Parts and sounds
This unit is able to produce 32 different types of sound at once. An instrument such
as this unit, which can simultaneously produce many sounds from a single unit's is
called a multi-timbral sound generator. A Timbre is an instrumental sound. Being able to
simultaneously play 32 sounds means that you can use 32 different instruments at once.
In other words, you can create an orchestra-like ensemble of 32 musical parts. In this
unit, the sound selected for each Part is called an Instrument. (Instrument chart, p.154)
You can assign the sounds you want to each of 32 Parts to create your own ensemble.
There are two types of Parts: Normal Parts and Drum Parts. We refer to this differ-
ence as the Part mode (p.27). Normal Parts are used for playing melody or bass lines.
Drum Parts are used for playing percussion instruments.
This unit has three maps; a Native map which contains original sounds, an SC-55
map which contains almost the same sounds as the SC-55/SC-55mkII, and an SC-88
map which contain the same sounds as the SC-88. (p.21, 154)
Here's how to select instruments or maps to try out the sounds.
