Creating sounds

One patch can contain two sounds, each with their own OSC, MIX/MOD, FILTER, AMP and LFO settings. This
is just as though the SH-201 contained two synthesizers.

These two sounds are called the

UPPER tone

and the

LOWER tone

.

fig.UPPER-button

Playing and editing the UPPER tone

Press the UPPER button so the UPPER button’s indicator is lit. (The indicator
for the LOWER button goes out.)

When you play the keyboard, the UPPER tone will sound.

Edit the UPPER tone as described in p. 28 through p. 44.

fig.LOWER-button

Playing and editing the LOWER tone

Press the LOWER button so the LOWER button’s indicator is lit. (The indicator
for the UPPER button goes out.)

When you play the keyboard, the LOWER tone will sound.

Edit the LOWER tone as described in p. 28 through p. 44.

The

DUAL

setting will layer the UPPER tone and LOWER tone so that they will be heard simultaneously.

For example you could use this capability to create a patch in which a sound with a short amp envelope attack
time (A) is heard first, followed by a slower sound with a longer attack time.

fig.DUAL-button

To select Dual, press the DUAL/SPLIT button so its indicator is

lit

.

When you play the keyboard, the UPPER tone and LOWER tone will sound
together.

If you press the UPPER button or LOWER button while Dual is selected,

the

indicator of the button you pressed begins blinking

, while the indicator of

the other button lights.

When you operate the panel buttons or knobs,

the tone whose indicator is

blinking is affected

.

* If you use the D Beam to control Active Expression (p. 20), only the UPPER tone will be heard when the volume is low, and

the LOWER tone will be added as you increase the volume.

* In the Dual state, two notes are layered; this means that only half the usual number of notes (i.e., five notes) can be played

simultaneously.
