The pitch of the string that is sounding the instant you step on the pedal
is Held. And, no new synth sounds can be generated until you let up on
the pedal, not even if you pick another string. This is great for Holding a
synth note or chord er bass note and then playing some guitar riffs over
the top of it. For this to work, however, you should have the GK - 2 switci
set to MIX.
This is useful if you want to Hold a certain synth note, just as in Type 2,
yet also stari some
new sounds
with the other strings in the usual
fashion.
