The RS-50’s keyboard will not play internal sound generator parts whose Receive Switch is turned OFF.

be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Scale Tune

You can specify a different tuning (Scale Tune setting) for each part. Press [ENTER] to access the Scale Tune setting screen. For details, refer to “Editing the scale tune settings (SCALE TUNE)” (p. 58).

If you want to edit the scale tune for Patch mode, refer to “Making scale tune settings for a patch (PATCH SCALE)” (p. 91).

Part Patch Edit

fig.r06-54b_40

The patch assigned to each part can also be edited from Performance mode. You can press [ENTER], and edit the patch parameters and save the patch in the same way as from Patch mode (p. 44).

If you decide to stop editing the patch, press [EXIT] to return to the above screen.

Patch mode and Performance mode share the same patches. This means that if you save a patch in one of these modes, the newly saved patch will sound if you select it in the other mode. To avoid problems, such as unintended changes in the sound of patches you are using in Performance mode, please be aware of this when you save patches.

If the same patch happens to be selected in both Patch mode and Performance mode, and you save the patch in one mode and then switch modes, the patch will still sound in accord with the settings prior to the save. However, once you re-select the patch or the performance again, the patch will then sound in accord with the newly saved settings.
