Editing: Effects
Switching patches without interrupting the sound The GT-1000CORE is equipped with a new type of high-speed patch switching system, allowing you to switch patches with minimal interruption of the sound. The fastest possible switching is automatically performed for each patch, and switching without interrupting the sound is also possible.
Tips for preventing interruptions in the sound To prevent interruptions in the sound, observe the following points when you create the patches that are used before and after the switch.
5 Avoid changing the position of blocks within the chain.
5 Use multiple blocks when placing the effects (dont change the TYPE within the same block).
5 Use parallel positioning, and switch the channel.
Example: Switching from a clean sound that uses chorus and deep delay, to a crunch sound that uses phaser and shallow delay.

Looper You can record up to 38 seconds (MONO) of a performance and play back the recorded section over and over. You can also layer additional performances with the recording as it plays back (overdubbing). This lets you create real-time backing performances on the fly.
Assigning Looper Functions to Switches To use the looper, you must first assign the loopers record, play, and overdub functions to the desired switches. Here we explain an example of how you can use the [CTL1] switch of the GT-1000CORE to operate the looper.
1. Select the patch with which you want to use the looper.
2. Choose [MENU] 0 CONTROL ASSIGN 0 CONTROL FUNCTION.
3. For CTL 1, set FUNCTION to LOOPER.
MEMO
5 With the factory settings, preset patches P246P250 and user patches U246U250 are set as shown above.
Loop Playback Level Setting If you set the playback level at 100 (default value), the volume of the performance and that of the loop playback will be identical. If you set the playback level to a value lower than 100, the volume of the playback will be lower than that of the performance. As a result, the sound of the performance wont get buried by the loop playback sound, even if you record a multiple number of times.
1. Press the [EFFECT] button.
2. Turn knob [SELECT] to select LOOPER.
3. Turn knob [1] to specify the LEVEL value.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY
WARNING Concerning the Auto Off function
The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto Off function). If you do not want the power to be turned off automatically, disengage the Auto Off function (p. 10).
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptors body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.
CAUTION Keep small items out of the reach of children
To prevent accidental ingestion of the parts listed below, always keep them out of the reach of small children. Included Parts
Rubber feet (p. 2)
Handle the ground terminal carefully
If you remove the screw from the ground terminal, be sure to replace it; dont leave it lying around where it could accidentally be swallowed by small children. When refastening the screw, make that it is firmly fastened, so it wont come loose.

IMPORTANT NOTES Power Supply
Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator faces upwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Placement Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you
place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.
