Setting the Feeling of the Performance (PLAY FEEL)

With guitars, in contrast to keyboards and similar instruments, the vibrating strings are touched directly, giving the player the ability to exert subtle control over the dynamics. To realize most faithfully this aspect of the guitar, you need to set a “performance response” for each patch that is appropriate both for the way the instrument is being played, as well as the sounds that are used.

These parameters are controlled by “PLAY FEEL.” For example, you can get more natural dynamic expression by changing PLAY FEEL according to whether you are playing the strings with your fingers or using a pick.

1.Turn the PARAMETER knob to “PLAY FEEL.”
