Selecting Favorite Patches (Patch Palette)

You can bring together your favorite and most frequently used patches in one place by registering them into the patch palette. By using this function, you can rapidly select favorite patches from internal memory or a Wave Expansion Board.

For details on how to register a patch in the patch palette, refer to “Registering a Favorite Patch (Patch Palette)” (p. 35).

1.Access the PATCH PLAY screen (p. 21).

2.Press NUMBER [1]–[8] to select a patch.

3.To switch the patch palette bank, hold down [BANK] and press NUMBER [1]–[8].

When you press [BANK], the indicator of the currently selected bank button (NUMBER [1]–[8]) will blink.

If you continue pressing [PATCH ASSIGN] or [BANK], the PATCH PALETTE window will appear. In this window you can view the patches that are registered in the currently selected bank.

Selecting Patches from the List

You can display a list of patches and select a patch from that list.

1.Access the PATCH PLAY screen (p. 21).

2.Touch <List> in the upper left area of the display.

The PATCH List window appears.

3.Select a patch from the list.

Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC/+][DEC/-] to select a patch. You can also select a patch by touching it on the display.

If you select a patch in the list and play the keyboard, the selected patch will sound. This is a useful way to audition the sound of a patch.

4.To view other patches, touch <017-032>–<241-256>, located at either side of the screen. To view higher-numbered patches, touch <257-512>, located at the bottom of the screen.

Transposing the Keyboard in Semitone Steps (Transpose)

Transpose changes keyboard pitch in units of semitones.

This function is useful when you play transposed instruments such as trumpet or clarinet following a printed score.

1.Press [TRANSPOSE] to light indicator.

This turns Transpose on.

2.While holding down [TRANSPOSE], press [+OCT] or [-OCT] to transpose the keyboard.

Pressing [+OCT] once while holding down [TRANSPOSE] will raise the keyboard one semitone.

Pressing [-OCT] once while holding down [TRANSPOSE] will lower the keyboard one semitone.

The specified Transpose setting will be shown in the “Trans” indication of PATCH PLAY screen.

Alternatively, you can move the cursor to “Trans” in the PATCH PLAY screen and turn the VALUE dial or use [INC/+] [DEC/-] to make the setting. You can also do this by dragging on the touch screen.

3.To turn off Transpose, press [TRANSPOSE] once again so that its indicator goes off.

The Transpose setting you make will be maintained.

There is a single Transpose setting (Setup parameter) for the entire V-Synth. The changed setting will be remembered even if you switch patches.
