SONG MODE
When a song is playing —
The cursor can only be moved between TEMPO
and the Effect mode display.
Note: Although you can change the displayed chord
and pattern number, this has no effect on song
playback, since the GW50 returns to the origi-
nally programmed chord and pattern number
before starting the song. For more information
on entering these and other types of events,
see STEP RECORDING, page 88.)
Changing the Tempo
You can change the tempo of a song, either before
or during playback.
To change the tempo, simply use [6 CURSOR] to
move the cursor arrow to TEMPO in the display,
and adjust the tempo with the [–]/[+] buttons.
Note: The tempo change you make here is automati-
cally saved as the tempo setting for the song,
erasing the previous setting. (In other words,
the last tempo setting made is the one that is
in effect.)
Muting the Accompaniment, Bass
and Drums
This function lets you turn the sound of the indi-
vidual backing parts (accompaniment, bass and
drums) on and off, either before starting a song
(providing no muting events are at the start of the
song) or while it is playing.
Note:If muting events have been entered
in a song, the mute status will
change accordingly during playback.
Operation —
Simultaneously hold down [SHIFT] and press the
appropriate button: [ACCOMP], [BASS] or
[DRUMS].
Note: If the cursor arrow has been moved, “MANUAL”
or the current effect program name may be
displayed instead of the pattern name and
current chord. (This is the Effect mode display.)
To restore the Backing mode display shown
above, press [6 CURSOR]. (See “Cursor Control
in Song Mode” below for details.)
Note: If many events (particularly those of effect
program changes) have been recorded within a
measure of a song, the position indicator may
move jerkily through the measure. This only ap-
plies to the display; actual playback is unaf-
fected
.
HINT
A Repeat function (A-B Repeat) lets you re-
peatedly and continuously play a specified
section of the song. (See page 92 for
details.)
4. To stop the song, press [START/STOP]
again.
Note: ABOUT SONG STOP—If you let the song play
to the end, it will stop automatically and return
to the first measure. If you’ve stopped the song
in the middle of playback, [START/STOP]
functions like a pause button, alternately paus-
ing and resuming playback from the paused
point. To return to the first measure of the
song, simultaneously press the [n] and [v] but-
tons.
Cursor Control in Song Mode
The cursor arrow can be moved (using [6 CUR-
SOR]) among the various sections of the display
as described below:
When a song is not playing —
The cursor arrow can be moved among the
TEMPO, SONG and PTN sections of the Backing
mode display, and the Effect mode display
(“MANUAL” or the current effect program name).
(The cursor arrow actually disappears from the
LCD when the Effect mode display is selected.)
