PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS
This section shows and explains all of the controls and terminals of the GW50. Since
the explanations below are fairly brief, you should turn to the page references given
for more information on individual buttons and features.
A few general comments:
Some of the buttons described below must be
pressed together to call up a certain function.
These are indicated either by a “+” mark (for
example, “[SHIFT] + [SUB PARAM]”), or by
the word “with” (for example, “With
[SHIFT]:”).
Markings for three of the panel controls which
are used simultaneously with another control —
SHIFT
,
CHORD
and
B
(for the ASSIGN-
ABLE Block Pedal Switch) — are enclosed in a
border which indicates the direction(s) in which
their companion controls can be found. For
example, the
CHORD
mark points to the right,
indicating that the settings below the buttons on
the right can be selected by simultaneously
pressing
CHORD
and the appropriate button.
Also, keep in mind that the function which is
enabled — simultaneously holding down
SHIFT
,
CHORD
or
B
, and pressing that
button — is always printed below the button.
The buttons whose primary functions are indi-
cated in boxed titles above each button
([MANUAL], [MEMORY] and [SONG/PAT-
TERN]) are referred to as the “mode buttons”
and can be conveniently used as exit buttons to
“escape” from most in-progress operations
(such as Copying, Naming, MIDI Bulk
Transmission, etc.).
All controls that are used to increase or de-
crease values feature continuous and rapid
operation, to let you more quickly and easily
reach a desired value. With the [–]/[+] buttons,
hold down one button to continuously move
through the values and, while holding down
that button, press the other to increase the
speed. Releasing the second button returns to
normal speed. With Pedal Switches 1 and 2
(when used for [–]/[+] control) and the Position
Control buttons (<, >, etc.), holding down the
appropriate control moves through the values
with increasing speed.
