You can create a user tone by editing one of the built-in preset tones.

Tone Creation Overview

The preset tones built into this Digital Keyboard consist of a number of parameters. To create a user tone, you first recall a preset tone (A:001 to K:128) and then modify its parameters to change it to your own original tone.

Note that drum set sounds (K:129 through K:145) cannot be used as the basis of a user tone.

The illustration nearby shows the parameters that make up the preset tones, and what each parameter does. As can be seen in the illustration, parameters can be divided into four groups, each of which is described in detail below.

•DSP Parameters

(1)Tone Characteristic Waveform

• Tone Setting

Specifies which of the preset tones should be used as the original tone.

(2)Volume Characteristic Parameters

These parameters control how the tone changes over time, from when the keyboard key is pressed until the tone decays. You can specify changes in volume and sound characteristics.

• Attack time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone to reach its highest volume level. You can specify a fast rate, where the tone reaches its highest volume level immediately, a slow rate where it gradually rises, or something in between.

• Release time

This is the rate or time it takes for the tone volume to fall to zero after a keyboard key is released. You can specify a release that ranges from a sudden fall to zero, to one that gradually falls to zero.
