Chapter 2 Creating Your Own Settings (Patches)
Setting the Bend Range
1. Turn the PARAMETER knob to “BEND RANGE.”
fig.02-38
2. Press [TUNER (STRING)] to select the string whose
bend range you want to change.
The string number changes each time you press [TUNER
(STRING)], cycling through ALL → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5
→ 6 → ALL...
Select “ALL” if setting all of the strings to the same
value.
3. Press [PATCH/VALUE] to change the value.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for any other strings you want to
set.
5. If you want to save the settings, carry out the Write
procedure (p. 26).
* If you do not want to save the settings, turn the
PARAMETER knob to return to “PLAY MODE.”
6. When you have finished making the settings, turn the
PARAMETER knob to return to “PLAY MODE.”
Settings That Can Be Selected With
BEND RANGE
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 24
One of the above values is selected (1 =
semitone, 12 = one octave)
* You cannot select 24 when BEND
RANGE MAX (p. 32) is set to 12.
With the GI-20, you can select “Chromatics” for the bend
range. When the Chromatics (C1–C3) are selected, if you use
string bending or other techniques that bend the guitar or
bass pitch, the changes in pitch transmitted in the MIDI mes-
sages are made in semitone steps.
*A BEND RANGE value of 12 or 24 is transmitted when the
chromatics are selected.
refer to “BEND RANGE MAX” (p. 32)
C1: Chromatic Type 1
When the pitch changes, the currently-
heard sound will not stop; it will mere-
ly change in pitch. There is no separate
attack sound when the pitch changes.
This is a change similar to the one you
hear with the slurred playing of a re-
corder.
C2: Chromatic Type 2
When the pitch changes, the sound for
the new pitch will be started over, or
“retriggered.” Thus, whenever the
pitch changes, you will hear a new at-
tack. If the retrigger occurs as a string’s
vibration is trailing off (decaying), the
retriggered note will play at an appro-
priately reduced volume.
C3: Chromatic Type 3
This is basically similar to “Type 2,”
but differs in that the attenuation of the
string's vibration is not reflected in the
retriggered sound; instead, the retrig-
gered sound is the same as that when
the string was played originally.
(Ex.) 12 (1 octave)
