PATTERN MODE

In the Pattern mode, you can select and play rhythm and accompaniment

patterns. There are 248 preset patterns covering a wide variety of musical

styles, and they feature realistic drum, bass and other accompaniment sounds.

Combined with the sophisticated chord controls of the GW50, these preset

patterns provide easy-to-use backing tracks for performing along with.

Note: Unless indicated otherwise, all operations in the Pat-

tern mode covered below can be performed either

while the pattern is stopped or being played.

HINT

PATTERN TYPES—The patterns can be

roughly divided into groups of four types,

each designed to fill a specific role in a song.

The types are indicated by the last one or

two characters in the pattern name:

…A — Basic pattern, used generally for the “A”

part of a song, such as the verse.

…AF — Fill in based on the basic pattern.

…B — Variation pattern, used generally for the “B”

part of a song, such as the bridge or chorus.

…BF — Fill in based on the variation pattern.

To select the Pattern mode, press [SONG/PAT-

TERN] so that the PATTERN LED lights. (The

current pattern name appears in the display.)

IMPORTANT

The operations covered in this section on the

Pattern mode pertain specifically to the Pattern

mode. Make sure that the Pattern mode has been

selected before trying each operation.
