Standard Connections - Roland Polyphonic GR-300 Owner's Manual

FEATURES
INDEX
Any
guitarist
can
play the GR-300, using
all
standard guitar
playing techniques, including:
hammering,
glissandos,
harmonics, chopping,
etc.
The GR-300 produces effects
and nuances which
keyboard synthesizers
cannot easily
produce.
To
produce the effect of
the
GR-300, you would
need:
6-octave shifters
+ 6-com pressors
+
6-chorus
machines +
6-distortion units
+
6-phase shifters
+
waw +
etc.

It
is
very easy to
produce
anything
from simple
or
complex
solo
sounds to the
sounds of
a
huge
band
or orchestra. All
major functions are
con-
trolled
with foot switches and require
no
hands.
Smalt,
compact unit (like an effects
box) with
all
electronic-
type
foot-controlled switching
of
major functions;
good
for live
perform-
ance.
Produces stable effects for
all
styles of guitar
playing
which, up
to
now, were
impossible:
hammering,
glissando,
chopping,
etc.
Totally polyphonic:
one
VCO
for
each
string.
Instant
and accurate transposing
to
two
preset pitches.
Duet
switch for
chorus
effect.
Polyphonic distortion for
new
clarity,
even
with chords.

Before
Starting
•
Use
a
transformer to
produce the correct

voltage
if
the
line
voltage
in
your area
does not
match
the value specified
on the
name
plate.
•
Keep away from flourescent lamps, neon
lights,
and high-power transformers as these
