Yamaha G50 User Manual
9
Before actually playing your MIDI guitar it might be a
good idea to adjust the G50 input gain for each string.
This will ensure optimum sensitivity so that picking
nuances will not be lost, while at the same time avoiding
wrong pitch detection.
You may have to re-adjust the input levels if you change
the string height on your guitar, or switch to a different
type of strings.

2. Play a Single String
Play a single string on the guitar at the loudest level you
will actually be playing it. The number of the string
played will appear on the left side of the display (“1” for
the high E string through “6” for the low E string) and a
number corresponding to the detected level will appear on
the right of the display while the string is being played.
The level values range from “1” (minimum) to “100”
(maximum).

. Adjust the Input Gain
When the string stops playing, or when the [-1] or [+1]
button is pressed, the current input gain setting for that
string will appear in place of the detected peak input gain.
The gain setting is preceded by a “G”, and ranges from
“G1” (minimum gain) through “G50” (maximum gain). If
necessary adjust the input gain via the [-1] and [+1]
buttons until the optimum input gain is achieved.
