Using the internal sound generator

Editing the parameters

Parameters can be controlled from the SD-80's panel only in GM2 mode and Native mode.

Of the parameters that can be controlled from the SD-80, only MFX settings that were edited in Native mode can be saved within the SD-80 as a user patch ("Saving a patch" (p. 50)).

Chorus/reverb settings and part parameters will be lost when the SD-80 is powered-off. We recommend that you store these settings in a sequencer program or on an external MIDI sequencer, by using individual data transmission ("Writing/loading SD-80 settings" (p. 69)).

■Editing part parameters

You can change the way in which the sound selected for a part will be heard, to adjust the sound ideally for your performance. Part parameters include parameters that adjust the volume, tonal character, and pitch.
