Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds

Modifying the Patch Assigned to a Part

When using Patches in Performance mode, some settings
such as effects settings will be affected by Performance
settings. If you wish to edit a Patch while hearing how it will
sound in the Performance, use this procedure:

1. Make sure that the PERFORM PLAY display is showing.

2. Press [

] or [

] to select the Part to which the selected

Patch is assigned.

3. While holding down [PERFORM], press [PATCH].
Both button indicators will light. This will call up the PLAY
display of the Patch assigned to the currently selected Part.

4. The following steps are the same as when you modify a

Patch in Patch mode.

5. When you finish making settings, press [EXIT] to call up

the PLAY display of the Patch assigned to the Part.

An asterisk (*) will be displayed at the left of the Patch group.
This indicates the Patch settings have been modified.

6. To return to the PERFORM PLAY display, press

[PERFORM] or [EXIT].

* If you select another Patch in the group with an asterisk (*), the

modified Patch settings will be lost. To keep these modified
settings, you must write them into user memory (p. 68).

Editing a Rhythm Set

You can change the percussion instrument assigned to each
key. As each percussion instrument consists of a single
Rhythm Tone, there is no Palette display.

1. Press [RHYTHM] to access the RHYTHM PLAY display,

and select the Rhythm Set whose settings you wish to
modify (p. 55).

2. Press [EDIT] to make the indicator light.

3. Use the function buttons to select the display group.
The button indicator of the selected display group will blink.

* Since Rhythm Sets do not have an LFO, it will not be possible to

select the LFO group.

4. Use [ ] or [ ] to select a display page.

5. If you have selected a parameter display that can be set

independently for each key, the key selected for editing
will be shown in the display. To select a different key,
play the desired key on the keyboard.

fig.3-17

* If [EDIT] indicator is turned off, you can also use the TONE

SELECT [1]–[4] (located in the row of function buttons) to
select the displayed key.
TONE SELECT [1]: move to an octave lower key
TONE SELECT [2]: move to the semitone below
TONE SELECT [3]: move to the semitone above
TONE SELECT [4]: move to an octave higher key

6. Use [

] or [

] to move the cursor to the parameter

you wish to modify.

7. Use the VALUE dial, [INC]/[DEC] or numeric keys and

modify the parameter value.

* If you’ve made a mistake in setting the parameter value or you

don’t like the changes, just press [UNDO/COMPARE] to
restore the value to what it was.

8. If you wish to move to another display group, press

[EDIT] to make the indicator light, and use the function
buttons.

* You can also move to another display group by holding down

[SHIFT] and using [

] or [

]. Since this can be done even

when [EDIT] indicator is dark, it is a faster way to get around
because you don’t have to turn on [EDIT] indicator each time.

9. Repeat steps 3–8 to complete a Rhythm Set.

10. When you finish making settings, press [EXIT] or

[RHYTHM] to return to the RHYTHM PLAY display.

An asterisk (*) will be displayed at the left of the Rhythm Set
group. This shows Rhythm Set settings have been modified.

fig.3-18

* If you select another Rhythm Set in the group with an asterisk

(*), the modified Rhythm Set settings will be lost. If you wish to
keep these modified settings, you must write them into user
memory (p. 68).
