Creating Original Phrases

(User Phrase)

In addition to the 30 different prepared phrases, you can also

create up to ten of your own original phrases (User phrases).

Press [FX-2], then press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] so

that “FX Select” is displayed.

Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to select “AR.”

Press [FX-2] a number of times to select “Phrase,” then

rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to select “User 1–10.”

Press PARAMETER [ ] a number of times until you

have the User Phrase settings screen displayed.

fig.04-0110d

Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] to move the cursor,

then rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to set the User

phrase.

User:

specify the user phrase number.

IN:

Sets the note name of the input sound. You can also play

individual notes on the guitar and let the GT-PRO judge

the note name.

STEP:

Sets the step of the phrase. You can also play on the

guitar and put the step forward.

OUT:

SYN (Guitar Synth)

This detects the pitch of an electric guitar and outputs a

synthesizer sound.

* When you use a guitar synthesizer, observe the following

points.

• It does not work properly when a chord is played. Be sure

to mute all the other strings and play in a single note.

• When you are to play the next string while a certain

sound is still playing, perfectly mute the previous sound

then play the next one with a clear attack.

• If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound

correctly.

Range

-C –-B, C, +D

– +C

Specify the note name of the output

sound. The minus (-) and plus (+) sym-

bols indicate sounds above or below the

set note name.

Triangles next to the note names indicate octaves.

One downward-pointing triangle indicates a note one octave

below the note displayed; two triangles indicates a two-octave

drop.

One upward-pointing triangle indicates a note one octave

above the note displayed; two triangles indicates a two-octave

rise.

–

Indicates a tie. This carries over the same

note from the previous step.

end

Determines the last step. The step imme-

diately before the one for which “end”

has been set becomes the actual last step.

Parameter/

Range

Explanation

Sens

0–100

Adjusts the input sensitivity.

The response of the internal sound source is better with a higher sen-

sitivity value, but the malfunctions will be increased on the other

hand. So, try to set it as high as possible without causing malfunc-

tion.

Wave

Square, Saw, Brass,

Bow

This selects a wave type that is the source of

the guitar synthesizer.

Square

The unit detects the pitch and attack information from the input gui-

tar sound, then send the square waveform ( ) from the inter-

nal sound generator.

Saw

The unit detects the pitch and attack information from the input gui-

tar sound, then send the saw waveform ( ) from the internal

sound generator.

Brass

The unit directly processes the input guitar sound and creates a gui-

tar synthesizer sound. It gives a quick sound rise and send the sound

with a sharp edge.

Bow

The unit directly processes the input guitar sound and creates a gui-

tar synthesizer sound. It outputs a soft sound without attack.

Chromatic *1

Off, On

This switches on or off the chromatic func-

tion.

When it is on, the pitch change of the synthesizer sound is in semi-

tone steps. This does not respond to pitch changes less than a semi-

tone, such as what might be obtained with bending or vibrato. Thus,

this is effectively used for realistically playing musical instruments

whose pitch will change in steps greater than a semitone, such as a

keyboard.

Octave Shift *1

0, -1, -2

This allows you to shift the pitch of the inter-

nal sound module in an octave step from the

guitar sound.

PWM Rate (Pulse Width Modulation Rate) *2

0–100

This gives breadth or fatness to the sound by

applying modulation to the waveform (only

to Square) in the internal sound module.

A higher value will quicken the rate of the modulation.
