12G1D [UP]/[DOWN] Button Modes
As described above, the G1D [DOWN] and [UP] buttons
normally function in the same way as the G50 panel [-1]
and [+1] buttons. This, however, is actually just one of
three possible G1D [UP]/[DOWN] button modes.
Memory/Value Mode (“dE”)
The normal G1D [UP]/[DOWN] button
mode in which the [DOWN] and [UP]
buttons function in the same way as the G50
panel [-1] and [+1] buttons.
Program Change Mode (“PG”)
In this mode the G1D [DOWN] and [UP]
buttons cause the G50 to transmit a program
change number to the connected tone
generator, without actually changing the G50 program.
The [DOWN] and [UP] buttons decrement and increment
the program change number, respectively. In this mode
the number shown on the G50 display is the current
program change number, not the number of the selected
G50 program (the G50 program does not change).
Octave Shift Mode (“oc”)
In this mode the G1D [DOWN] and [UP]
buttons shift the pitch of the synthesized
sound down or up in octave steps by a
maximum of two octaves. When this mode is selected the
G50 display shows the current octave: “-2oc” (down two
octaves), “-1oc” (down one octave), “0oc” (no octave
shift), “1oc” (up one octave), and “2oc” (up two octaves).
• The Octave Shift mode display is not affected by the
setting of the “F: Transpose” parameter .
To change the G1D [UP]/[DOWN] button mode first
make sure the G50 is in the PLAY mode, then use the
G50 panel [-1] and [+1] buttons to select the desired
mode while simultaneously holding the G1D [DOWN]
and [UP] buttons: “dE” for the Memory/Value mode,
“PG” for the Program Change mode, or “oc” for the
Octave Shift mode. The abbreviation for the current mode
appears on the G50 display when the G1D [DOWN] and
[UP] buttons are pressed simultaneously.

Playing In the Monophonic Mode
If you do not have a G1D Divided Pickup Unit installed
on your guitar, it is still possible to use the G50 in the
monophonic mode, although some features will not be
available.
To use the monophonic mode, unplug the multi-pin cable
from the G50 DIVIDED input, and connect a standard
guitar cable from your guitar’s output jack to the G50
MONO SYNTH input jack.
■The limitations that apply in the monophonic mode
are as follows:
• Only one note can be played at a time.
• Input gain settings cannot be made for each individual
strings — only all strings at once.
• No string number appears on the display when the
TUNER function is used.
• Neither of the split functions or picking position
parameters are available.
All other operations are the same as described elsewhere
in this owner’s manual.
