PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS

This section shows and explains all of the controls and terminals of the GW50. Since

the explanations below are fairly brief, you should turn to the page references given

for more information on individual buttons and features.

A few general comments:

■Some of the buttons described below must be

pressed together to call up a certain function.

These are indicated either by a “+” mark (for

example, “[SHIFT] + [SUB PARAM]”), or by

the word “with” (for example, “With

[SHIFT]:”).

■Markings for three of the panel controls which

are used simultaneously with another control —

SHIFT

CHORD

and

(for the ASSIGN-

ABLE Block Pedal Switch) — are enclosed in a

border which indicates the direction(s) in which

their companion controls can be found. For

example, the

CHORD

mark points to the right,

indicating that the settings below the buttons on

the right can be selected by simultaneously

pressing

CHORD

and the appropriate button.

■Also, keep in mind that the function which is

enabled — simultaneously holding down

SHIFT

CHORD

, and pressing that

button — is always printed below the button.

■The buttons whose primary functions are indi-

cated in boxed titles above each button

([MANUAL], [MEMORY] and [SONG/PAT-

TERN]) are referred to as the “mode buttons”

and can be conveniently used as exit buttons to

“escape” from most in-progress operations

(such as Copying, Naming, MIDI Bulk

Transmission, etc.).

■All controls that are used to increase or de-

crease values feature continuous and rapid

operation, to let you more quickly and easily

reach a desired value. With the [–]/[+] buttons,

hold down one button to continuously move

through the values and, while holding down

that button, press the other to increase the

speed. Releasing the second button returns to

normal speed. With Pedal Switches 1 and 2

(when used for [–]/[+] control) and the Position

Control buttons (<, >, etc.), holding down the

appropriate control moves through the values

with increasing speed.
