Roland VG-99 Workshop Manual page 7

The goal is to adjust the LOW and HIGH parameters to achieve the
most natural sound before the piezo pickup is processed by the VG-99's
modeling and effects. You can do far more dramatic tonal adjustments
later using the VG-99's various patch and global EQ controls. To start,
we'd recommend leaving the LOW and HIGH parameters at 0. After
working with VG-99's processing a bit, you can always go back and
tweak them later if you feel it's necessary.
That's it—press EXIT twice to return to the Play screen, or move on to
15
the next section to name the GK Setting.
The Play screen is the VG-99's "home" screen. It's the screen that's
displayed after the VG-99 finishes its power-up sequence. You'll
usually want to return to the Play screen when you're done editing
any VG-99 functions.
