The factory settings have
tone demos registered in
the “Favorites” (p. 25).
You can check and confirm
the internal tones.
You can delete tone demos
in the “Favorites” and
overwrite them by saving
other songs in their place.
If you want to play back
tone demos after they have
b
een deleted, initialize the
User Memory to restore the
factory settings (p. 97).
Songs on VIMA CD-ROMs
(VIMA TUNES) are
programmed with
“recommended tones”
suitable for each song.
When you select a song, the
recommended tones are
assigned to the RG-3M’s
Tone buttons, and those
Tone buttons then flash.
When you press a flashing
Tone button, the
recommended tone is
selected, enabling you to
perform the selected song
using a tone matched to that
song as it plays back.
You can also switch the
Split function (p. 69) on and
off by holding down a tone
b
utton and pressing the
[Song] button.
The Tone screen appears as
shown below when the
Split function is on.
Pressing a tone button once
more cancels the Split
function.
