The
GR-700
is
a
6
voice, fully
programm-
able
guitar synthesizer that
includes
Memory
Capacity

64
different
timbres.
Like a
keyboard
synthesizer,
it
consists
of
DCO, VCF, VCA, ENV,
and
LFO
sections,
and 32
kinds
of
parameters
(elements) are featured to control
each
section.
The GR-700
adopts
a
unique
method
of synthesizing, that
is
editing
the existing patch.
You
are to assign
any
existing patch and
the
relevant
parameter
for editing.
The
Display
Window
shows
the
parameter number
and
the data
value,
so that
you can
quite
easily
proceed
this
editing operation. Moreover,
it
features
Dynamics
function
that controls
the
DCO,
VCF
and
VCA
by
the
intensity of
string picking,
and
the
String
Select
function that allows you
to select
which
of the
strings to
take on
the Hold
or
Pitch
Bender
effect.

(l)Recalling a
Patch
Each timbre
in
memory
has
a
number
(^Memory
Number).
If
you
assign the appropriate number,
the
patch
you want
will
be
recalled ready
to
be
used.
Also, proceeding Writing procedure,
you
can
write
any
existing patch
into
memory.
The
Memory Number
is
the
combination
of a
Bank number
(1
to 8)
and
a
Patch
Number
(1
to
8).
That
is,
each
of the 8
banks
has 8 patches
making 64
in
all.
