(Guitar and Synthesizer
Point
i - Combination
with the Guitar
When the GK - 2 switch is set to "MIX", both guitar und synthesizer sounds will be heard tc
Both guitar and synthesizer sound at once.
1n this mode, the following effects are possible:
OUNISON
(guitar and synthesizer)
Select organ or lead synthesizer sounds, and then distort the straight guitar sound with an external
effector or amp. The idea is to reproduce the unison effects of keyboard and guitar, like those used by
hard rock and fusion bands of the "70s.
H the synthesizer sound is set to be a perfect fourth below the guitar noie (Note Shift set to -5), you
will create a distinctive sound quality. You might also try setting it one octave higher or lower (see
Section 4, 72. Trasposing Synth Notes" (er P, 4-5).

Heard Later
String sounds (and synthesizer pad sounds), in which the sound rises slowly, combined with guitar
chords, make it possible to have the guitar echoed and surrounded by the synthesizer sound after
delay. This effect is suited to internal Original Tones number 60, 84 and 166. It creates interesting
effects with long reverb and shallow chorusing. lt is also effective to extend Jong notes.
O Multiple guitar
effects
Using Original Tones like electric Sitar (no. 37), acoustic guitar (no. 23) and Banjo (no. 36). it is
possible to use the guitar sound (without distortion) to generate a sound like a string ensemble. If the
GR - { settings are detuned slightly, the ensemble effect will be enhanced (for the detuning procedure,
refer to Section 4, "4, A little more detail about editing IsU2nd Tone setting" ( c7 P. 4-13).
This is very effective for arpeggios.
[ ]Sounding
the Synthesizer
Only When
the Guitar
is
Played
Hard
While a bit special, one application is Io use the velocity mix function to generate synthesizer sounds
only when you play your guitar hard.
The Original Tone you want to use is allocated to the Patch's 2nd Tone. Next, use the procedure
outlined in Section 4, "5. Other Patch Editing Settings" (<> P. 4-18) to set the 1s/2nd combination to
velocity mix. Rotate the Ist/2nd balance knob completely to the 2nd side to mute the Ist Tone output.
With this setting. only the straight guitar sounds will be hea d. but when the guitar is played bard, the
synthesizer i2nd Tone) will mix in.
if you select the explosion sound. for example, as your 2nd Tone, you will be able to produce un
explosion in the middle of a solo by playing hard!
