Normally you will use the “Auto-Select” setting.
Setting Explanation
Auto-Select (default)
Either “Internal” or “External” is selected automatically depending on the song that you
play back.
Internal
The tone for the song that plays back and the tone you use when playing the keyboard
are the same. The tone for the song changes when you change the tone on the GP-3.
We recommend this setting when playing the built-in songs.
The damper resonance (*1) eect is applied to the piano tone for the song.
External
A dierent tone can be used for the song that plays back and for the tone you use when
playing the keyboard. The tone for the song doesn’t change when you change the tone
on the GP-3.
We recommend this setting when playing back song les from your computer connected
via USB.
The damper resonance (*1) eect is not applied to the piano tone for the song.
(*1) This refers to the overall resonance of the acoustic piano when its damper pedal is pressed (the sound of other
strings vibrating in sympathy when you press the damper pedal, and the resonance of the entire instrument).
