The GW-8 is not equipped with an amplifier or speakers. In
order to produce sound, you need to hook up audio
equipment such as a monitor speaker or a stereo set, or use
headphones.
You can record your playing (or a song recorded on the GW-
8) onto an audio recording device. Connect the OUTPUT jacks
on the GW-8’s rear panel to the input jacks of your external
device.

Connecting a pedal and switch
You must switch off the GW-8’s power before you connect a
pedal and/or switch.
Connect a separately available pedal switch (Roland DP
Series) to the HOLD PEDAL jack on the rear panel. You can
use this pedal switch to sustain notes even after taking your
hands off the keyboard.
Connect a separately available pedal switch (Roland DP
Series), a separately available foot switch (Boss FS-5U) or
separately available expression pedal (Roland EV-5) to the
rear panel CONTROL PEDAL jack. You can use this to control
various functions that you assign (p. 38).
Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold
separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

the EXT INPUT jack
You can connect an MP3 player or other audio device to the
GW-8’s EXT INPUT jack, and listen to the playback.
