Performance Functions and Effects
The D Beam controller is a controller that you use simply by
positioning your hand above it. You can use this to control one of
two functions that you select. By changing the selected assignment,
you can control a wide variety of effects.
To turn the D Beam controller on, press either [ASSIGNABLE 1] or
[ASSIGNABLE 2] so the button is lit. To turn it off, press the button
to make it go dark.
You can’t use [ASSIGNABLE 1] and [ASSIGNABLE 2] at the
same time.
Assigning the D Beam Controller Function
1. Press [ASSIGNABLE 1] or [ASSIGNABLE 2] to access the D
Beam assignment screen.
2. Turn the VALUE dial to select the desired D Beam function.
If you turn off the power while the D Beam setting screen is
displayed, the D Beam setting you chose will not be
remembered by the GW-7. You must press [EXIT] before you
turn off the power.
A performance using a function that produces a sound such as
DRUM ROLL can't be recorded in a song.
