When you’re on stage and need to change guitars, go
into the Edit mode and change the “GUITAR
SELECT” setting to the number of guitar you want to
use. The sensitivity setting that you made earlier is
called up when you return to the Play mode.

Terminating Transmission of the MIDI Controller No. 7 (Volume)
Control Change No. 7 is used not only for sending the
status of the GK-2A’s volume knob, but also for the
“SYNTH - MIX - GUITAR” selector switch.
However, you may occasionally encounter a MIDI-
capable effects processor which cannot be set to
ignore volume control by Control Change No. 7.
This is a point that requires attention, because when
the GR-30 has been hooked up with MIDI cables for
the use as an external effects processor for guitar
sounds, setting the selector switch on the GK-2A to
“GUITAR” in such cases may mute out even the gui-
tar sound, not just the synth sound.
When using the GR-30 in combination with this kind
of effects processor, follow the steps below to stop the
GR-30 from sending Control Change No. 7.
1. Switch off the power, then turn it back on while
holding down (depressing) pedal 2. When “PG#”
is displayed, press pedal 1 to make “7.on” appear
on the display.
2. Press [-] to change to “7.oF.” (To return to the
original setting, press [+] at this screen.)
3. Press [EDIT/PLAY] to return to normal operation
(the Play mode).
This stops the transmission of Control Change No. 7
from MIDI OUT, eliminating the problem described
above.
✽
This also terminates transmission of Control Change
No. 7 messages for other volume-related control, so this
setting should not be changed except when necessary.
Please note that once transmission has been stopped, the
setting is automatically stored in memory and transmis-
sion remains stopped even after the power has been
turned off, unless you return the setting to “7.on” or
restore system-related settings to their default values (p.
81).
