
Adjust the volume of the effect sound.
Direct Level
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.

phrase.
User:
specify the user phrase number.
IN:
Sets the note name of the input sound. You can also play
individual notes on the guitar and let the GT-6 judge the
note name.
STEP:
You can also play on the guitar and put the step forward.

■ SYN (Guitar Synth)
This detects the pitch of an electric guitar and outputs a
synthesizer sound.
When you use a guitar synthesizer, observe the
following points.
* It does not work properly when a chord is played. Be sure to
mute all the other strings and play in a single note.
* When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is
still playing, perfectly mute the previous sound then play the
next one with a clear attack.
* If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound correctly.
Sensitivity
This adjusts the input sensitivity. The response of the internal
sound source is better with a higher sensitivity value, but the
malfunctions will be increased on the other hand. So, try to
set it as high as possible without causing malfunction.
Wave
This selects a wave type that is the source of the guitar
synthesizer.
Square ( ):
The unit detects the pitch and attack information from the
input guitar sound, then send the square waveform from the
internal sound source.
