details on “MIDI Control Change Numbers”), but many
are unassigned and can sometimes be assigned to voice or
effect parameters via the synthesizer or tone generator.
The Assignable Control Number 1 and 2 parameters (“M”
and “O”) specify the control number(s) to be transmitted.
The range is from “1” through “31”, “33” through “120”,
or “AF” for After Touch. The Assignable Control Value 1
and 2 parameters (“N” and “P”) specify the control
change value to be sent with the corresponding control
change number: “N: Assignable Control Value 1” speci-
fies the control change value for “M: Assignable Control
Number 1”, and “P: Assignable Control Value 2” specifies
the control change value for “O: Assignable Control
Number 2”. The control value range is from “0” to “127”.
“---” will appear on the display and the parameter will be
unavailable if the corresponding Assignable Control
Number parameter is turned “off”.
M: Assignable Control Number 1
Settings: off, 1 … 31, 33 … 120, AF
N: Assignable Control Value 1
Settings: 0 … 127, ---
O: Assignable Control Number 2
Settings: off, 1 … 31, 33 … 120, AF
P: Assignable Control Value 2
Settings: 0 … 127, ---
These parameters specify one or two MIDI control change
numbers with corresponding values to be transmitted
when the current G50 program is selected. MIDI control
change numbers generally correspond to “controller”
functions such as modulation, sustain pedal, expression,
breath control, etc. Some of the control numbers are
already assigned according to the MIDI specifications
(refer to the owner’s manual of the receiving devices for
Real Time Control
The “Real Time Control” group includes a range of
parameters that enable and define the operation of several
advanced real-time performance features.
Q: Split
Settings: off, Sr1 … Sr5, P1 … P10
The G50 has two “split” modes which allow two different
programs to be played at the same time.
The Picking Position Split settings are “P1” through
“P10”.  Lower values move the split position toward the
bridge and higher settings move the split position toward
the neck. Experiment with the settings to find the ideal split
position.
 String Split
In this mode the two programs are played on different
groups of strings. For example, you could play acoustic bass
on the two lowest strings (5 and 6) while playing organ on
the remaining four strings (1 through 4).
The String Split settings are “Sr1” through “Sr5”. The
number represents the string at which the split occurs. With
the “Sr1” setting, the split occurs between the 1st string
(high E) and the lower 5 strings (2 through 6). With the
“Sr5” setting the split occurs between strings 1 through 5
and string 6. Intermediate settings produce a split between
the corresponding string groups.
 Picking Position Split
In the Picking Position Split mode the split is “horizontal”
rather than “vertical” as in the String Split mode. In other
words, one program is played on the neck side of a certain
point on the string, while the second program is played on
the bridge side of the “split” position. The appropriate
program change number is transmitted whenever the split
point is crossed.
In the split modes the first program is the currently
selected program. The second program is specified by the
“R: Split Memory 2 Number” parameter, below.
No split occurs when this parameter is set to “off”.
If the G50 is being used in the monophonic mode, “---”
appears on the display and this parameter is not available.
Also, the “P1” through “P10” settings are not available
when the “A: Playing Style” parameter is set to “Fin” for
guitar or “SLP” for bass (“---” will appear on the display).
R: Split Memory 2 Number
Settings: 1 … 128, ---
This parameter specifies the second program to played in
the String Split or Picking Position Split mode (see “Q:
Split”, above). The “S: Memory Location” parameter,
below, determines which side of the “split” the second
program is assigned to.
The settings are “1” through “128”, corresponding to the
desired second program number. When the “Q: Split”
parameter is set to “off” (i.e. no split mode is selected),
“---” appears on the display and this parameter is not
available.
