Editing With Pg-200 - Roland GR-700 Owner's Manual

b. Editing with PG-200
The optional programmer PG-200 can considerably
simplify the editing operation. The PG-200 works
like the contro! panel of a usual synthesizer, that is,
you can edit the existing patch program or make a
complete new patch from scratch, by actually using
the tangible knobs and buttons.
1) Play Mode
When the GR-700 is in this mode, editing with the
guitar controller is not possible. You need the PG-
200. While you are editing, the '* e " will flash.
2) Edit Mode
Turn the GR-700 to the Edit mode by pressing the
Edit Pedal, then assign the parameter number, and
you can see the current value of the parameter in
the Display ®.

Programmer PG-200
* The function of each parameter and the reaction
of the synthesizer are explained in a table from
page 18 to 24.
* For hook-up, use the 6 pin DIN cable (2.5m) of
the GR-700.
* Also, the PG-200 functions whatever mode the
GR-700 may be set to. (Play, Edit, Manual or
Write).
3) Manual Mode
Pressing the Manual Button on the PG-200 will turn
the GR-700 to the Programmer mode. The Display
Window (B shows [fj]. In this mode, the whole
panel setting of the PG-200 decides the tone color.
That is, now, existing patch program in memory has
nothing to do with your sound synthesis. You make
a new patch from scratch. This mode is cancelled
when you select any other patch program, or a new
program is written.
* The edited patch program, either with the guitar
controller or with the PG-200, cannot be re-
tained unless a proper wiring procedure is taken.
* While editing a parameter with the PG-200, even
if the current set positions of the knobs or
switches are exactly what you desire, change the
position once then return it. Otherwise, the para-
meter data might not be affected by the PG-200
at all, thereby remain unchanged.
