ADDING SEQUENCER PARTS TO THE
GW50’S BACKING—You can record ad-
ditional parts on the sequencer to
match and supplement parts in the
song of the GW50. The sequencer can
then be synchronized with the GW50 in
playback, allowing you to play both the
GW50 parts and the sequencer parts at
the same time.
Note: Since the GW50 does not, however,
respond to incoming clock messages
(it has no “external sync” operation), you
cannot synchronize and control the GW50
from the connected device.
SYNCHRONIZING ANOTHER DEVICE WITH THE GW50
2. Set the connected rhythm machine or
sequencer to receive on one of channels 6 –
16 (1 – 5 should be avoided, since these are
used for transmitting program changes and
Backing part note data from the GW50).
Also, set its operation to “external sync” or
the equivalent, (refer to the owner’s manual
of the device for details).
3. Now, select a song or pattern on the GW50
and press [START/STOP] to start it. The
rhythm machine or sequencer will play back
in perfect synchronization with the Backing
parts of the GW50.
USING THE BACKING PATTERNS TO PLAY OTHER
SOUND MODULES
The accompaniment, bass and drum
patterns of the GW50 are stored
in the unit as MIDI data, and can
be used to play back sounds from
connected synthesizers, rhythm
machines and sound modules. For
example, the GW50 could be hooked
up to the Yamaha TG500 Tone Gen-
erator, and be used to play the
bass, drums, and various accompaniment
instrument sounds (such as piano, guitar,
organ, etc.) on the TG500, to comple-
ment or even replace the Backing sounds
of the GW50.
Operation —
1. Make sure all MIDI connections have been
made properly (see connection example F on
page 101).
2. Make the following settings on the connected
instrument (referring to the owner’s manual
of that instrument for details):
* Set up different instrumental parts (for
example, piano, guitar, bass and drums) as
part of a multi-timbral program.
* The GW50 transmits accompaniment
sounds on channels 2 and 3, bass on
channel 4, and drums on channel 5.
Note: Program change messages (effect
program changes on the GW50) are
transmitted on Channel 1.

MATCHING ACCOMPANIMENT SOUNDS—
Since the specific accompaniment in-
struments differ according to the pat-
tern selected, refer to the Preset
Pattern List on page 144; this will help
you decide what kinds of accompani-
ment sounds you should select on your
tone generator, depending on the Back-
ing pattern. Refer also to the chart on
page 146 for specific drum and percus-
sion sound assignments.
3. Now, select a song or pattern on the GW50
and press [START/STOP] to start it. The
Backing tracks will now play on both the
GW50 and the connected instrument. (If the
BACKING LEVEL is set to 0, only the
connected tone generator will sound.)
