Applying various effects to the sound

Changing the tone with the knobs (Patch Modify)

Using the five panel knobs, you can change the tone in real time.

On the RS-50, each patch consists of two tones; the upper tone and the lower tone (p. 40). The way that the tones are sounded (Single/Split/Dual) is saved in each patch, and you can change this using [KEY MODE] (p. 44).

■Selecting the tone that you want to modify

(DESTINATION TONE)

Use the [DESTINATION TONE] button to specify whether you will modify the upper or the lower tone.

fig.q05-01

•UPPER lit: Only the upper tone will be modified

•LOWER lit: Only the lower tone will be modified

•Both lit: Both the upper and lower tones will be modified

■Adjusting the volume balance of the two tones

You can use a knob to control the volume balance of the upper tone and lower tone.

fig.q05-02

1.Press the patch modify select button to make the BALANCE/LFO indicator light.

2.Turn the [BALANCE] knob.

Turning this to the right increases the volume of the upper tone, while turning it to the left increases that of the lower tone.

Patch Modify applies +/- adjustments relative to the settings of the original tone. Depending on the tone you select, this may not always produce a noticeable change in the sound.

For a rhythm set, Patch Modify applies to the set as a whole.

You cannot change the volume balance for rhythm sets.
