Yamaha G50 - Manual (Page 12)

9
Before actually playing your MIDI guitar it might be a
good idea to adjust the G50 input gain for each string.
This will ensure optimum sensitivity so that picking
nuances will not be lost, while at the same time avoiding
wrong pitch detection.
You may have to re-adjust the input levels if you change
the string height on your guitar, or switch to a different
type of strings.
■ NOTES
• The normal guitar sound received via either the G1D or
MONO SYNTH JACK is not affected by the input level
settings.
1. Engage the Input Level Adjustment Mode
Press the [INPUT LEVEL] button. The indicator above
the [INPUT LEVEL] button will light.
2. Play a Single String
Play a single string on the guitar at the loudest level you
will actually be playing it. The number of the string
played will appear on the left side of the display (“1” for
the high E string through “6” for the low E string) and a
number corresponding to the detected level will appear on
the right of the display while the string is being played.
The level values range from “1” (minimum) to “100”
(maximum).

3 . Adjust the Input Gain
When the string stops playing, or when the [-1] or [+1]
button is pressed, the current input gain setting for that
string will appear in place of the detected peak input gain.
The gain setting is preceded by a “G”, and ranges from
“G1” (minimum gain) through “G50” (maximum gain). If
necessary adjust the input gain via the [-1] and [+1]
buttons until the optimum input gain is achieved.

4 . Repeat for All Strings
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all strings, then check the
balance between the strings and re-adjust if necessary.
■ NOTES
• If you are using an MU-80 or MU-50 sound module, the
multiple level meters on its display can be used as a handly
level guide (set the “Velocity” parameter to “Wide” see
page 14)
5 . Return to the PLAY Mode
Press the [PLAY] button to return to the PLAY mode
when the input gain for all six strings has been properly
adjusted.

String number Input level value
The ideal input level setting should produce an “oLd”
display only on the slightly louder notes.
When if the sound can be heard as double notes, you have
to readjust the input level to lower.
■ NOTES
• No string number will appear when the G50 is being used in
the monophonic mode, and any gain settings made (as
described in the next step) will apply to all strings.
• The [ ▲ ] and[ ▼ ] buttons can be used to select different
string numbers when there is no input from the guitar.
