Touring your DisCover 5

r
The following is a more traditional approach,
which may nevertheless be practical for experi-
enced users. The display tracks your actions on
the TONE/USER PROGRAM pad, so that you
could start by pressing one of those buttons,
and finish off via the display. (The following
refers to “Tone/User Program Select Mode [2],
see p. 36.)
(1) On the main page, press the row of the part
you wish to assign a different Tone to.
If the [SPLIT] button does not light, this step is
unnecessary, because Tone selection automati-
cally applies to the active Keyboard part (whose
KEYBOARD PART button lights).
(2) Press the [TONE] button if it doesn’t light.
The TONE/USER PROGRAM [1]~[8] buttons allow
you to select sounds and registrations (“User
Programs”). You therefore need to specify what
you want these buttons to do.
(3) Take a look at the numeric buttons in the
TONE/USER PROGRAM section.
If the name of the Tone family (GM/GS family
mapping) is printed above a number button,
that family belongs to Group “A”. Names
printed below the number buttons belong to
group “B”.
There are two Groups with 8 banks each.
(4) Press the [GROUP] button once or twice (so
that the “A” or “B” indicator lights).
You can also press the [A] or [B] field in the dis-
play.
The Tone changes (to correspond to the family
and number of the newly selected group). The
display changes to:
Note: That Tone may not be what you need at all. See
“Choosing the Tone/Drum Set switching system” (p. 35)
for how to change that.
(5) Press a TONE/USER PROGRAM [1]~[8] button
to select a family within this Group.
You can also press a field in the display (and
thus switch to the “other” Group if necessary).
The display now responds with a list of Tones
available in that family:
(6) Press the field of the Tone you are interested
in. If you don’t like it, press another field.
Note: If you picked the wrong family, you can press the
[Family] field to return to the previous display page.
Variations
If you think the Tone you selected is close, but
not entirely what you need, you can refine your
selection as follows:
(7) On the above display page, press the
[Variations] field.
(8) Press a field on this page to select a Tone
Variation.
