the Split Point setting screen will appear. You can turn the
VALUE dial to change the Split Point. When you’re finished,
press [EXIT].

Changing the Variations
You can press the
VARIATION buttons
to change the type of
ensemble that will play the backing.
The button you press flashes until the new pattern is used (after
which the button lights steadily.)
VARIATION [1]
produces the simplest arrangement, and
VARIATION [4]
produces the most florid.
For an intro or ending,
VARIATION [1]
is the shortest and
simplest.
Using the Auto Fill-in Function
If you leave
[AUTO FILL-IN]
on (button lit), a fill-in will play
when you switch between accompaniment Variations. The fill-
in that is played between the current and the next Variation
pattern depends on where you come from.
What’s a “
Fill-In
”?–A short improvisational phrase inserted at
the bar line is called a “Fill In.” The GW-8 automatically plays
the appropriate phrase for the selected Style.
Stopping a Style
1.
Press [START/STOP] once again to make the backing stop.
If you press [ENDING] instead of [START/STOP], the ending
phrase will play and then the backing will stop.
Adjusting the Part Balance ([PART VIEW])
If [STYLE] is on, or if all of the BACKING TYPE buttons are off,
you can access the PERFORM MIXER screen by pressing [PART
VIEW].
In the PERFORM MIXER screen you can adjust the volume for
each Part of the Style. You can also mute (silence) a specific
Part, or play only a specific Part.
