BACKING SECTION
GUIDED TOUR (TUTORIAL)
BACKING SECTION
The Backing section of the GW50 is divided into two modes:
Pattern and Song.
PLAYING PATTERNS — PATTERN MODE
The Pattern mode lets you play various
rhythm and accompaniment patterns in a
wide variety of styles. The patterns feature
dynamic and realistic drum, bass and other
accompaniment sounds, such as piano, guitar
and organ. What’s more, the sophisticated
accompaniment and bass sounds can be
changed to any key and automatically re-
harmonized in 25 different chord types. With
this kind of control, you’ve got a complete
backing band to accompany you as you
practice, play or perform.
1. Press [SONG/PATTERN] until the PAT-
TERN LED lights (even if the LED is al-
ready lit). This selects the Pattern mode.
2. Using [6 CURSOR], move the arrow in the
display to the PTN (Pattern) box.
3. Now, you can use the [–]/[+] buttons to select
a pattern number. (The [–]/[+] buttons also
feature rapid operation; see page 5.)
With the exception of the last several patterns
(see note on page 73), note that only odd
number patterns can be selected here. These
are the basic rhythm patterns, and the even
ones are Fill In patterns. For example, pattern
#1 is the basic pattern and #2 is its compan-
ion Fill In pattern. (We’ll describe how to
play the Fill In patterns in step #5 below.)
4. Press [START/STOP] to play the pattern
you’ve selected. (The LED above the button
flashes in time with the rhythm.)
