Chapter 9 Connecting to External Sound Generators and Sequencers
Transposing Performance Data for an External Sound
Generator (MIDI [TRANSPOSE])
When using an external sound generator, notes in the bass
(or treble) range not on the guitar can be sent by changing the
COMMON setting “MIDI [TRANSPOSE]” in the Patch Edit
mode to transpose the output from MIDI OUT.
■ Procedure for Setting MIDI [TRANSPOSE]
1. Select the patch whose setting you want to change, and
press [COMMON] to enter Patch Edit mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “MIDI [TRANSPOE].”
fig.9-11
3. Press [STRING SELECT] to select “ALL.”
If you wish to change settings for individual strings,
refer to “Selecting different sounds for each string” (p.
89).
fig.9-12
4. Use [VALUE] to choose the value.
The available range that can be selected in “MIDI
[TRANSPOSE],” by semitone units, is -36 to +24.
5. Press [WRITE] to perform the Patch Write operation (p.
36).
* After performing the Patch Write operation, you will
automatically return to Play mode.
* If you don’t want to save the Patch, press [PLAY] to return to
Play mode.
What to do if an External Module Doesn’t Produce Sound as Expected
If the external sound generator doesn’t play as expected,
double-check the following items.
• Do the MIDI channels for sending and receiving match?
(p. 86)
• Make sure the volume level on the external sound
generator has not been lowered by sending a MIDI
Volume message been sent because of operation of
expression pedal volume.
• Make sure the volume on the GK-2A or the expression
pedal has not been turned down too low.
• Has the GK-2A select switch been set to “GUITAR”?
• Make sure that a sound generator which cannot
simultaneously receive six MIDI channels is receiving
data from the GR-33 in the Mono mode (p. 88).
* If the pitch sounds out of tune with the guitar, check “BEND
RANGE.” (p. 86)
* If “BEND RANGE” has been set to “0,” the pitch will change
in semitone.
* When transmitting in the Poly mode, pitch changes during
chord performances are in semitone (p. 86).
