Keyboard Mode Functions
The GW-7 contains 657 different Tones. You can use these Tones in
the three keyboard modes (Main, Split, Dual) (p. 9).
1. Press MODE [TONE] so the button is lit.
The Tone memory locations are organized as follows.
2. Turn the VALUE dial to step through the Tones one by one.
Alternatively, you can press one of the ten buttons
[PIANO]–[DRUMS] to select a Tone by category.
You can use SELECT [ ][ ] to step through the categories
one by one.
If, after selecting a Preset tone, you press and hold down (for
approximately two seconds) the category button in which that
tone is registered, that tone will be selected first when you press
the same button the next time. (You can't do this for User tones.)
In Split mode or Dual mode, you can select two Tones
independently. (p. 10)
When [BACKING TRACK] is lit, the left-hand region of the
keyboard will play a string sound and a chord bass sound. If
you don't want these to play, press [BACKING TRACK] so the
illumination is turned off.
The “ Favorite Tone ” function lets you register up to ten Tones
to each of the ten category buttons [PIANO]–[DRUMS],
regardless of the category of the Tone or whether it is a Preset
Tone or a User Tone. For example, if you register the Tones you
use most frequently, you’ll be able to select them quickly in a
live performance situation.
After selecting a Tone, hold down [FAVORITE] and press the
category button (one of the ten buttons [PIANO]–[DRUMS]) in
which you want to register that Tone.
Press [FAVORITE] so the button is lit, and press the category button
(one of the ten buttons [PIANO]–[DRUMS]) in which you registered
the desired Tone.
The last 51 Tones (P607–P657) are called “drum sets.” When you
select a drum set, a different sound is assigned to each note of the
keyboard. For example, the left most key will play a bass drum (kick)
sound, and other keys will play snare drum and other sounds. A
drum set is a collection of ninety or more sounds, each assigned to a
different key.
You can’t select a drum set for the Lower Part of Split mode, nor
as the second Tone in Dual mode.
The GW-7 contains sound effect, drum, and percussion Tones (P543–
P606), and you can assign just one of these Tones to the keyboard
and use it to play a melody. You can use these across the entire
keyboard in Main, Split, or Dual modes.
If you’re using Split mode, you’ll probably want to set the split
point to about
C6 if you’re going to play a sound effect or
percussion sound with your right hand, or to about C3 if you’re
using your left hand.
You can shift the pitch of a Tone upward or downward in steps of an
octave, over a maximum of four octaves upward or downward.
Hold down [SHIFT] and use OCTAVE [ ][ ].
In Split Mode
If [UPPER] is lit, hold down [SHIFT] and use OCTAVE [ ][ ]
to change the octave setting of the Upper Part.
If [LOWER] is lit, this operation will change the octave setting of the
Lower Part.
In Dual Mode
If [UPPER] is lit, hold down [SHIFT] and use OCTAVE [ ][ ]
to change the octave setting of the first Tone.
If LOWER is lit, this operation will change the octave setting of the
second Tone.
