– How to select Tones for Upper and Lower
The GW-8 has 896 Basic (default) sounds, 256 GM2 sounds plus World Bank (localized) sounds
(excluding drum kit sounds). All the Basic sounds are divided into 7 banks (0 to 6). To select a tone,
press the bank sound and turn VALUE dial to choose the tone.
Let’s try some of them:
PIANO BANK
(
Acoustic and Electric Piano)
0001 Rich Grand
: Very rich grand piano sound, with a sweet ambience. Play softly
for mellow sound and hard for bright sound.
0034 SC Pure EP
: Amazing Electric Piano with classic Reverb. Play softly and hard to
listen to the variations in the sound.
KBD/ORGAN BANK
(
Clavinet, Harpsichord, Bell, Mallet, Organ, Accordion and
Harmonica)
0135 VKHold4Speed
: Great Hammond sound with Leslie speaker. Connect a
damper pedal (DP series) to the Hold jack to change the Leslie speed: holding the
damper, you accelerate the speed of Leslie speaker. Without the damper, you have
slow speed.
GUITARS/BASS BANK
(
Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Acoustic, Electric and Synth
Bass)
0162 SC Brt Nylon
: Very real nylon acoustic guitar. Play hard to listen to the “slide”
on the strings.
0188 Searing COSM
: Electric Guitar with wild distortion. Good sound to show the
power of GW-8’s DSP effects.
