• When both the first and second tones are present.

a high level.
• When a high volume level is a characteristic of the tone

• When the brightness setting value is high.
• When wah effects are applied.
Changing the Feel of a Performance (PLAY FEEL)
Guitars differ from keyboards and other instruments in that
the part of the instrument that actually vibrates (i.e. the
string) is touched directly, allowing subtle control of the
power with which it is played. To let the guitar synthesizer
make maximum use of this feature, it is necessary to set the
“playing response.”

This selection is made with “PLAY FEEL” in the COMMON

power is in the playing.

The PLAY FEEL settings and their effects
There are eight settings ("Normal,” “Finger,” “Hard,” “Soft,”
“Tapping,” “No Dynamics,” “Envelope1,” “Envelope2"), and
eight settings that add the Accel function to each of these
("Accl Normal,” “Accl Finger,” “Accl Hard,” “Accl Soft,”
“Accl Tapping,” “Accl No Dynamics,” “Accl Envelope1,”
“Accl Envelope2").

eight settings that add the Accel function to each of these
("Accl Normal,” “Accl Finger,” “Accl Hard,” “Accl Soft,”
“Accl Tapping,” “Accl No Dynamics,” “Accl Envelope1,”
“Accl Envelope2").
These meanings are as follows:
Normal:
General picking, thus the standard setting for play.
Finger (finger picking):
The setting for when you want to perform with the feeling
finger picking provides. Sensitivity is a little higher than with
normal picking.
finger picking provides. Sensitivity is a little higher than with
normal picking.
Hard (hard picking):
This setting is for those who pick rather hard, and the
sensitivity is a little lower than with normal picking.
sensitivity is a little lower than with normal picking.
* When there is a problem with the guitar’s arrangement, and
the only places GK-2A’s divided pickup can be installed are too
close to the strings, you may be able to improve the behavior
with the settings in each patch.

with the settings in each patch.
Soft (soft picking):
For picking that is a little weaker. Sensitivity is a little higher
than with normal picking.
than with normal picking.
Tapping (tapping play):
When making use of many kinds of picking techniques, such
as tapping play (or “right-hand play”), pulling-off, or
hammering-on, this setting provides very stable sound
expression. The range of power that can be expressed is a bit
narrow.

No Dynamics (no dynamics):
With this setting, no matter how hard or softly you play, you
get uniform volume and tone. Use this setting with tones like
Synth Lead or Organ when you want to transmit a feeling
without expression.

This is for setting how much the synthesizer volume
influences the amplitude of the strings.
