User Tone Creation Hints

The following hints provide helpful advice on making user tone creation a bit quicker and easier.

Use a preset tone that is similar to the one you are trying to create.

Whenever you already have a rough idea of the tone you are trying to create, it is always a good idea to start with a preset tone that is similar.

Experiment with various different settings.

There are no real rules about what a tone should sound like. Let your imagination run free and experiment with different combinations. You may be surprised at what you can achieve.

Storing a User Tone In Memory

The following procedure shows how to store a user tone in memory. Once a tone is stored, you can call it up just as you do with a preset tone.

To name a user tone and store it in memory

1. Select a preset tone to use as the basis for the user tone, press the SYNTH button to enter the Synthesizer Mode, and make the parameter settings you want.

2. After making parameter settings to create the user tone, press [￿] (ENTER).

3. Use [+] and [–]to change the user area tone number on the display until the one where you want to store the tone is shown.

You can select any tone number from 238 to 247.

The message “Save OK” appears momentarily on the display, followed by the tone or rhythm selection screen.

To abort the save operation at any time, press the SYNTH button or the [￿] (EXIT) button to exit the Synthesizer Mode. Pressing the SYNTH button again (before selecting another tone) returns to the Synthe- sizer Mode with all of your parameter settings still in place.
