Modifying the Tone Changes in a Song

In some songs, the instrument sound changes during the course of the song (that is, the Tone changes in the middle of a Part). In such songs, an instruction to switch the Tone is inserted at the place where you want the sound to change. This instruction is called a “Program Change” (PC), and actions such as deleting program changes, or changing the Tone that is selected by them are called “PC Editing.”

1.Follow the steps in “Choosing an Editing Function” (p. 124) to choose <PC Edit>.

The following screen will appear.

The Part number appears at the top of the screen.

3.Press the Bwd [ ] and Fwd [ ] buttons or

touch on the screen to find the note you want to correct.

Once you touch <Event>, then you can also search the note by the dial.

4.When you’ve found the Program Change you want to modify, touch <Tone Name> on the screen.

5.Use the Tone Select buttons to choose the Tone group, and use the dial to choose one of the tones.

If you want to delete the Program Change, touch <Delete>.

6.When you’re done making all the settings, touch <Exit>.

You are returned to the Song Edit screen.
