Chapter 1 Producing Sounds
3. Turn [VALUE] to select Gtr1–Gtr4.
The setting you select will be loaded.
* With the factory settings, this is set to “Gtr1.”
If you wish to create a new input-sensitivity setup, press
[PARAMETER] to select “PICKUP SENS,” and then
adjust the sensitivity settings for the current guitar’s six
strings.
4. After setting each string’s sensitivity, press [PLAY] to
return to Play mode.
Create four different input-sensitivity setups for Gtr1–
Gtr4 to store the sensitivity settings for four different
guitars.
* The last-selected sensitivity setup is the one currently in effect.
Matching Pitches of Other
Instruments
The master tuning (basic pitch) set at the factory for the GR-
33’s sounds and internal tuner is A = 440.0 Hz.
If you need to match the GR-33’s tuning to the tuning of
another instrument—or if you want to change the master
tuning for any other reason—perform the following steps.
■ Changing the Master Tune Setting
1. Press [SYSTEM] to enter System mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “MASTER TUNE.”
fig.1-13
3. Turn [VALUE] to select the desired pitch. The pitch can
be changed to any frequency from 427.4 to 452.6 Hz.
4. Press [PLAY] to return to Play mode.
* The pitch of the synthesizer sound does not change when you
change the GR-33’s Master Tune setting—the synth sound
continues to follow the tuning of the guitar. Therefore, after
adjusting the master tuning, you should use the Tuner
function to re-tune your guitar to the new basic pitch, and the
pitch of the synth sounds will play in the new tuning.
Adjusting the Guitar Tuning
(Tuner Function)
To accurately set a guitar’s pitch, use the GR-33’s built-in
tuner to tune the guitar. This tuner works exactly the same
way other tuners on the market do.
■ Tuning the Guitar
1. While pressing [S1] on the GK-2A, step on the first foot
pedal—[1] (TUNER) —or press [TUNER].
The Tuner function is called up, and the following
appears in the display.

2. Play String 6 on the guitar.
The string number automatically switches to “6.”
The note to which String 6 is currently tuned—notes are
tuned by semitones—is shown in the second position on
the display. (“D#” in the figure shown below.)

3. Turn the string’s tuning peg while playing String 6
until the screen shows the name of the note to which
you want to tune the string.

4. Make fine adjustments to the string’s tuning peg until
the mark illuminated in the display moves to the center
position and both side.
When the center indicator lights, String 6 is tuned
precisely to “E.”
