Roland Polyphonic GR-300 - FEATURES; BEFORE STARTING

FEATURES
Any guitarist can play the GR-300, using all
standard guitar playing techniques, including:
hammering,
glissandos,
harmonics,
chopping,
etc.
The GR-300 produces effects and nuances which
keyboard synthesizers cannot easily produce.

the
GR-300,
you
would
need:
6-octave shifters + 6-compressors + 6-chorus
machines + 6-distortion units + 6-phase shifters
+ waw + etc, + etc. .....
It
is
very easy
to
produce
anything
from
simple
or
complex
solo
sounds
to
the
sounds
of
a
huge
band
or
orchestra.
All
major
functions
are
con-
trolled
with
foot
switches
and
require
no
hands.

Before Starting .....
Use a transformer to produce the correct
line voltage И the line voltage in your area
does not match the value specified on the
name plate.
Keep away from flourescent lamps, neon
lights, and high-power transformers as these
wil! produce high noise levels in the Guitar
Synthesizer.
Avoid the use of this instrument in places
that are dusty, of high temperature or high
humidity.
Clean the control! panel with neutral deter-
gent. Use a soft, dry cloth for the wooden
parts. Do not use solvents such as paint
thinner.

designed to work with the G-303 or G-808
Guitar Controller and will not work with the
GR-500 Guitar Controller.
The length of the sound may be shorter
than normal, or the synthesized sound may
be one octave higher than normal with cer-
tain styles of picking and stopping the strings.
