No synth sounds are heard when
the guitar is played
If the unit’s volume knob turned down too low?
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
Is the volume on the GK-2A turned down too low?
Is the GK-2A’s selector switch set to GUITAR?
Set the switch to SYNTH or MIX, and adjust the
volume to an appropriate level.
Has the expression pedal assigned with the
Volume function been returned to its raised posi-
tion?
Depress the expression pedal.
Has neither the first nor second tone been selected
for the Layer setting?
Assign the first (or second) tone to each of the
strings (p. 34).
Is the “PATCH LEVEL” setting too low?
Adjust the setting to an appropriate level (p.
36).
Is the Polyphonic Receive function (p. 82) being
used?
In this case, the GR-30 is unconditionally set to
“local control off” and stops producing sounds
in the normal manner. (However, MIDI mes-
sages can be sent and received.)
The pitch stays the same even
when the Master Tune setting is
changed
The only sounds that immediately change in pitch
when the GR-30’s Master Tune setting is changed
are synth sounds controlled by an external MIDI
instrument. Except when the patch “CHROMAT-
IC” setting is set to a value from “on1” to “on3”,
synth sounds controlled by the guitar follow the
guitar’s actual pitch, regardless of the Master Tune
setting.
After making the Master Tune setting (p. 15),
use the built-in tuner to retune the guitar (p. 15)
and ensure that all pitches (including the guitar)
are in tune.
The Layer setting is correct, but one
tone is not heard
Is “1:2 BAL” set too much to the first tone or the
second tone?
Adjust the setting to obtain a suitable balance.
Has the expression pedal assigned with tone bal-
ance been depressed (or returned to its raised posi-
tion)?
Try operating the expression pedal or assigning
a different function (p. 49).
Volume fluctuates for some strings
Are the PICKUP SENS settings correct for each
string?
Adjust the settings as required (p. 14).
Pitch doesn’t rise when using Pitch
Glide (or the expression pedal Pitch
function)
Functions that vary pitch continuously may experi-
ence a limited range of change during rising pitch
due to the tone or register.
If a limitation is encountered, use with a nar-
rower width of change (p. 46).
The sound change produced by an
expression pedal varies from one
tone to another
For some of the 384 tones, the way the effect is
applied varies subtly from the usual case when the
Brightness or Wah-Wah function is assigned.
Actually assign the function and check in
advance how the effect is applied (p. 49).
The way modulation is applied
varies from one tone to another
when using the unit’s pedal effect
or expression pedals
Each tone has an independent setting for the speed
of undulations in pitch when using modulation.
Check the undulations in advance and choose
a tone with an undulation speed that matches
the song.
