Selecting the Type of Hold
Effect —HOLD TYPE
You can select the type of hold effect you'll get when you
press the HOLD pedal.
1. Press the [HOLD TYPE] button.
2. Usethe [NUMBER/VALUE] knob to change the setting.
H1:
HOLD 1
The notes that were sounding when you
pressed the pedal will be held, and any
notes you play while continuing to press
the pedal will also be held. However, if
you play any notes on a string that was al-
ready sounding, the previous note will
disappear and be replaced by the newly
played note. This lets you smoothly play
notes located at different fret positions.
H2: HOLD 2
The notes that were sounding when you
pressed the pedal will be held as long as
you continue pressing the pedal. Subse-
quent notes that you play while holding
the pedal will not be heard. This lets you
hold a chord using the synth sound, and
play a melody using the guitar sound.
НЗ: HOLD 3
The notes that were sounding when you
pressed the pedal will be held aslong as you
continue pressing the pedal. Subsequent
notes that you play while holding the pedal
will sound but will not be held. (The notes
that you can play afterward are limited to
strings other than those that are being held.)
This lets you hold a chord using the synth
sound on the low notes, and play a melo-
dy on the high notes.
H4: HOLD 4
The notes that were sounding when you
pressed the pedal will be held, and any subse-
quent notes you play while continuing to
press the pedal will also be held. This is the
same behavior as the damper pedal of a piano.
