7. Enter additional data as the song plays, as
described in the sections below. (Event
indicator dots in the display appear at the
position each time data is entered.)
8. Stop recording by pressing [START/STOP].
Note: Doing this exits the Realtime recording
mode and automatically returns to the
Song mode.
2) Individual Instructions on Recording
Different Types of Data
The sections below provide de-
tailed instructions for
recording specific events.
To record chord changes in realtime:
1. Before recording the song, go to the Pattern
mode and assign the chords that you wish to
record to the four available Pedal Switches.
(See page 78.)
2. Return to Realtime recording, and make sure
that the CHORD RECALL function is se-
lected in the ASSIGNABLE Block, then start
recording (see “REALTIME RECORDING”
section steps #3 and #6 above).
3. Then, while recording the song, press the
appropriate Pedal Switches at the points in
the song that you want the chords to change.
HINT
Since only four different chords can be
assigned to the Pedal Switches and you
may want to record more in the song,
simply repeat the operation above —
this time, after assigning four new
chords to the Pedal Switches — and
start recording from where you left off
the last time.
Note: If for some reason the position indicator is
not at the first 16th note in the song but
instead is at some point in the middle of
the measure, the chord will be properly
entered at the indicated position, but the
pattern will be entered at the beginning of
the measure (since patterns cannot begin
in the middle of a measure).
REALTIME RECORDING MODE (REALTIME RECORDING)
Note: USE OF STARTING EVENTS AT BEGINNING
OF SONG—If you intend to record Backing
mute status, effect program numbers, and
effect on/off events at some point in a
song, you should enter starting events for
these types of data as well. If no such
events are recorded at the beginning of
the song, the GW50 simply plays back the
current settings. Thus, the start of the
song (up until the properly entered data)
may not sound as you expect.
To record Backing mute status, effect pro-
gram numbers, and effect on/off events at
the start of a song:
Operation —
1. Simultaneously press [SHIFT]
and [SONG REC] to enable recording.
2. Make the desired settings. (Even if
the current settings are the ones you
wish to use, you must actually use
the panel here to select them; the
GW50 will not record the current set-
tings of these types of events unless
they are properly set from the panel.)
3. Press [START/STOP] to start re-
cording. The data is automatically re-
corded to the start of the song.
The pattern is automatically entered here.
The chord is entered at the selected position.
