Introduction
What is a
Tone
On the GW-7, each of the sounds you normally play is called a
“Tone.” If we use the analogy of an orchestra, a Tone
corresponds to an instrument played by one of the musicians.
Settings for parameters such as effects and filters are also
included in a Tone.
What is
Backing
”Backing” refers to the automatic accompaniment functionality
of the GW-7.
What is a
Music Style
A “Music Style” is a musical template used by a Backing. The
GW-7 contains a variety of music styles such as rock, dance,
Latin, and jazz. You can also add style data by connecting the
GW-7 to your computer via USB. (p. 24)
You can’t create music styles using the GW-7 itself; you’ll need
to use the built-in styles provided by the GW-7, or load
commercially available style data.
What is a
Performance
A “Performance” is a group of settings that specifies the Tone
and Style, the keyboard mode, and various other parameters.
What is a
Song
The GW-7 contains a 16-track recorder, which you can use to
record the music you play. You can add a Backing to the
performance you play on the keyboard, and save the result as a
Song. You can also load Song data from a computer connected
to the GW-7 via USB. (p. 24)
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.
Connecting External Equipment
You can record your playing (or a song recorded on the GW-7) onto
a cassette tape or other audio recording device. Connect the
OUTPUT
jacks on the GW-7’s rear panel to the input jacks of your
external device.

Connecting a Pedal and Switch
You must switch off the GW-7’s power before you connect a
pedal and/or switch.
Connect a separately available pedal switch (Roland DP Series) to
the
HOLD PEDAL
jack on the rear panel. You can use this pedal
switch to sustain notes even after taking your hands off the
keyboard.
Connect a separately available pedal switch (Roland DP Series), a
separately available foot switch (Boss FS-5U) or separately available
expression pedal (Roland EV-5) to the rear panel
CONTROL PEDAL
jack. You can use this to control various functions that you assign. (p.
25)
Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
