MIX OUT Jack
L-MIXOUT-R/PHONES (PHONES)
The output of the synthesizer is sent out here.
Ordinarily, two cables are plugged into the L and R
jacks, and the signal is then sent to a stereo amplifier
(p. 12).
Furthermore, since both of the L and R jacks accept
standard stereo plugs, they can also be used as two
headphone jacks. (However, note that the left and
right output of the R (PHONES) jack are reversed.
Also be aware that you cannot simultaneously use
one jack as a LINE OUT while using the other as a
headphone jack.)
When there is nothing connected to the GUITAR OUT
jack, the sound of the guitar itself is also mixed into,
and sent out with this output.
✽
In order to have the sound of the factory-installed patch-
es play correctly, use a stereo amplifier or stereo head-
phones if at all possible. If you must use monaural head-
phones, please be sure to turn the unit on while pressing
Pedal 1 at the left of the base module. (p. 13)
GUITAR RETURN Jack
When using the GUITAR OUT jack (the following
item) as an external guitar effect send, use this jack for
the return signal from the external effect (p. 13). With
a single-input amp, although the synth and guitar
sounds are combined, effect will be applied only to
the guitar.
GUITAR OUT Jack
Use this jack when you wish the guitar output to be
separate from the synth sound. Connect to your own
guitar amp or guitar effects devices.
BANK SHIFT Jack
This jack is especially for connecting a patch bank
expansion foot switch. You can connect two Boss FS-
5U foot switches using a PCS-31 cable (each sold sep-
arately). Expansion foot switches control different
functions in all modes except Play mode. (p. 26—28)
EXP PEDAL (Expression Pedal) Jack
An external pedal (e.g. model EV-5, sold separately)
connected to this jack can be used to carry out a vari-
ety of controlling functions, including synth volume,
tone, interval, Arpeggiator tempo, and so on. (p. 49)
GK IN Connector
Use this special 13-pin branch cable, included with
the GR-30, to connect the GK-2A synthesizer driver
(sold separately).
➼
The original GK-2 can also be used in the same way.
✽
For connection to a commercial guitar which supports a
guitar synthesizer, consult the guitar’s manufacturer or
your dealer.
MIDI Connectors (MIDI IN/OUT)
These connectors are for hooking up an external MIDI
device with a MIDI cable. Use this connection when
you want the base module to control the sounding of
an external sound generator module, or to exchange
tone data when using a MIDI device.
Power Switch
This is the main switch that turns power to the entire
unit on and off.
AC Adaptor Jack/Cord Hook
The AC adaptor included with the GR-30 plugs in
here. Additionally, hanging the adaptor cord on the
cord hook can help prevent the cord from accidentally
being pulled out of the jack while you are playing.
✽
Use ONLY the AC adaptor included with this guitar
synthesizer. (This adaptor differs from those compatible
with the GR-09.)
