Setting the Feeling of the
Performance (PLAY FEEL)
With guitars, in contrast to keyboards and similar
instruments, the vibrating strings are touched directly,
giving the player the ability to exert subtle control over the
dynamics. To realize most faithfully this aspect of the guitar,
you need to set a “performance response” for each patch that
is appropriate both for the way the instrument is being
played, as well as the sounds that are used.
These parameters are controlled by “PLAY FEEL.” For
example, you can get more natural dynamic expression by
changing PLAY FEEL according to whether you are playing
the strings with your fingers or using a pick.
1. Turn the PARAMETER knob to “PLAY FEEL.”
