Roland GR-1 Picture


Effects: Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Flange
Polyphony: 24 Notes
Multitimbral: 4 Parts
Patch Memories: 64
Sequencer: 2000 Notes

The GR-1 uses a 13-pin connector and is compatible with the Roland GK-2A, Yamaha G1D, or other similar hexaphonic guitar synth pickups. Guitars with built in synthesizer pickups like the Brian Moore i8.13, Godin LGX-SA, and Roland-ready Stratocaster are also compatible.

The pitch tracking circuitry in the GR-1 is the same as those used in the GR-09, GR-50, GM-70, and GI-10 and note response will be at the same speed as in those units.

Factory Reset:

(CAUTION: All USER information will be lost. Be sure to back up any information you wish to keep.)

1. Power on while holding WRITE/COPY. The display will show "ALL INIT" and "OK?" flashing.

2. Release WRITE/COPY and then press YES. "WAIT" will show in the display for a few seconds. When the Factory reset is complete, "11RHODES" will show in the display.
