Chapter 4 Five Basic Modes
The three main modes of the GR-33 allow you to:
• Select tones and perform “Play mode”
• Get effects such as wah or hold using the pedal on the
base module “Pedal Effect mode”
• Create and modify patches, and write them into memory
“Patch Edit mode”
• Establish settings for the entire GR-33 “System mode”
• Adjusting the tuning “Tuner mode”
How buttons, dials, and knobs work varies depending on the
mode you are in.
Play Mode
In Play mode, the buttons and dials work as follows:
[BANK/PARAMETER] Button
Moves you forward and back through patch banks.
[PLAY] Button
Has no function in this mode.
[SYSTEM] Button
Switches to System mode (settings for the GR-33 itself).
[TUNER] Button
Switches to Tuner mode (p. 18).
[WRITE] Button
Writes the contents of a patch (p. 36).
[COMMON] Button
Switches to Patch Edit mode, COMMON (overall patch
settings).
[TONE] Button
Switches to Patch Edit mode, TONE (sound-related patch
settings).
[EFFECTS] Button
Switches to Patch Edit mode, EFFECTS (effect-related patch
settings).
[STRING SELECT] Button
Has no function in this mode.
[OUTPUT SELECT] Button
Changes the output device selection (p. 19).
[PATCH/VALUE] Dial
Moves forward and back through patches (p. 23).
* If the “DIAL FUNCTION” is set to “VALUE Only,” this
will be ignored.
Pedal 1–4
Switches patches (p. 22).
Expression Pedal
Changes the value of the selected parameter (p. 47).
GK-2A [S1]
While this is held down, pedal workings can be changed (p.
22, 29). (TUNER, GROUP ▲, BANK ▲, BANK ▼)
GK-2A [S2]
Switches to Pedal Effect mode (p. 26).
External Bank Shift Pedal
For switching patch banks.
(This does the same thing as BANK ▼ and BANK ▲).
When “S1/S2 FUNCTION” is Set to “Patch
Select”
When “S1/S2 FUNCTION” is set to “Patch Select,” use
the GK-2A’s [S1] and [S2] buttons to move up and down
through the patches. Operation of the following buttons
will differ from normal Play mode as follows.
* Buttons and dials not listed here will function the same
way as in normal Play mode.
Pedal 1–4
Function as in Pedal Effect mode (p. 31).
GK-2A [S1]
Advances through patches.
GK-2A [S2]
Goes back through patches.
External Bank Shift Pedal
Goes forward and back through patches.
When you want to check something by listening to
patches played in order— or want to toggle between a
pedal effect such as hold, and a patch—this is a
convenient way to do so without having to switch
modes. With PATCH INC/DEC BY S1/S2 selected,
patch numbers are shown in the display, with “PdL”
appearing about once every four seconds.
