Settings for the Entire GR-55 (SYSTEM)
Tab Parameter Value Description
PICKUP
PU DIRECTION
Species the direction in which the divided pickup is attached.
NORMAL The cable extends from the side of the 6th string.
REVERSE The cable extends from the side of the 1st string.
S1/S2 POSITION
Swaps the functions of the [S1] and [S2] buttons of the GK-3 or GK-2A.
NORMAL The switches will not be swapped.
REVERSE The functions of the [S1] and [S2] buttons will be swapped.
NORM PU GAIN -20–+20 dB
Adjusts the input level of the normal pickup.
When making this setting, set the GK pickup’s select switch to “MIX.”
PIEZO TONE LOW -10–+10 dB
Adjusts the low-frequency range
* This setting applies if the PU TYPE is set to “PIEZO,” “PIEZO F,” “PIEZO G,” “PIEZO
L,” or “PIEZO R.”
PIEZO TONE HIGH -10–+10 dB
Adjusts the high-frequency range.
* This setting applies if the PU TYPE is set to “PIEZO,” “PIEZO F,” “PIEZO G,” “PIEZO
L,” or “PIEZO R.”
DISTANCE PU<->BRIDGE
If GUITAR<->BASS is set to “GUITAR” (p.9)
10.0–30.0 mm
Species the distance between the divided pickup and the bridge.
This setting is ignored if the PU TYPE is set to “PIEZO,” “PIEZO F,” “PIEZO G,” “PIEZO L,” or
“PIEZO R.”
If GUITAR<->BASS is set to “BASS” (p.9)
5.5–55.5 mm
Species the distance between the divided pickup and the bridge.
This setting is ignored if the PU TYPE is set to “PIEZO,” “PIEZO G,” or “PIEZO R.”
SENSITIVITY SENS 0–100 Species the input sensitivity of the divided pickup.
VELOCITY
VELOCITY DYNAMICS 1–10
Adjusts the sensitivity of the PCM tone’s volume (velocity) change.
The further you raise this setting, the more easy it becomes to produce higher values
for velocity.
PLAY FEEL 1–5
Adjusts the volume (velocity) change curve of the PCM tone.
The lower-numbered settings give you a wider range of volume change in response
to your picking dynamics.
With higher-numbered settings, the volume becomes more consistent regardless of
your picking dynamics.
The “5” setting gives you a completely xed velocity.
LOW VELOCITY CUT 0–10
Adjust this if simply touching a string causes a note to be unintentionally triggered.
Raising this value will make it more dicult to trigger notes.
NUANCE
These settings adjust the way in which Nuance (p.28) responds to your playing.
Adjust these settings so that the level meter reaches the maximum position when you play with the softest touch, and so that the level meter does
not move very much when you play normally.
NUANCE DYNAMICS 0–10
Adjusts the sensitivity at which Nuance occurs. Higher settings will make it easier to
produce the Nuance eect.
NUANCE TRIM 0–10
Species the threshold value at which Nuance occurs. If the Nuance eect occurs
more often than you would like with normal playing, lower this value.
DOWN TUNE SHIFT 0– -5
If the guitar/bass you’re using has been tuned down, specify the number of
chromatic steps by which it has been down-tuned.
OUTPUT SELECT

LINE/PHONES
Choose this setting if you’re using headphones, or if the GR-55 is connected to a keyboard amp, bass amp,
mixer, or digital recorder.
JC-120 Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to the guitar input of a Roland JC-120 guitar amp.
SMALL Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to a small guitar amp.
COMBO
Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to the guitar input of a combo-type guitar amp (a type in
which the amp and speaker are in a single unit) other than the JC-120. Depending on the amp you’re
using, the “JC-120” setting might produce better results.
STACK
Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to the guitar input of a stack-type guitar amp (a type in which
the amp and speaker are separate units).
JC-120 RETURN Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to the JC-120’s RETURN jack.
COMBO RETURN Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to a combo-type guitar amp’s RETURN jack.
STACK RETURN
Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to the RETURN jack of a stack-type guitar amp. You should
also choose the “STACK RETURN” setting if you’re using a guitar power amp together with a speaker
cabinet.
B-AMP WITH TWEETER Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to a bass amp that has a tweeter.
B-AMP NO TWEETER
Choose this setting if the GR-55 is connected to a bass amp that does not have a tweeter. The high-
frequency range will be corrected.
