Selecting the Controller Used to
Control the Hold Function (HOLD CTL)
1. Press [GUITAR TO MIDI].
The GUITAR TO MIDI screen appears.
2. Press [F5] (SYSTEM).
3. Use [F1] (SELECT) or the F1 knob to select the
controller you want to set.
Controllers to which HOLD CTL is assigned are enabled
simultaneously with parameters set in the SYSTEM
CONTROL ASSIGN settings (p. 167). Set CONTROL
ASSIGN to OFF if you want to use only the Hold
function.
You can select the way the Hold function operates. For
more details, refer to “Selecting How the Hold
Functions (HOLD TYPE)” (p. 69).
Thinning Out Bend Messages (BEND
THIN)
Vibrato, slides, and other such data in guitar performances are
output as Pitch Bend messages.
For this reason, the receiving MIDI device may encounter problems
with operation when Pitch Bend messages containing large amounts
of data are included.
You can use the BEND THIN function to thin out the Pitch Bend
messages and control the volume of MIDI data.
1. Follow Steps 1–2 in “Selecting the Controller
Used to Control the Hold Function (HOLD
CTL)” (p. 65) to display the GTR TO MIDI
screen.
2. Set the function to ON with [F2] (OFF/ON) or
the F2 knob.
Select OFF when you do not want to reduce the amount of
data transmitted in the Pitch Bend messages.
