PATTERN MODE
In the Pattern mode, you can select and play rhythm and accompaniment
patterns. There are 248 preset patterns covering a wide variety of musical
styles, and they feature realistic drum, bass and other accompaniment sounds.
Combined with the sophisticated chord controls of the GW50, these preset
patterns provide easy-to-use backing tracks for performing along with.
Note: Unless indicated otherwise, all operations in the Pat-
tern mode covered below can be performed either
while the pattern is stopped or being played.
HINT
PATTERN TYPES—The patterns can be
roughly divided into groups of four types,
each designed to fill a specific role in a song.
The types are indicated by the last one or
two characters in the pattern name:
…A — Basic pattern, used generally for the “A”
part of a song, such as the verse.
…AF — Fill in based on the basic pattern.
…B — Variation pattern, used generally for the “B”
part of a song, such as the bridge or chorus.
…BF — Fill in based on the variation pattern.
To select the Pattern mode, press [SONG/PAT-
TERN] so that the PATTERN LED lights. (The
current pattern name appears in the display.)
IMPORTANT
The operations covered in this section on the
Pattern mode pertain specifically to the Pattern
mode. Make sure that the Pattern mode has been
selected before trying each operation.
