Editing a Tone (User Tones)

Use the procedures in this section to edit the tones of each part (Upper1-2, Lower1-2), and to add effects to suit your needs.

Editing a Tone

On the MENU screen, touch “TONE”.

Assign the tone you want to edit to one of Digital Keyboard’s parts.

• For information about how to change the tone

assigned to each part, see the Digital Keyboard’s USER’S GUIDE (Basics).

Touch the “Edit” button of the part that is assigned the tone you want to edit.

This displays the editing screen for the tone assigned to the part.

• If “Edit” is not displayed for the part whose tone you

want to edit, touch “Select”. This will cause the button to change to “Edit”.

After inputting the tone name, touch “Enter”.

10.

Touch the destination tone number.

• If the tone number already has data assigned, there

will be an asterisk (*) next to it.

11.

Touch “Execute”.

If the selected preset number does not have any data assigned, the message “Sure?” will appear. If it does have data assigned, the message “Replace?” will appear.

12.

Touch “Yes”.

This stores the data.

• To return to the screen in step 10 without saving,

touch “No”.

To rename a tone

On the MENU screen, touch “TONE”.

Assign the tone you want to rename to one of Digital Keyboard’s parts.

• For information about how to change the tone

assigned to each part, see the Digital Keyboard’s USER’S GUIDE (Basics).

Touch the item whose setting you want to change.

• To configure more advanced settings, touch

“Advanced”.

• The setting items that appear on the editing screen

depend on the tone you are editing.

• For information about editable parameters, see the

explanations in the applicable tone category table under “Tone Editing Screen and Editable Parameters” (page EN-6).

Change parameter settings as desired.

• Use the 9 w/NO, q/YES buttons to change

setting values.

After editing everything you want, touch “Write” on the TONE EDIT MENU screen.

Touch “Rename”.

Touch the keys of the on-screen soft keyboard to input the tone name.

Touch the “Edit” button of the part that is assigned the tone you want to rename.

• If “Edit” is not displayed for the part whose tone you

want to rename, touch “Select”. This will cause the button to change to “Edit”.

Touch “Rename”.

• If the tone number already has data assigned, there

will be an asterisk (*) next to it.

Touch “Execute”.

10.

Touch “Yes”.

• To cancel the operation, touch “No”.

Tone Editing Screen and Editable Parameters

• Shaded cells in the table on pages EN-7 through

EN-25 indicate a group made up of multiple setting items. Touching “Enter” displays the setting items of a group.

Deleting a Tone

On the MENU screen, touch “TONE”.

Assign the tone you want to delete to one of Digital Keyboard’s parts.

• For information about how to change the tone

assigned to each part, see the Digital Keyboard’s USER’S GUIDE (Basics).

Touch the “Edit” button of the part that is assigned the tone you want to delete.

• If “Edit” is not displayed for the part whose tone you

want to edit, touch “Select”. This will cause the button to change to “Edit”.

Editable Melody Tone Parameters

There are three melody tone types, each of which is described below. With this Digital Keyboard, editable parameters are the same, regardless of tone type.

• Normal Tone: This type of tone is best for

reproducing the sounds of melody instruments with normal scales.

• Piano Tone: This type of tone is best for realistic

reproduction of slight changes in sound due to key touch pressure, as with a piano.

• Versatile Tone: Tone that incorporates various types

of sounds. Such a tone makes it possible to exert precise control over various musical expressions for a single instrument in accordance with where on the keyboard notes are played, or how much pressure is applied when pressing keys.

Touch “Clear”.

Touch the name of the tone you want to delete.

Touch “Execute”.

Touch “Yes”.

• To cancel the operation, touch “No”.

Editable Drawbar Organ Tone Parameters

These are tones of a vintage drawbar organ with nine drawbars and a rotary speaker. The Digital Keyboard’s cr Sliders operate as drawbars with these tones.

• Drawbar organ tone can be assigned to Part 1 (Upper 1) only.

• Drawbar organ tones are not affected by operations that change the pitch of a note over time (such as pitch bend

wheel operations), and temperament settings.

• While a drawbar organ tone is selected, distinctive drawbar noise constantly sounds, regardless of whether or not

a keyboard key is pressed.

• A drawbar organ tone can be used for a single part only.

You can use the pattern sequencer to create accompaniment patterns that sound while using the Digital Keyboard’s Auto Accompaniment function and store them as user rhythms.

Rhythms, Accompaniment Patterns, and Instrument Parts

Each of the Digital Keyboard’s rhythms provides 12 different accompaniment patterns named INTRO 1 and 2, VARIATION 1 through 4, FILL-IN 1 through 4, and ENDING 1 and 2. Each accompaniment pattern can be made up of eight instrument parts (drums, percussion, bass, and chord 1 through chord 5). The overall configuration of a single rhythm is as shown below.

Instrument Part Editing and User Areas

As a general rule, pattern sequencer editing operations are performed on an instrument part basis. The pattern sequencer maintains special memory areas called “user areas” for each instrument part for the purpose of rhythm editing. These areas are used when recording keyboard play. Note, however, that the user area is not used when using an existing rhythm while retaining part of its existing data (Fixed Data). You can check the status of a selected instrument part on the PATTERN RECORDER screen.

On the MENU screen, touch “RHYTHM”.

Select the rhythm to be edited.

On the RHYTHM screen, touch “Edit”.

Touch “Pattern Sequencer”.

Touch “Recorder”.
