2. QUICK DEMO___________________________________________________
The Quick Demo is a way to get the customer interested in a product in less than
60 seconds.
Before you Start
To demonstrate the Roland GC-1 GK Ready Strat you need to connect to a GR-
55, VG-99, or other 13-pin compatible device.
1. Check the condition of the strings and the tuning of the guitar. Strings
should look clean and not corroded.
2. Tune to A440 standard tuning EADGBE. If new strings have been put on
the guitar make sure they are thoroughly stretched before demo so as to
not go out of tune during the demonstration. Ideally the guitar should be
checked to insure it is set up properly.
3. Use a high quality guitar amp, such as a Roland Cube-80XL or other pro
quality guitar amp.
4. Plug the mono output of the 13-pin compatible device into
the clean channel of the amp.
5. Plug in a 13-pin cable into the 13-pin input on the guitar and
the other end of the cable into the 13-pin input of the 13-pin
compatible device.
6. Set the GUITAR/SYNTH MIX toggle switch to [ SYNTH ], and turn the GK
volume knob up to 10.
*IMPORTANT: be sure to set the GK Pickup Sensitivity of the 13-pin device
correctly. Check its manual for specific instructions.
THE QUICK DEMO
1. Turn on the 13-pin compatible device and select a simple factory preset
patch like a piano, flute, or violin, (or just use the first patch to pop up).
2. Play a few single notes to demonstrate how the
Roland GC-1 GK Ready
Strat
can control the device.
3. Use the [ UP ] and [ DOWN ] push buttons to change patches
4. Turn the guitar [ VOLUME ] and [ TONE ] knobs up to 10, switch the
GUITAR/SYNTH MIX toggle to the middle [ MIX ]. Strum a simple chord
and adjust guitar [ VOLUME ] and the GK-2 [ VOLUME ] to demonstrate
the mixing and blending of the volumes for the guitar sound and the synth
sound.
