Version 2 Style Track and Song-Track MFX Effects

In Version 2, the GW-8 MFX (for “multi-effects”) are available for style tracks and song tracks. (The Upper and Lower parts use their own MFX as always.)

The MFX for a style or song is available to all of the style’s or song’s tracks.

Setting Up Style- and Song-Track MFX

The process of setting MFX for your tracks has three steps:

1Selecting the MFX you want to use

2Applying the MFX to the desired tracks

3 Refining the MFX’s settings

Selecting the MFX You Want to Use

1To select an MFX for

•a style track—hold down the STYLE button for a couple of seconds until the STYLE COMPOSER screen is displayed.

•a song track—press the SONG button so it’s lit if it’s not already, and then press the PART VIEW button repeatedly until the SONG TRACK screen is displayed.

2To display the

•STYLE MFX screen—press the GUITAR/BASS•2 button.

•SONG MFX screen—Cursor down to “MFX” and then press the ENTER button.

On this screen you can add MFX to the desired tracks by sending them into the MFX.

You can also set the amount of the MFX to be sent into the GW-8’s global chorus and reverb using the two parameters at the top of this screen.

2To add MFX to a track, cursor down to its MFX switch and

turn the VALUE dial to turn on the switch—at this point you can hear the track going through the MFX when you play the style or song.

If you’d like to play live through the MFX as you tweak it in the next section, select an unused part on the STYLE COMPOSER ZOOM or SONG TRACK screen, send the part to the MFX on the STYLE or SONG MFX SETTING screen, and leave that part selected as you tweak.

Refining the MFX’s Settings

1Press 4 until you return to the STYLE or SONG MFX screen.

2Now that you can hear what you’re doing, you can edit the MFX parameters to taste as described on Page 58 in the Owner’s Manual.
