Problems caused by your improper
playing
manner
21
The GR-700
digitally
processes the vibra-
tion
of the
strings
producing
digital
signal
that controls
each
section of the
synthesizer.
This
is
in
other words, even
the string
vibration
inaudible
in
usual
guitar
performance
is
processed. There-
fore
you
may
be
annoyed by unexpected
reaction of the guitar
when
playing.
The
following
are
the possible
symptoms
and
the reasons.
1.
Unstable Pitch
•
You
have played
a
long
tone with
high
fret,
which causes very
weak
string
vibration.
• Right
after
muting.
• You
have played
in
Harmonics
technique.
2.
Correct Pitch
is
not obtained,
•
In
playing
quick phrase, the string
is
picked before
it
touches
a fret.
• You
have picked the string
too hard
in
Harmonics technique.
• You
have played
in
Harmonics
tech-
nique.
3.
Sound
cannot be
muted
• You
have played
Tremolo
or
a
quick
phrase with the 5th
and
6th strings.
(These
strings
are likely
to retain
vibrations longer)
•
You
have repeated an open chord or
a
muteless
stroke.
4.
Irrelevant
sound
is
heard
• You
have touched or
picked
un-
necessary
string.
(In
usual guitar
playing,
it
would not be
audible.)
5.
The sound
is
not heard
• The
vibrating
time
is
short
and
the
pitch
is
ambiguous.
•
You
have not touched or picked the
string
hard enough.
If
you
are
using the Guiter Controller
other
than the
GR-700, the
above
matters
may
be
more
notable.
To
play
in
chromatic,
A=440Hz
tuning
should be
strictly
observed.
