By pressing the four pedals after changing modes,
you can turn on and off the Arpeggiator (and
Harmonist) function, and get effects like synth sound
hold and wah pedal.
This status is called Pedal Effect mode, and along
with the Play mode, is commonly used in perfor-
mances.
<How to Switch to the Pedal Effect Mode>
1. Turn the PARAMETER SELECT dial to any posi-
tion other than PATCH INC/DEC BY S1/S2.
2. Press [S2] on the GK-2A to change to Pedal Effect
mode; this change will be indicated by “PdL”
(Pedal) flashing in the display.
<<fig. 3-1>>
➼
Press either [S1] or [S2] on the GK-2A to return to the
Play mode.
Even if the same pedal is pressed, the amount of effect
will differ form patch to patch. These can be changed
to suit a song, or for another particular purpose, and
can be saved to the patch.
For more information about each function, and how
to change the amount of effect, please see Chapter 7
(p. 45—48).
Getting the Same Effect
While in Play Mode
Even in the Play mode, when you turn the PARAME-
TER SELECT dial to PATCH INC/DEC BY S1/S2 to
allow selection of patches using the buttons on the
GK-2A, the four pedals automatically function as they
would in Pedal Effect mode. (Under these conditions,
“PdL” will appear once during about four seconds,
indicating that pedal effects are available.)
For more information about these procedures please
refer to p. 18.
✽
With the exception of the arpeggio latch hold (p. 53)
pressing more than one pedal the same time may result
in abnormal action, so please exercise due caution.
