around the top of the head-
stock and use the other to
grasp the top of the neck.

Gently push forward and pull
up to remove the headstock.

the basics
how the display works:
the numerical led display usually shows the
current preset number. When the GuItar layer
button is pressed, the led will show the sound
mapped to the GuItar layer for a few seconds,
then revert to the preset number. this func-
tions the same for all the parameter buttons.
additionally, the numerical led display will display
menu and submenu options as well as the pa-
rameter values within those menus.
at the bottom of the display there are six orange led indicators,
each representing a string on the guitar (the left led corresponding
to the low e string, etc.). When a string is struck, or a parameter
for that string is being edited, the matching led will light up.
gUitar and synth layers:
the yrG allows you to select two simultaneous sounds - one for the
GuItar layer and another for the synth layer. both layers can ac-
cess all sounds on the guitar.
pressing the synth button will turn on the synth layer allowing you
to play the GuItar and the synth simultaneously.
this GuItar and synth layer concept can be used creatively by com-
bining different sounds, effects, and other features available on your
you rock Guitar.
there are many parameters that can be adjusted and assigned to
the GuItar and synth layer: zone, volume, pan, effects, transpose,
mIdI channel assign, velocity tables. these are described later in the
advanced menu section.
internal soUnds:
you can play the you rock Guitar® as a stand-alone electronic guitar
by plugging it into an amplifier, headphones, or stereo system.
under the GuItar layer, the yrG <Gen2> features 15 built-in
sampled guitar sounds. see appendix #2
for a list of sounds. more
details available at www.yourockguitar.com.
under the synth layer, the yrG <Gen2> features 15 synthesizer
sounds all of which can be found in appendix #3.
