Muting and Soloing Song Tracks

On the PART VIEW button’s SONG TRACK screen, you can

•mute any track—to silence it without erasing the track, or

•solo any track—to isolate it by temporarily silencing all other tracks.

To

• mute a track—cursor to the track’s MUTE switch and turn the VALUE dial to turn the switch on.

• solo a track—cursor to the track’s SOLO switch and turn the VALUE dial to turn the switch on.

Mixing Songs in Version 2

When it’s time to mix your song, press PART VIEW repeatedly until you see the SONG MAKEUP screen.

The SONG MAKEUP screen shows eight parts at a time. To see Parts 9-16, press the 4 button. Press 3 to get back to the first eight.

Each part’s five SONG MAKEUP parameters are presented in a vertical strip— press 6 to reveal the fifth parameter. Select any parameter, and then turn the VALUE dial to set it as desired. Here’s what the parameters do:

•TONE—selects the part’s sound, as we’ve noted.

•EXPRESS—sets the amount of MIDI Expression for the part. Expression is a secondary volume control for the part.

•PANPOT—sets the left/right position of the part’s tone in the stereo mix, or its “panning.”

•REVERB—adds global reverb to the part’s tone.

•CHORUS—adds global chorus to the part’s tone.

If you’d like, you can also mute or solo and part here. To

•silence a part—turn on its MUTE switch.

•isolate a part by silencing all of the other parts—turn on the part’s SOLO switch.

To use the Upper area of the keyboard for playing along with your song, select Part 4 on the SONG TRACK screen. To use the Lower part, select Part 11. You can mix the Upper and Lower keyboard parts in with your tracks by pressing PART VIEW until the PERFORM MIXER screen appears. The song PERFORM MIXER screen offers LWR (“Lower”) and UPR (“Upper”) level controls and Mute and Solo switches for the GW-8 keyboard.

Saving Songs in Version 2

Don’t forget to save a song to a USB stick before turning off the GW-8 or selecting a different song—if you don’t, the song will be permanently cleared from the GW-8’s memory. When you save a song, all of its track data, MFX settings, and SONG MAKEUP screen settings are saved with the song.

To learn how to save a song, see Page 29 of the GW-8 Owner’s Manual, or Page 30 of the GW-8 Version 2 Supplementary Manual.
