2. Press the button for the part whose sound you want
to modify. The button will light.

If you select a part to which a rhythm set is assigned, the FILTER
section “TYPE” indicator will go out.

each rhythm tone (percussion instrument).

Use [F1]–[F4] to select a parameter, and use the sliders to adjust the
values.

use [VALUE] or [DEC/INC] to adjust the value.

tions, p. 42) on/off.
