THE GW50: WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT CAN DO
The illustration below shows how the Pattern
mode and Song mode are used.
Pattern Mode
In the Pattern mode, individual patterns are played
back and repeated.
Song Mode
In the Song mode, the preset patterns can be strung
together to create a song. Other events, such as
chord changes and muting events, can also be
entered.
WHAT IT CAN DO …
Here are a few ideas on how you can
use your GW50. The list below is in
no way comprehensive, but is meant
to be a starting point or spring-
board for your own creative ideas
and explorations.
■ All-in-one effect unit for
on the stage, in the
studio, or in rehearsal
With its five effect blocks, the GW50 has all you
need to augment your sound, whatever the applica-
tion. Any or all five effects can be used in virtually
any combination as an effect program, and you can
instantly select from 50 different effect programs
as you play. Plus, flexible effect bypass (on/off)
functions give you even more real time control
over the sound.
■ Convenient practice tool
The rhythm, bass and accompaniment patterns of
the GW50 are perfect for playing along with. By
stringing together the rhythm patterns and record-
ing chord changes, you can create and playback
complete songs over which you can practice.
Having the full accompaniment behind you is a
much more inspiring and exciting way of
practicing than using just a metronome.
■ Sketchpad for composing and
arranging
The accompaniment features can also be used to
help you flesh out your own musical ideas. With
the wealth of chords (a total of 25 different chord
types for each of the 12 keys) and the convenient
editing features, the GW50 makes it exceptionally
easy to quickly turn your inspirations into complete
songs. Plus, the extraordinarily realistic sounds
give you the tools to present polished versions of
your ideas to others.
Now that you have a basic idea of how the GW50
can help you in your music, go on to the GUIDED
TOUR (TUTORIAL), and learn how to set up and
use your GW50.
