Also, if you play with your fingers, the picking
finger may hit the adjacent low string causing
unwanted triggering of the lower string (ex. when
you play the A string, notes on the E string sound),
so it is preferable to use lower input gain settings
(E string) to remedy this problem.

SLP (Slap): Slap mode
Use this mode if you use a slap technique. How-
ever, it is recommended that you mix the direct
bass sound with the synth so that the slap attack
covers up any delay in the triggering of synth
sounds.

● Set the Input Gain (Refer to the G50
owner’s manual: pg. 9)
Under normal playing conditions, the input level
value should be between 20 and 60, playing harder
may increase the level to about 90 or more.
However, the level for the E and B strings may
only reach 80 when played hard.
Even if the input level is set to the above levels,
you may experience double notes, other notes may
sound, or the 5th and 7th fret harmonics may
unexpectedly sound, so the input gain level for
each string should be carefully adjusted. Particu-
larly, the E and B strings should be set to low
levels (5-10).
