USING THE CUSTOM
TONE SYNTHESIZER
The keyboard’s custom tone synthesizer
lets you create up to 32 of your own
original tones. To create a “user” tone,
you simply select one of the keyboard’s
200 preset tones, change its parame-
ters, then store the new tone in any
memory location from 168–199. You se-
lect and use a user tone the same as a
preset tone.
Notes:
You cannot use tones 160–167
(drum set tones) as base tones.
The preset tone you use as the
basis for a user tone is not changed.
The tone locations 168–199 are not
empty (before you store user tones
there). They initially contain dupli-
cate versions of tone numbers 128–
159. The user tone you store in any
of those locations replaces the exist-
ing tone. If you delete a user tone,
the keyboard automatically restores
the initial, duplicate tone there.
The parameters you can change are di-
vided into four groups. For the details of
each parameter, see “Creating and Stor-
ing a User Tone” on Page 21.
