Learning to Play by Playing (For Synthesizer Novices)

Next, press the

down (w) button to change to the tone

name input screen.

Example:

Use the

left (U) and right (I) buttons to move the cursor

between input positions, and the

tone number buttons to

input characters.

• The illustration below shows the letters that each of the

tone number buttons inputs. Each press of a button

cycles through the letters or toggles between the settings

assigned to it. For information about what types of

characters are supported, see page E-103.

• You also can use the

minus (–) and plus (+) buttons

or the

dial to scroll through characters.

After the tone name is the way you want, press

ENTER.

This will cause “Replace?” (Do you want to replace the current

tone?) to appear on the display.*

Press

YES to save the user tone.*

*1 Saving data to a tone number deletes any data that was

previously assigned to that number.

*2 If you do not want to save the data, press

NO instead

of YES.

• We recommend that you back up all data stored in

Synthesizer memory to a memory card or a computer hard

disk. To save data to a memory card, see “Using a Memory

Card” (page E-86). To save data to a computer, see

“Connecting to a Computer” (page E-92).

To recall a stored user tone, use the same procedure as that

for recalling preset tones. Let’s try recalling the tone we just

saved.

• Before specifying the tone number, press

PRESET/

USER to enter the user tone select mode.

At this point you have mastered the simplest steps required to

edit and save tones. But you shouldn’t stop here. Your

Synthesizer has a wealth of other tone editing features,

functions, and tools. Take the time to learn about these and

you will become capable of high-level tone editing. Find out

more under “Selecting and Creating Tones” on page E-18.

Your Synthesizer does much more than create tones. It is also

equipped with a collection of functions that support uniquely

expressive rhythms and phrases that enhance your

performances. This section provides a simple introduction to

some of these functions.

Press

ARPEGGIO so the button becomes lit.

Press any key on the keyboard. The arpeggio function will

cause the note assigned to the key to play in an endless loop.

The loop will stop when you release the keyboard key.

Pressing two or three keyboard keys will loop play the notes

of the keys you press. Pressing three or more keys will cause

an arpeggio (sometimes referred to as a “broken chord”) to be

played.
