Edit Mode - Roland GR-77B Owner's Manual

4. EDIT MODE
Like any usuai synthesizer, the GR-77B has various par-
ameters (44 kinds) which can be edited for sound syn-
thesis. The GR-77B, however, does not feature knobs
or switches on its panel for you to touch or move.
Instead, there are two methods of synthesizing. One is
using the optional programmer PG-800 which works
just like panel controls of a usual synthesizer. Another is
calling each parameter by using the Pedal Switches and
changing its value by using the controls on the Guitar
Controller. For quicker and easier editing or synthesis
from scratch, the PG-800 may be essential.
* This Editing function does not automatically rewrite
the existing program, unless the appropriate proce-
dure for rewriting (see page 24 ) is done.
a. Editing with PG-800
The optional programmer PG-800 can considerably sim-
plify the editing operation. The PG-800 works like the
control panel of a usual synthesizer, that is, you can edit
the existíng patch program or make a complete new
patch from scratch, by actually using the tangible knobs
and buttons.
* For hock-up, use the 6 pin DIN cable (2.5m) of the
PG-800.
The Programmer PG-800 functions when the GR-
77В is in the Play or Edit mode.
