Panel Descriptions
11 BANK/PARAMETER Button
 
Press these buttons in Play mode to switch patch banks.
In System mode and Patch Edit mode, these buttons 
select the parameter to be adjusted.
 
12 PATCH/VALUE Dial
 
In Play mode, turn this dial to scroll through the 
different patches or tones in order.
In System mode and Patch Edit mode, use this knob to 
adjust parameter values.
 
13 Three-digit Display
 
In Play mode, the three-digit display shows the 
currently selected patch’s number.
In System mode, Patch Edit mode, and Pedal Effect 
mode, this display shows “SYS,” “Edt,” or “PdL,” 
respectively, to indicate the current mode. For 
parameters that can be set independently for each 
string, the display indicates the currently selected 
string’s number.
 
14 Display
 
In Play mode, the main display shows the currently 
selected patch’s name and the current Harmonist/
Arpeggiator status.
In other modes, the display shows the value and status 
of the currently selected item, or “parameter.” Various 
messages also appear on this display.
 
15 Foot Pedal
 
These are four foot-operated switches. In Play mode, 
together with the GK-2A’s “S1,” they primarily switch 
patches. After pressing the GK-2A’s “S2” to go into 
Pedal Effect mode, you can step on a switch to activate 
performance effects such as wah, pitch glide, and hold.
 
16 Expression Pedal
 
Use this pedal to control a variety of things, including 
the volume, tone and pitch of the current synth sound, 
and the arpeggiator tempo.
 
 
When you operate the expression pedal, please be
careful not to get your fingers pinched between
the movable part and the panel.
In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for the
safe operation of the unit.
