Casio PG-380 - Octave Pitch Adjustment; Chromatic Mode Performance

Raising/Lowering
Preset/MIDI Sound
Octaves
By using the octave keys, you
can raise or lower the octave of
preset tones. These keys can also
be used to raise or lower the
pitch of MIDI sounds when us-
ing the PG guitar as a MIDI
controller.
Normal and
Chromatic
Performance
Using the Chromatic key, you
can select from either the normal
performance or chromatic
performance.
In the normal status (when the
Chromatic key indicator is not
lit), you can bend the notes of
preset/MIDI sounds in the same
way that you bend normal guitar
sounds. In the chromatic status
(when Chromatic key indicator is
lit) preset/MIDI sounds bend
only chromatically — half tone
increments.

pitch by one full octave, press
the octave up key.

Chromatic
performance
In the normal status (Chroma-
tic function “OFF” condition),
the pitch of a note played
varies slightly according to how
you depress the guitar string.
This is normal for “guitar” or
other string sounds, but when
you want to reproduce the
sound of chromatic instruments
such as vibraphone, xylophone
or even piano, the chromatic
function lets you play exactly
in tune — for totally realistic
reproduction using the preset
tones,
Naturally, the chromatic setting
only effects preset/MIDI
sounds — guitar sounds are
Output just as the strings are
tuned in all cases.
