■ During Normal Play with
Just the GR-30
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
● 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.
