Play With The Pedals; Regulate The General Effect Volumes; Transpose The Instrument (Semitones) - GEM WK2 Owner's Manual

Play with the pedals

If you have purchased the optional Generalmusic pedals (volume pedal and footswitch type
pedals), plug them into the jacks on the rear connections panel: Damper, Pedal and Vol-
ume.
The configuration of the pedals is as follows:
• Damper = Damper (sustain)
• Pedal = Switch Upper 1/2, Start/Stop, Fill<, Fill, Fill>, Intro, Ending (program-
mable)
• Volume = Master Volume or Section volume programmable)

Regulate the general Effect volumes

It is possible to regulate the general effect volumes to suit the surroundings.
Although each Performance recalls appropriate effect volume and mixer settings for each
track, a general setting can be applied to render the General Effect Volume more or less
intense with a single command.
1. Press the cursor buttons as many times as necessary until the arrowhead in the display appears
next to the "REVERB" or "CHORUS" functions in the MENU list.
2. Press the PAGE buttons repeatedly to scroll through the 22 Reverb or Chorus effects.
The General Effect Level, shown next to the selected effect, can be regulated with the
DIAL or the + and – buttons of the right hand numeric keypad.
If you store the new settings to the current Performance (with the Store Performance
command), they remain in memory (RAM) after turning off the instrument.

Transpose the instrument (Semitones)

If you are playing a difficult tune that requires the use of several black keys, or a tune that is
too high or too low for a singer or another instrument, you can transpose WK2 to play the
tune in an easier key.
The TRANSPOSE / buttons allow real time semitone adjustments (transpositions) of the
overall pitch (range ± 12 semitones (12 semitones = 1 octave).
1. Press either TRANSPOSE or TRANSPOSE .
The current status of the keyboard transposition is shown at the centre of the display for
about 3 seconds under the TRANSPOSE section in the central part of the display (00
= standard pitch).
2. Press TRANSPOSE b to lower the pitch or TRANSPOSE # to raise the pitch.
Every time you press TRANSPOSE , the display shows a decrease of one semitone.
Every time you press TRANSPOSE , the display shows an increase of one semitone.
Holding either button pressed changes the value continually until the maximum trans-
pose value of +12 or –12 is reached.
Clear the keyboard transpose setting
3 To clear the transpose setting, press both TRANSPOSE buttons simultaneously.
The display returns to the normal setting (00).
