System Settings Settings that affect the entire operating environment of the GW-8, such as tuning and MIDI message reception, are referred to as “system settings.” How to Make System Settings ([MENU]) 1. Press [MENU]. 2. Use [ ] [ ] to select “System” then press [ENTER]. 3. Use [ ] [ ] to select a page, and use [ ] [ ] to select the parameter that you want to edit. For details, refer to “System Parameters” (below). 4. Turn the VALUE dial to edit the value. 5. When you’re finished making system settings, press [EXIT]. System Parameters SYSTEM GENERAL Parameter Value Explanation Master Tune Local Switch* System Transpose Bend Mode Screen Saver Time 415.3– 466.2Hz Adjusts the tuning of the entire GW- 8. The displayed value is the frequency of the A4 key (middle A). OFF, ON Refer to “Local Switch” (p. 43). -6–+5 NORMAL CATCH+ LAST OFF, 5, 10–60 (min) Transposes the pitch of the GW-8 in semitone steps. The pitch bend lever will operate in the conventional way. If you play a note when the pitch bend lever is already moved to one side, the pitch will sound as though the lever were in the center position. When the lever passes through the center position, it will once again begin affecting the pitch. This will apply only to the most recently played note. You can use this to simulate the double-bending technique of an electric guitarist. Set the time (minutes) until the screen saver begins working. If this is “OFF,” the screen saver will not appear. USB Driver SYSTEM PEDAL VENDER, GENERIC Refer to “Making the Settings for the USB Driver” (p. 45). Parameter Value Explanation Pedal Assign Selects the function that will be controlled when you press a separately available pedal connected to the CONTROL PEDAL jack. EXPRESSION CHORD OFF CHORD TOGGLE SOSTENUTO SOFT ROTARY SLOW/ FAST START/ STOP BASS INVERSION PUNCH IN/OUT The pedal will function as an Expression pedal. Chord detection in the Lower Part area of the keyboard will be off while you hold down the pedal, allowing you to perform using the entire keyboard. The setting will return to its previous state when you release the pedal. Chord detection in the Lower Part area will turn off when you press the pedal, allowing you to perform using the entire keyboard. The setting will return to its previous state when you press the pedal once again, so that chord detection will be on for the Lower Part area. The pedal will function as a Sostenuto pedal. When you press the pedal, notes that are already being held down will be sustained. (This function can be used only for the keyboard part.) The pedal will function as a Soft pedal. Notes you play while holding down the pedal will have a softer tone. (This function can be used only for the keyboard part.) The pedal will switch the speed of the rotary effect. This is valid only if the ROTARY type is selected for MFX (p. 42). The pedal will start/stop the backing or song playback. The pedal will switch the Bass Inversion function on/off (p. 39). The pedal will control punch-in and punch-out during song recording (p. 29). 46
System Settings FILL UP The pedal will trigger a fill-in, and then the next variation will play (e.g., from MAIN “1” to “2”). Once you reach variation “4,” subsequent presses of the pedal will not change the variation any farther. SYSTEM D BEAM Parameter Value Explanation D Beam Sens 0–127 This sets the D Beam controller’s sensitivity. The higher the value set, the more readily the D Beam controller goes to into erect. FILL DOWN PERFORM UP The pedal will trigger a fill-in, and then the previous variation will play (e.g., from MAIN “4” to “3”). Once you reach variation “1,” subsequent presses of the pedal will not change the variation any farther. The pedal will switch to the next Performance (i.e., from PERFORM 001 to 002). D Beam Assignable 1 Type D Beam Assignable 2 Type Refer to “Functions that can be assigned” (p. 35). SYSTEM D BEAM SOLO SYNTH Refer to “Solo Synth Parameters” (p. 34). Pedal Assign PERFORM DOWN FAV PERFORM UP FAV PERFORM DOWN The pedal will switch to the previous Performance (i.e., from PERFORM 002 to 001). The pedal will switch to the FAVORITE Performance of the next number or bank (e.g., from FAVORITE PERFORM BANK 1-1 to 1-2). The pedal will switch to the FAVORITE Performance of the previous number or bank (e.g., from FAVORITE PERFORM BANK 1-2 to 1-1). SYSTEM MIDI Parameter Value Explanation MIDI Tx Switch Upper Tx Channel Lower Tx Channel MIDI Rx Switch OFF, ON 1–16 1–16 OFF, ON Refer to “MIDI Parameters” (p. 44). FAV TONE UP The pedal will switch to the FAVORITE Tone of the next number or bank (e.g., from FAVORITE TONE BANK 1-1 to 1-2). Upper Rx Channel Lower Rx Channel 1–16 1–16 Pedal Polarity FAV TONE DOWN STANDARD, REVERSE The pedal will switch to the FAVORITE Tone of the previous number or bank (e.g., from FAVORITE TONE BANK 1-2 to 1-1). Switches the polarity of the pedal connected to the CONTROL PEDAL jack. Some pedals will operate in the opposite of the expected way when you press them. If you’re using this type of pedal, set this parameter to “REVERSE.” If you’re using a <strong>Roland</strong> pedal (without a polarity switch), use “STANDARD.” Tx Tx Pitch Bend Tx Modulation Tx Program Change Tx Clock Tx Start- Stop OFF, ON OFF, ON OFF, ON OFF, ON OFF, ON Refer to “MIDI Parameters” (p. 44). Hold Polarity STANDARD, REVERSE Switches the polarity of the pedal connected to the HOLD PEDAL jack. (See “Pedal Polarity,” above) Tx Song Position OFF, ON 47
