Chapter 2 Creating Your Own Settings (Patches)
Pd: Patch Down
The patch number decreases each time
the switch is pressed.
Pt: Patch Up/Down
The S1 switch is used for the Patch
Down function and the S2 switch for
the Patch Up function.
ou: Octave Up
All notes are raised an octave each time
the switch is pressed. The pitches can
be raised up to a maximum of two oc-
taves.
* The pitches of notes currently being
played are not altered.
od: Octave Down
All notes are lowered an octave each
time the switch is pressed. The pitches
can be lowered by a maximum of three
octaves.
* The pitches of notes currently being
played are not altered.
oC: Octave Up/Down
The S1 switch is used for the Octave
Down function and the S2 switch for
the Octave Up function.
* If notes transposed using the Octave Up/Down function are
in registers that are unplayable with MIDI messages, the
MIDI messages in the expressable range above or below that
octave are transmitted.
H1: GR Hold 1
The sound being played are held while
the foot switch is pressed.
By holding down the pedal, you can have the synth sound
play without stopping, even as you change the position (the
point at which the stringed is pressed against the guitar
neck) or play discontinuous notes.
However, you cannot play two different sounds from the
same string simultaneously.
H2: GR Hold 2
The sound being played is held the
moment you press the foot switch, and
continues to be held while you hold
the pedal down.
The synth sound is not played during
the hold, allowing you to hold chords
played with the synth sound while you
play the melody using the normal gui-
tar sound.
H3: GR Hold 3
The sound being played is held the
moment you press the foot switch, and
continues to be held while you hold
the pedal down.
Since you can still play the strings that
aren’t being held, it means you can
hold chords played with the fifth and
sixth strings using the synth sound,
while you play the melody with the
first through fourth strings, also using
the synth sound.
* If the hold function is assigned to two foot switches, and both
switches are pressed, the hold function for the foot switch
pressed first takes priority, and the hold function for the foot
switch pressed afterwards does not have any effect.
u1: Glide Up 1/d1: Glide Down 1
When the foot switch is pressed, the

turn to the original pitch.
u2: Glide Up 2/d2: Glide Down 2
When the foot switch is pressed, the
pitch changes continuously up (down)
to a whole tone. Release the pedal to
return to the original pitch.
u3: Glide Up 3/d3: Glide Down 3
When the foot switch is pressed, the
pitch changes continuously up (down)
to a perfect fourth. Release the pedal to
return to the original pitch.
