Note: PROBLEMS WITH PATTERN CHANGES—If
there are pattern changes in the
song, the accompaniment sounds of the
GW50 may change (in an extreme example,
from guitar to strings when changing from
a rock pattern to a ballad). However, the
tone generator will not change but
continue to play the accompaniment sound
which was set for the start of the song. To
get around this problem, follow the hint
below and record the accompaniment to a
sequencer, then make the necessary
program changes from the sequencer.
USING THE BACKING PATTERNS TO PLAY OTHER SOUND MODULES

RECORDING THE GW50’S BACKING
TRACKS TO A SEQUENCER—In a vari-
ation of the above operation,
you could connect a MIDI
sequencer to the GW50, and con-
nect the tone generator to the
sequencer (as shown in connec-
tion example E on page 101),
then record the Backing tracks
to the sequencer. In this way,
you take advantage of the edit-
ing functions and conveniences of your
sequencer, making program changes
and changing the tracks as you like,
then playing them back on another
sound module. (The Backing sounds of
the GW50 cannot be played from
another device.)
