Band Mode

Use

keys to access the band submenus. The submenus will change depending on whether you select MP3/WAV or MIDI in the first menu.

G-DEC 3 is factory-loaded with high quality audio loop content in MP3 and Wav format, and you can store and play back your own files of these

types. An internal synthesizer also allows playback of user-generated MIDI files. MIDI playback may be desirable to users who desire the widest

range of pitch and tempo settings.
