Performance Functions and Effects
A performance using a function that produces a sound such as
DRUM ROLL can’t be recorded in a Song.
The Pitch Bend/Modulation lever located at the left of the
keyboard can be used to apply two types of effect to the
sound you’re playing in Keyboard mode.
Pitch Bend
is an effect that lowers the pitch of the sound you’re
playing when you move the lever toward the left, or raises it
when you move the lever toward the right.
Modulation
is an effect that applies vibrato to the sound you’re
playing when you push the lever away from yourself.
If the MFX type is ROTARY, this will switch the rotational speed
instead of Modulation.
fig.bendlever.eps
If you press the lever away from yourself while moving it to left
or right, both effects will be applied at the same time.
The extent of the pitch change can be assigned for each Tone.
For details, refer to “Pitch Bend Range” (p. 41).
“Bend Mode” (p. 46)
You can use the two
ANALOG MODIFY knobs
to modify the
sound of the GW-8.
Use
ANALOG MODIFY [SELECT]
to choose the effect that the
knobs will have.
MASTER EQ settings are stored in System settings (p. 46), and
the other settings are stored in the Tone settings of the
Performance (p. 41).
Adjusting the MASTER EQ
If you press
ANALOG MODIFY [SELECT]
to select MASTER EQ,
the two knobs will operate as [LOW] and [HIGH] knobs.
Master EQ is applied to the overall output of the GW-8 that is
sent from OUTPUT and PHONES.
If you want to keep these settings, press [WRITE] to save them
in “SYSTEM.”
