When you’re tuning your guitar, the SYSTEM EDIT/PATCH EDIT
indicators—shown here circled in green—act as tuning indicators.
Play the note again and watch the tuning indicators.
If the note’s:
in tune—the green SW MODE•RESO indicator lights green.
flat—one or both of the red indicators light to the left of SW
MODE•RESO to show exactly how flat the note is.
sharp—one or both of the red indicators light to the right of SW
MODE•RESO to show exactly how sharp the note is.
Re-tune the string until the SW MODE•RESO indicator lights green.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for all of the other strings.
Press TUNER again, or press EXIT.

How GR-0 Patches are Organized
The GR-20’s sounds are called “patches.” They’re organized into categories
called “banks:”
Piano
•
Organ/Keyboard
•
Bass/Guitar
Brass
•
Wind
•
Strings/Orchestra
Synth/Lead
•
Voice/Pad
•
Ethnic
Rhythm/Percussion
•
User (your own patches)
The Customizing GR-20 Patches Workshop booklet explains how to
customize factory patches and save them as your own User patches.
Select patches when you’re not playing using the GR-20’s knobs. While
you’re playing, select patches using the GR-20 foot switches or the GK-3
switches on your guitar.

If you’re using the GR-20 with an external sequencer, the sequencer
can also select patches using MIDI Program Change and Bank Select
messages.
Selecting Patches When You’re Not Playing
When you want to select a patch on the GR-20, you start by selecting the
patch’s bank using the BANK knob. The indicator for the currently selected
bank lights to show you where you are. In the illustration below, the
STRINGS/ORCH indicator is lit.
BANK knob Number/Value dial
Once you’ve selected the bank you want, turn the Number/Value dial to
choose the desired patch within the selected bank.
Selecting Patches as You Play
Selecting Patches Using the GR-0 Foot Switches
While the GLIDE and HOLD foot switches normally allow you control the
behavior of notes you play, you can also use them for selecting patches,
hands-free. Here’s how:
Press SYSTEM EDIT repeatedly until the SW MODE indicator lights.
Turn the Number/Value dial to select 2, for Switch Mode 2.
Press EXIT—the GR-20 stores your settings.
