Chapter 5 Setting/Changing Sounds (Patches)
Using the Expression Pedal
By using the expression pedal (EXP pedal) attached to the
GR-33, you can add various effects to synth sounds. You can
choose from among eighteen effects that can be controlled
with the EXP pedal, including pitch, volume, arpeggiator
tempo and the like.
You can also use the EXP pedal for sending MIDI data for the
selected control change number. All of the above settings can
be saved in patches.

Variations that can be selected for EXP PEDAL
Volume:
Adjusts the volume level, from zero up to the level set with
the GK-2A's volume knob.
Volume 1st (1st Tone Volume):
Controls the volume of the 1st tone only. In patches using
both tones, you get the effect of the 1st tone being added to
the 2nd.
Volume 2nd (2nd Tone Volume:
Controls the volume of the 2nd tone only. In patches using
both tones, you get the effect of the 2nd tone being added to
the 1st.
Balance:
Changes the volume balance between the 1st and 2nd tones.
With the pedal all the way up (back), only the 1st tone is
heard, and when pressed completely down (forward), only
the 2nd tone plays.
Tone Param (tone parameter):
Modifies the parameters that are specific to the selected tone.
The change will depend on the selected tone.
Multi-FX Param (multi-effect parameter):
Modifies the parameters that are specific to the selected
multi-effect. The change will depend on the selected multi-
effect type.
*
After selecting "Multi-FX Pparam," you may notice a slight
noise as you move the EXP pedal---this is not a 111111f1111ctio11.
Brightness:
Creates a continuous change to the brightness of the synth
sound.
Wah (Wah Pedal):
Creates a guitar wah-wah-like effect, adding that
characteristic sow1d to the patch's tones.
Pitch:
While preserving the structure of a chord, changes the pitch
of the synthesizer's sound. With the pedal back, the sound
plays at its normal pitch. The width of the pitch change is
controlled by the change width setting selected for Pedal
Effect mode's GLIDE TYPE.
~
For the "GLIDE TYPE" settings, refer to "Selecting Pitch
Glide Type (GLIDE TYPE)" (p. 44).

Changes the depth of vibrato applied to the synth sound,
from zero to maximum change. (The speed of the vibrato
depends on the predetermined setting for the tones.)
