+ etc...... It Is very easy to produce anything from simple or complex solo sounds to the sounds of a huge band or orchestra. All major functions are controlled with foot switches and require no hands. • Small, compact unit (like an effects box) with all electronic-type foot-controlled switching of major functions; good for live performance. • Produces stable effects for all styles of guitar playing which, up to now, were impossible: hammering, gllssando, chopping, etc. • Totally polyphonic: one VCO for each string. • Instant and accurate transposing to two preset pitches. • Duet switch for chorus effect. • Polyphonic distortion for new clarity, even with chords. • Synthesizer ON/OFF for each string.

Use a soft, dry cloth for the wooden parts. Do not use solvents such as paint thinner. • The GR-300 Guitar Synthesizer has been designed to work with the G-303 or G-808 Guitar Controller and will not work with the GR-500 Guitar Controller. • The length of the sound may be shorter than normal, or the synthesized sound may be one octave higher than normal with certain styles of picking and stopping the strings. 2 STANDARD CONNECTIONS GUITAR CONNECTIONS Connect the G-303 or G-808 as shown in the drawing using the chrome guitar connector. The connector is keyed and must be inserted correctly (lock lever up) for a proper fit. (The NORMAL OUTPUT Jack on the Guitar Controller is not connected to the Guitar Synthesizer.) MIXED OUTPUT USING ONE AMPLIFIER GUITAR SYNTHESIZER OUTPUT USING TWO AMPLIFIERS GUITAR AMP Note:The GR-300 outputs are set at guitar level for use with guitar amplifiers. When using the AUX IN of a hi-fi type amplifier, a preamp may be necessary in order to bring the sound level up to the desired listening level. (AUX) HI-FI AMP When there is no connection to the GUITAR OUTPUT jack on the rear panel of the Guitar Synthesizer, the output at the MIX/SYNTH jack consists of an equal mixture of the guitar and synthesizer sounds. OR USE LEFT AND RIGHT INPUT OF STEREO AMPLIFIER When both output jacks are used, the outputs are separated with the guitar sound at the OUTPUT jack and the synthesizer sound at the MIX/ SYNTH jack. These separate outputs can be passed through separate effects devices and amplifiers for stereo sound. 3 STANDARD SETTING GS-303/808 GR-300 A POWER ^-STRIWG SELECT-COMPRESSION ——¡Si——a*, n—» Polyphonie dff—u—LJ—li—u—u—u—°FF u—°ff Guitor Synthesizer HEXAVCO MASTER TUIMIIMG RISE TIME FALL TIME II A-»-PITCH-► B /v.'A A*. -/ig|^+ -/mm+ SLOW^'.AST MAK* " *rV1AK MAX* »MAX LFO RATE UNLATCH \ @jj|] LATCH UNLATCH I Hj| LATCH VCF ATTACK TIME MIN* * MAX SEIMS Roland GR-300 DUET A --PITCH-«- B ENV MOD EIV1V IIMV PRODUCING SOUND Set the controls as shown on the left. Set the external amplifier volume at minimum and turn on all the power switches. Turn up the volume control; playing the guitar should produce the guitar sound. If needed, tune the Guitar Controller in exactly the same way as an ordinary electric guitar is tuned. To produce the synthesizer sound, turn the BALANCE control fully clockwise (to "10"). This control determines the balance between the guitar and synthesizer sounds. For the moment, leave it at "10". The sound produced now is the unprocessed sound from the synthesizer VCO’s (voltage controlled oscillators). Press the DUET foot switch. The DUET switch adds the fundamental pitches of the guitar strings to the VCO sounds to produce a chorus effect. It is necessary to tune the VCO's so that they match the pitches of the strings by using the MASTER TUNING control. For accurate tuning, use as high a guitar pitch as possible and allow at least ten minutes for a warm-up period after first turning on the power switch. USING THE VCF Let's try the VCF (voltage controlled filter) section next. While producing sound as described above, try slowly lowering the Guitar Controller VCF CUTOFF FREQ control to "0". Note that the sound becomes softer with fewer harmonics. The purpose of the VCF Is to control the tone color of the s...
