Setting The Pedal And Switch Functions (Assign) - Roland GI-20 Owner's Manual

The PLAY FEEL settings and their effects
nr: Normal
General picking, thus the standard set-
ting for play.
Fi: Finger picking
The setting for when you want to per-
form with the feeling finger picking
provides. Sensitivity is a little higher
than Normal.
Hd: Hard picking
This setting is for those who pick rath-
er hard, and the sensitivity is a little
lower than Normal.
* When there is a problem with the guitar's arrangement, and
the only places GK-2A/GK-2B's divided pickup can be
installed are too close to the strings, you may be able to
improve the behavior with the settings in each patch.
SF: Soft picking
For picking that is a little weaker. Sen-
sitivity is a little higher than Normal.
tP:Tapping play
When making use of many kinds of
picking techniques, such as tapping
play (or "right-hand play"), pulling-
off, or hammering-on, this setting pro-
vides very stable sound expression.
The range of power that can be ex-
pressed is a bit narrow.
nd: No dynamics
With this setting, no matter how hard
or softly you play, you get uniform
volume and tone. Use this setting with
tones like Synth Lead or Organ when
you want to transmit a feeling without
expression.

Setting the Pedal and Switch
Functions (ASSIGN)
You can assign various functions to an expression pedal (the
optional EV-5) or foot switch (the optional FS-5U) connected
to the GI-20, or to the GK-2A/GK-2B's S1, S2, and GK VOL.
* When connecting a foot switch (the optional BOSS FS-5U) to
the FOOT SW jack, you can use the optional PCS-31
connection cable to connect two foot switches. Only FOOT
SWITCH 1 is operational when just one FS-5U is connected to
the FOOT SW jack.

* Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; optional).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
Always make sure that the power to the GI-20 is turned off
when connecting or disconnecting any foot switch or
expression pedal. Connecting or disconnecting these devices
while the GI-20's power is on may cause malfunction in the
GI-20 or MIDI sound module.
