This Variation system is used to provide access
to all Tones you can select. After all, 2 Groups ×
8 families × 8 memories add up to 128 possibil-
ities, which is only a fraction of the Tones you
can select.
Hence the Variation system, which adds a “sub-
category” to the Tone memories. The number of
Variations varies from Tone to Tone: it can be
anything between 1 and 50. See the included
“Tone & Drum Set Lists”.
(9) Press the field of the desired Variation.
(10)If you are still not happy with the Tone, use
the [1]~[5] fields (right side) to select the cor-
responding page and its 10 Variations (if
available).
If you now return to the Tone memory page, it
may look as follows:
The symbol means that the selected Varia-
tion is being used (see also its “address” in the
upper right corner), but that your choice will
not be remembered. So next time you select
that Tone memory (“A31”), the DisCover 5 will
once again use the “Organ 1” Tone.
To ensure that the “Full Organ 6” Tone is
assigned to the “number position” (1 in this
case) –thus replacing the “Organ 1” Tone–, you
need to proceed as follows:
(11)Press the [Variations] field.
If you’re still on the Variation page (see step (7)
above), this step is unnecessary.
(12)Press the [Customize] field to store your Varia-
tion assignment.
The display briefly responds with the following
message and then returns to the Tone memory
page.
(13)Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main
page.
Next time you select the ORGAN family page
(because you want to choose an organ Tone),
the display will look as follows:
(The first memory no longer recalls the “Organ
1” Tone, but the “Full Organ 6” variation.)
●
Choosing the Tone/Drum Set switching
system
Your DisCover 5 uses a new system for Tone
and Drum Set selection (at least as far as
Roland aficionados are concerned): when you
press the [GROUP] button or when you select a
GM/GS family (formerly called a “bank”), the
DisCover 5 immediately recalls the Tone of the
same memory (and family) of the new group.
Example: if you are currently working with Tone
A41, selecting Group B will activate Tone B41,
which may not be at all what you need.
If you prefer the DisCover 5 to go on using the
previous Tone (or Drum Set) until you have
selected the Tone/Drum Set memory, here is
what you need to do:
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
