Learning to Play by Playing (For Synthesizer Novices)

E-12

Play something on the keyboard to hear what the tone sounds

like. Use

VOLUME to adjust the volume.

• Note that the Solo Synthesizer tones are monophonic. If

you press multiple keys, only the note of the last key

pressed will sound.

Solo Synthesizer actually is a category that contains 100

built-in (preset*) tones. What we played here is just one of

them. Now let’s play some more of the preset tones in this

category.

* There are also “user tones” which are those that you create

and store for later recall. The terms “preset” and “user” are

also used for other types of data, such as Step Sequencer

data, performance data, etc.

Press the

plus (+) button. Each press increases the

preset tone number and changes the tone setting.

You can use the same operations to select the tones in the

other categories besides Solo Synthesizer, so experiment for

yourself to find out what tones are available.

Tone creation is actually what using a synthesizer is all about.

Starting from a preset tone, you can change various

parameters to create a tone that is your own original sound.

With this setting, pressing the

EDIT button provides you

with a collection of powerful editing capabilities (page E-20).

In addition, you also can use the

sliders to easily alter

tones without using the

EDIT button. Here we will take a

simplified look at editing a Solo Synthesizer tone. This

process is covered in greater detail later in this manual.

Press

TONE and then rotate the

dial to select a tone

number.

Play some notes on the keyboard. As you do, rotate the

ASSIGNABLE KNOBS. This will change the characteristics

of the tone that is sounding. Make adjustments until the tone

sounds the way you want.

Example: Rotating K1 while P:000 is selected as the tone

After you are finished, you can save the result as a user tone.

Press

WRITE to enter the save mode. The save

destination will appear on the display screen.

Use the

dial or

minus (–) and plus (+) buttons to

specify the tone number where you want to save your user

tone.
