change value to be sent: “U: Picking Front Position
Value” specifies the control change value for the nut side
of the split position”, and “V: Picking Rear Position
Value” specifies the control change value for the bridge
side of the split position. The control value range is from
“0” to “127”. “---” will appear on the display and the
parameter will be unavailable if the “T: Picking Position
Control” parameter is turned “off”.

Edit Mode

S: Memory Location

Settings: Lo, Hi, ---

This parameter determines whether the second split-mode
program (specified by the “R: Split Memory 2 Number”
parameter, above) is played on the lower or upper string
group when the String Split mode is selected, or on the
neck or bridge side of the split position when the Picking
Position Split mode is selected.
When set to “Lo”, the second program is played on the
lower-pitched string group in the String Split mode, or on
the nut side of the split position in the Picking Position
Split mode.
When set to “Hi”, the second program is played on the
higher-pitched string group in the String Split mode, or on
the bridge side of the split position in the Picking Position
Split mode.
When the “Q: Split” parameter is set to “off” (i.e. no split
mode is selected), “---” appears on the display and this
parameter is not available.

The “T: Picking Position Control” parameter specifies the
control change number to be transmitted when the guitar
is played. The range is from “1” through “31”, “33”
through “120”, or “AF” for After Touch. No picking
position control change message will be transmitted when
this parameter is turned “off”.
The “U: Picking Front Position Value” and “V: Picking
Rear Position Value” parameters specify the control

The G50 is capable of detecting the amplitude envelope
of the guitar output and converting this to MIDI control
change data which can be used to produce interesting
variations in the synthesized sound. You could, for
example, have the guitar envelope control a filter cutoff
frequency to create a “sweep” effect.
The “W: Touch Control” parameter specifies the control
change message to be transmitted in correspondence with
the guitar envelope. The range is from “1” through “31”,
“33” through “120”, or “AF” for After Touch. No touch
control change message will be transmitted when this
parameter is turned “off”.
The “X: Sensitivity” parameter sets the G50’s sensitivity
to the guitar envelope. Higher positive values increase the
sensitivity, and thefore the “range” of the converted
control change data. Negative values produce a corre-
sponding inverted envelope. If the “W: Touch Control”
parameter is turned “off”, “---” appears on the display and
this parameter is not available.
